As a global pandemic rages, we face a Christmas unlike any other. This year, joy mixes with grief; rejoicing with exhaustion; all the usual trappings are overshadowed. Yet, the Christmas Story encourages us not to be afraid, but to rejoice in the glad tidings of the “True Light that gives light to everyone”.
Every year, the True Light comes to us in the hopes, dreams, and disappointments of our everyday lives.
The first time the Story was told, it came in a promise whispered across the Ages, foretold by prophets: it came heralded with songs; delivered by signs in the heavens, the majesty of angels and the mysteries of God.
This Christmas, the True Light is coming once more...
