Reflection for January 2

The (Theological) Meaning of Christmas

O God, who wonderfully created, and yet more wonderfully restored, the dignity of human nature: Grant that we may share the divine life of him who humbled himself to share our humanity, your Son Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. (The Collect for the Second Sunday after Christmas, The Book of Common Prayer, p. 214)
