O,
the mystery of God’s dwelling!
First Sunday after Christmas…in our distress!
In
God’s mysterious ways, the assurance of salvation made perfect through the
suffering of God’s servant, the experience of evil does not undermine faith,
and the violence we have known and perpetuated is overcome by God’s emerging
kingdom. So let us proclaim the mystery
that fills the house of the Lord – Christ
is born!
