How glorious it is that a mighty and seemingly distant God now comes so close to us in the baby Jesus Christ.
This baby is the very essence of the Father fully revealed to us, in contrast to the "partial and various" ways God spoke through prophets in the time before His Son was born.
We now rejoice in the Light that has come to our world, which reconciles us back into right relationship with God, the purity of Creation at the beginning, as Father Bob so marvelously noted in his homily.
Now that we are reconciled, we become bearers of Good News to a world, announcing that God continues to dwell among us, working to make everything right again.
