   The Doctor to All   
   Day 358 of My 5th Bible Study Journey (1

   [continued from previous message]   
      
   bitter cold to the Catholic Mission House. It was the second day of a   
   Caring for the Wounded Heart Healing Group.   
   Stepping out of the biting wind, they pulled off mittens, hung up parkas,   
   and slipped off their sealskin winter boots. Their faces began to thaw,   
   meaning words could be formed again. One of the group posed a   
   question to the Facilitators.   
   "These 2.5 hour workshops are too short. Can we do 5 hours a day   
   instead? We really want to know all that Creator wants us to know about   
   our trauma and our healing."   
   Throughout the remaining sessions, the group shared deeply together.   
   They composed poems, wrote songs, acted in skits, and took part in other   
   exercises that helped identify, then express, the pain of their hearts.   
   A closing prayer was offered as the Healing Group concluded on the final   
   day, and people were free to leave. No one budged. For twenty minutes,   
   no one even uttered a sound. Finally, an Elder tentatively whispered,   
   "There is such a special presence here. We do not want to leave."   
   Creator's Word - Jesus himself - had pitched his sacred tent right there   
   in the room. And everyone knew it.   
   This group was reminded that Jesus is with us now, right here in our   
   midst. Perhaps you can sense him in this very moment. As you celebrate   
   his coming to dwell with us, may the eyes of your heart be opened to his   
   powerful presence - not just today - but throughout this next year. Merry   
   Christmas.

   'I have established you to be a light of the Gentiles,   
   that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.'(Isa 42:6; 49:6.)"

   light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of   
   the earth.
