John 1:1-14

The result. The culmination. The denouement. The end.

Christmas day marks the end of the Advent journey. The journey we have taken as individuals and as members of various communities.

We take in the spirit of the season, the gratitude and giving, and hope against all hope that God’s grace and goodwill is permanent.

My prayer is this: that by reaching this season’s end we are all better equipped to begin again.

To begin each day, each conversation, each online interaction, each and every space not-yet-filled with empathy and kindness, and be the light that pours in to diffuse the darkness.

As the Word became flesh, may our inner light become life.
