The Word in us

The Word found a home, not in a sacred world, not in the temple, not in the palace.
The word found a home in the profanity of everyday human conditions.

The Word was made flesh.
The Word was visible in nature
in its marvelous dynamics of caring for and maintaining each of its members.
The word has been in human forms in care, kindness, compassion and goodness in all ages.
The Word incarnated in human form.
He was cared for by a helpless mother and father,
sheltered by shepherds.

There is a communion of bodies that care for the Word made flesh.
Care manifests in a blessing,
"Blessed are you, and blessed is the Word you have given birth."
There is rejoicing in my flesh because of your presence, your word, your touch.
It is in communion of our bodies we can welcome and in-personalize the Word.
It is in communion of bodies we can be the living Word, incarnate and risen.
There is beauty and glory shared,
pains and injuries known,
healing desired,
and Christ is known to be alive in the flesh.
