It is easy to forget that the Christmas season is about a spiritual influx of energy into the world. It occurs near the very moment that the nights are the longest and deepest to remind us that there is no darkness so deep that the light of God can not penetrate. These readings are daily reminders of what the Gospel of John proclaims, “In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.…”
Tidings is precisely the kind of daily resource that helps me emerge from the challenge of the holidays a stronger and more grounded in the love of God revealed in the coming of Jesus Christ. I hope you find it helpful as well.
