God Became Flesh

Listen Now 

Opening Prayer

Lord, you humbled yourself to come among us in human flesh, and opened the way to salvation.

Scripture

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. -John 1:14

Reflection

Holy Spirit, kindle the flame of our faith. Grow us in joy. By your gracious visitation, lighten the darkness of our hearts.

Prayer

Holy God, You are greater than we comprehend. Through you, all things were made. Nothing lacks your touch. Jesus, you are the living Word of God, The creative force that Brought life to all that is. Before all things, You were in the form of God, But didn't see this as something to be possessed. Rather, you emptied yourself, Submitting to your creation. The Word became flesh And dwelt among us. We were in the wilderness And you pitched your tent in our camp. The true light, who gives light to all Has come, illuminating the world. Your loss is our gain. By your sacrifice We see the full Glory of God. You came from the Father Full of grace and truth And we are blessed Beyond measure. You relentlessly pursue. You bless when curse is due. Our God is not removed. Not aloof and unaware. You came down into the mire To lift us up from the pit.

Closing Prayer

Behold we are the servants of the Lord. Let it be to us according to your word. May we rest in the peace that the darkness can never extinguish the light that has been given to us.
