Returning to the Heart of our Being

A Eucharist for Christmas Morning

25th December 2013

8am

St. Mary's Church

Sullington

I too will proclaim the greatness of this day:

the immaterial becomes incarnate,

the Word is made flesh,

the invisible makes itself seen,

the intangible can be touched,

the timeless has a beginning,

the Son of God becomes the Son of all people,

Jesus Christ,

always the same, yesterday, today and forever.

This is the solemnity we are celebrating today:

the arrival of God among us,

so that we might go to God,

unhindered and free,

returning to the heart of our being,

becoming one with God.

Gregory Nazianzen Oration 38, For Christmas (adapted)

Peace be with you
