Like Any Other Birth, Like No Other Birth

Like any other birth, like no other birth, a child entered our life: source of great joy, great wonder, to a little huddle of family and a handful of strangers in some fields; while the rest of the world slumbered on in the dark. Wake us, Lord, this cold-numbing night to know the joy and the wonder, the tender mercy of your love made flesh: this radiant Child, dream of our dreams and hope of our hopes. Amen.
