After all, who could make a
hummingbird or a
butterfly?
This we know.

But would we have known how much he loves us,
… that he couldn’t just observe and watch?

We didn’t know
that he loves every patch and freckle of us,
that he is our constant companion,
picking us up when we fall,
aways there to hold our
hands and show us
the way
to go.

He came to Bethlehem
as a baby.

“We can only stand in awe-struck silence before such love
that is beyond boldest expectation,
beyond all telling.”*

To
our ancestors
God spoke in partial and various ways.

Then,

God spoke directly through his Son who is the imprint of
his being, the radiance of his glory, through whom he
created the universe and by whom he sustains
all things by the word. Oh yes, he took
down the wall when he brought
his firstborn into the world
and said to the babe
in the manger:

“You are my son; this day I have begotten you.”

O Lord, let us listen,
help us
hear.
