The

forth

Come,

him.
This is too lovely not to share in this season of light:
I imagine God taking in his hand what has lain apart from time and space and snapping it crisply like a cloak dusted with snow, shaking free a sparkling shower of light. Fiat lux! Let there be light! A universe emerged from chaos. (...This light sustains us) through the unremarkable as well as the unbearable... Fiat lux! Let the light of the Gospel flame in our hearts, may we learn from Mary how to shelter it with prayer and be warmed by its contemplation. Fiat. Let God’s will be done in us, shaking free a Light undimmed in its sharing. Michelle Franci-Donnay in Give us this Day from January 1st.
