Alleluia!

A Rocha USA / March 30, 2018

Rejoice! Here at the ARUSA blog, we’ve done a series or two on waiting, because our two seasons of waiting – Lent and Advent – are important parts of the Christian year. They call us inward, to reflect on the processes of the earth and our role within them. However, we haven’t yet done a …

A Rocha USA / December 11, 2017

A Rocha USA / December 8, 2016

Over the next few weeks, a few of us here at A Rocha will be posting a series of short meditations on waiting in God’s creation as we prepare for the celebration of Christmas. By Bethany Winz I can’t think about Advent and waiting without thinking about the twenty waiting rooms I’ve sat in …

Waiting in Hope

Anna Wilde / November 22, 2016

I’ve been thinking a lot this week about time, and the different ways it exists. First, there is the rather arbitrary way that we measure time, independent of the natural world: things happen on the first or last day of the month, or every two weeks, or the second Tuesday of November. These …
