God is Not Afraid of Your Chaos

Readings from the Mass at Night, Christmas Eve: Isaiah 9:1-6; Gospel of Luke 2:1-14 (The Message translation)God's Word carries all the power this week.  God, in God's great vulnerability and desire to not remain distant, is born into the chaos of a stable and into the chaos of our world.  That alone is worthy of celebration.  But it was not a one time event.  What we celebrate this day is the coming together of heaven and earth in the person of Jesus Christ.  And because of that, everything is changed.  There is no more sacred and profane split.  Rather - God is present everywhere.  Even now.  If we have but the eyes to see.  Special thanks to Bridget Zenk for the writing and performing of our intake and outtake music.  Have a comment, question or critique?  You can be in touch with me at [email protected].  Blessings to you this Christmas and always!  May you experience the presence of Christ born anew into the chaos of your life this day and always!
