TI 3: 4-7
LK 2: 15-20
Thank you for remaining with us through this season of patience, self-examination, and preparation. We hope that the daily writings by members of the SLU community have been helpful and that, like Mary in the gospel, you have reflected on these things in your heart.
What Child Is This?
How could it be
that the Creator of the Universe
would think of me?
How could it be
that the Creator of over
a trillion galaxies
would care for me
as a mother, her baby?
How could it be
that the Creator of over
300 hundred billion stars of our galaxy
would comfort me
as a father, his child?
How could it be
that the Creator of the Universe
would conceive of pomegranates
peaches, plums, and apples
to feed me?
How could it be
that the Creator of the Universe
wishes me to call Him, Father?
How could it be
that the Creator of the Universe
would come to me
as a helpless baby
lying in straw in a manger?
How could it be
that the Lord of the Universe
would come to me as a child,
the Christ Child
telling me he needs a
home in my heart?
