The Incarnation is time to celebrate, or as Thomas Merton puts it: "Make ready for the Christ, whose smile - like lightning - sets free the song of everlasting glory that now sleeps, in your paper flesh - like dynamite."
And God goes ahead enfleshing spirit and inspiriting the flesh; while for us, who have learned, like Elizabeth, to trust holy visitations, our life leaps within us for joy!

Lovely - that we practice incarnational faith means everything to me.
God came to us in the flesh, the Word became flesh and thus all springs forth from that.
Amen and amen and amen.
