Gospel Reading: Jhn 1: 1-18
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. John testified to him and cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘The one who is coming after me ranks ahead of me because he existed before me.’” From his fullness we have all received, grace in place of grace, because while the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God. The only-begotten Son, God, who is at the Father’s side, has revealed him.
Lord, Jesus, Eternal Word of the Father, I thank You for coming among us and for making Your eternal dwelling present to us.
Thank You for the great mystery of Christmas.
Help me to always celebrate this season with great joy and gratitude, and also with a sense of mystery.
May I always realize that the mystery of Christmas will never be fully understood.
May this mystery draw me closer each and every day so that I may fall more deeply in love with You, my eternal God.
Amen
