The whole person

Greetings on this the Seventh Day in the Octave of Christmas
Readings: 1 John 2:18-21; Psalm 96:1-2, 11-12, 13; John 1:1-18

Summary

And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father’s only Son, full of grace and truth (Jn 1:14).

The whole person of God made his dwelling with us. He pitched his tent to live with us, fully and completely, in the family and in the temple.

Reflection

To those who accepted him he gave power to become the children of God (Jn 1:12a). This is not partial adoption, but a sharing in divine life.

Personal Reflection

For me, seeing a newborn baby is amazing. The sight touches me to the depth of my humanity. And at the center of all our humanity is the Lord, humble child, dwelling within us. May he pitch his tent and always dwell within us. Now and Forever.
