1st Day of Christmas The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’ ”) Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known. —from the Gospel according to John God our Father, we are overcome with gratitude and peace at the supreme gift of your Son. You have done it! You have kept your great promises to your people. You have sent the Messiah, Israel’s King and the world’s true Lord. May we receive your grace and truth, and thus come to know you deeply. On this great day we are filled with rejoicing in you!
