A Stronger Me In My Own Existence

The Humble Light: A Meditation on the Nativity

Today, the newborn Jesus rests

nestled in Mary’s blossoming arms,

wrapped in swaddling clothes,

laid in a manger—

humble King, born not in palace gold

but in a world of chaos and Herod’s rage

(Luke 2:7; Matthew 2:13–16).

He came as one of us,

the Word made flesh,

full of grace and truth

(John 1:14),

to taste our joys and sorrows,

clothed in true humanity.

He is the Light shining in darkness,

that darkness cannot overcome

(John 1:5).

“I am the way, the truth, and the life,”

the bridge to the Father

(John 14:6).

One with the Father and the Holy Spirit—

Triune God, eternal and true

(Matthew 28:19).

Praise be to God!

For this Child born in Bethlehem,

Christ the Lord

(Luke 2:11),

pure heart unstained by sin,

the new Adam restoring all

(Romans 5:18–19).

Glory to God in the highest,

and peace on earth to those He loves

(Luke 2:14).
