Christmas: Light Shining in the Darkness (or the Beginning of the End of our Exile)
St. John tells us that the light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it (John 1.5). But our experience often claims otherwise. We live in the darkness of the threat of terrorism, of loneliness, of addiction, of fear, of alienation. So what do the NT writers have in mind when they make claims like this and what does it have to do with the celebration of Christmas? Check out what Fr. Maney has to say about it all and take hope. Your God reigns and is with you. Lectionary texts for tonight are Isaiah 52.7-10; OT Canticle—from Isaiah 11; Hebrews 1.1-12; John 1.1-14.
