and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God.
All things came to be through him,
and without him nothing came to be.
What came to be through him was life,
and this life was the light of the human race;
the light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness has not overcome it."
John 1:1-5
"Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world."
John 1:29
“And in the Incarnation the whole human race recovers the dignity of the image of God. Henceforth any attack, even on the least of men, is an attack on Christ, who took the form of man, and in his own Person restored the image of God in all that bears a human form.
Through fellowship and communion with the Incarnate Lord, we recover our true humanity, and at the same time we are delivered from that perverse individualism which is the consequence of sin, and retrieve our solidarity with the whole human race.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship
The unsustainable will not be sustained. It ends in flamboyant deceits, and a spectacle of vulgarities.
The US markets will be closed tomorrow in observance of Christmas eve.
God bless us, everyone.
