On Christmas we celebrate when the fullness of time came,
and we saw Divinity in a child,
poor, lonely, and vulnerable.
Yet the child brought hope,
by fulfilling promises made long ago,
of redemption and salvation.
The child came, not to receive glory,
but to give
light that shines in darkness.
Now the prophecy has been fulfilled:
he who is Wonderful, God counselor, prince of peace
is among us.
He has placed his hand upon the lion's head
and played before the adder's lair.
by giving meaning to our suffering.
blessings were the good things that happened to us,
and sufferings, God's punishments.
This child has turned the table,
and shown that all men and women, children and vulenrable adults
suffer and have pain.
Blessings come from remembering the child,
and the gift of life he gives,
a gift that overcomes all adversities.
This Christmas day, we return to remember,
God dwells here on earth,
within the simple and trusting heart.
May the Prince of Peace
bring that peace to each and every heart
this Christmas Day, and every day.
Amen
