"This child is God, come to be with us in the midst of all our brokenness, in the midst of every deep dark sadness, in the midst of oppression and danger and heartache and despair. Jesus is with us. The child who has been brought to be blessed is a blessing. Here he is, our tiny vulnerable flame, alight in the dark."
