The Miracle of Incarnation

The heart of Christmas lies not just in a historical birth but in the eternal arrival of the Divine amidst our tangible existence. Christmas isn't solely about a baby born in Bethlehem; it's about the perpetual birthing of the Divine in each of us, an ongoing celebration of Spirit embracing matter. Francis of Assisi grasped this essence, urging us to revel in our humanity.

God's love doesn’t hinge on Easter's redemptive act but begins with the embrace of flesh and form, and ignites a profound truth: our bodies, emotions, and material world are all embraced by the Divine. Advent isn't a mere countdown to a past event; it's an anticipation of the perennial birth of the Cosmic Christ within us and in the world. The essence of incarnation isn't restricted to a single historical moment; it's an ongoing revelation of the sacred interwoven with the material. We're perennially awaiting the unveiling of the spiritual within the physical, the eternal dance of Spirit within matter. The Incarnation is not just a singular event but a universal principle—an affirmation that divinity permeates all aspects of existence. In this perpetual Advent, the world constantly births moments where Spirit shines through matter, where the sacred is unveiled anew. Each such moment is a gift, an enlightenment that showcases the timeless miracle of incarnation, beckoning us to embrace the divine woven into every atom.

May the perennial dance of Spirit within matter illuminate your path,
revealing the divine woven intricately into every moment,
reminding us that each instance holds
the eternal arrival of the sacred within the tangible.

As you journey through life,
may you embrace the perpetual birthing of the Cosmic Christ within,
recognizing that the essence of divinity permeates every atom,
inviting us to revel in our humanity and
cherish the eternal embrace of the Divine in all facets of existence.
