Christmas is a feast for the eyes. We hardly know where to look first. The church is alive with all the symbols of Christmas celebration. Even before we enter we see signs of the season at the entrances of the church. The manger scene is a magnet for the children to come and see. The sanctuary is filled with light. All Advent we have been praying for Christ’s coming. The candles proclaim Christ, the light of the world. Candles are meant to remind us that Christ is in our midst because we are gathered in his name. The words of the ancient “O come, let us adore Him!” remind us that we are here to give glory to God. Stop, look and listen! The Lord is in our midst! By all means look around and then look within your own heart ... to find an even more profound presence of the God who came to be one with us.
