Lord, thank you for entering our darkness as one of us. May this small flame remind us: the light has come, and the darkness has not overcome it. Amen.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2–11
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Matthew 1
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9
Christmas
Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus. The Gospels place his birth in a manger in Bethlehem; the first to adore him were shepherds and travelers from the East. The church has kept this feast since the earliest centuries as one of the centers of the year.
In our chapel you can light a candle at the altar, listen to an old hymn, and open Luke chapter two. Christmas does not belong to the noise — it belongs to the quiet.
