This Is Christmas!  

​12/21/21  

Word made flesh and Peace incarnate in love
This is Christmas
Purity and Innocence wrapped in swaddling clothes
This is Christmas
Poverty and Joy in Harmony and solitude
This is Christmas
Family at the Heart of Holiness
This is Christmas
Love and sincerity to break down barriers
This is Christmas
Unity and family and faith gift wrapped in love
This is Christmas
Grace manifested in eyes of a newborn
This is Christmas

Luke 2:6-14 (DR)

"And it came to pass that when they were there, her days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her first born son and wrapped him up in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger: because there was no room for them in the inn.

And there were in the same country shepherds watching and keeping the night watches over their flock. 

 And behold an angel of the Lord stood by them and the brightness of God shone round about them: and they feared with a great fear. 

 And the angel said to them: Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy that shall be to all the people: For, this day is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David. 

 And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army, praising God and saying: Glory to God in the highest: and on earth peace to men of good will."
