The Word Made Flesh | El Verbo Hecho Carne

Christmas Day
Isaiah 52:7-10; Hebrews 1:1-6; John 1:1-18

 

The Word

   spoken at the beginning,

   made flesh in history,

   still echoing today.

 

A light

   for the world,

   for the human race,

   still shining in the darkness.

 

A testimony

   of God’s love,

   of the Baptist’s hope,

   still powerful. 

 

A response

   of belief or scorn,

   of acceptance or rejection,

   still our choice

 

May the Word speak to us 

   and the light guide us.

 

May John’s testimony be ours,

         and our response be “Yes!” 

             to the grace of God in our midst.  

 

Merry Christmas!
