Feast of St. John

Today is the Feast of St. John, the beloved disciple. We, too, are beloved disciples. 

Here is a poem by Chris Rodgers given to me by my spiritual director and it gives me much to reflect on this Christmas:

To Partake is this Singular Glory

This hallowed

encounter

with humanity

This baby

wrapped

in mystery

This invitation

to incarnate

divinity

To come this close to God.
