ADVENT: JOY
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2: 10-11
O Holiest Of Nights
O holiest of nights
when a baby’s cry caused creation to break into euphoric praise
O holiest of nights
when the purest and most radiant light burst forth into the darkness
O holiest of nights
when perfect love cast out fear
O holiest of nights
when angel voices declared the greatest joy
O holiest of nights
when the word became flesh
because of that holiest night
what is distorted can be restored
what is damaged can be repaired
what has been hurt can be healed
because of that holiest night
I know I am created
for love
to love
because of that holiest night
the divine spark within me
fans into flame
the embers of my apathy
because of that holiest night
a voice whispers into my soul
you are mine
I am yours
because of that holiest night
Emmanuel calls to me
I am always with you
you are always with me
because of that holiest night
the wonder of who I was created by
what I was created for
causes every molecule of my being
to pulsate with delight
because of that holiest night
the deepest most exquisite joy sets my soul free
from all that entangles
because of that holiest night
I am liberated to join in the sacred, joyous dance of life and eternity
