The Nativity of the Lord�

“He so loved us that for our sake He was made man

in time, through Whom all times were made; was in

the world less in years than His servants, though �

older than the world itself in His eternity; was made

man, Who made man; was created of a mother,

whom He created; was carried by hands which He

formed; nursed at the breasts which He had filled;

cried in the manger in wordless infancy, He the

Word without Whom all human eloquence is mute

(St. �

Augustine, Sermon 188).” The miracle of what �

happens at Christmas is truly an awesome mystery.

Revealed in the silent ordinariness of life is God’s

intimate love for humanity and all that he made. The

Word, existing for all time, comes and dwells among

us. God kisses us. We can seek and soar with playful

delight as a joy never known before fills our heart.�

�

Joy is best expressed through dance. There is just

something truly wonderful about the self�abandon a

beautiful melodic dance reveals. If we are able to let

go and really be free, it celebrates life in a way few

other experiences really can. With the birth of Jesus

Christ, God takes the Divine Dance to a deeper and

more tangible level. We can now not only see what

we believe but believe what we see! This most �

perfect dance is a call to beauty, innocence, truth,

purpose, hope, faith, and love. Today we know, �

beyond doubt, that we are a necessary part of God’s

beautifully choreographed masterpiece of life and not

just a random happening without real intent or pur-

pose. We are loved, treasured, and blessed.�

�

Accepting the truth of God’s birth in time we also

accept an invitation to dance with God. We can let

go of what tethers us to anxious concerns and super-

ficial securities. Throw caution to the wind and go

with God. We have been blessed with talents, gifts,

and life eternal. Follow the rhythm of the dance with

joy and listen to what the Word who became flesh

tells us about what the next steps can be. Today,

heaven remains the same, but earth has been pro-

foundly changed.�
