Christmas
begins in the Word.
In
the beginning was the Word.
The
Word was with God and was God.
And
the Word became flesh and dwelled among us.
But
in the Mystery of God some words are not spoken:
Zechariah
is silenced and Joseph says nary a nary.
In
the Gospels the Patriarchy are forced to listen;
the
powerful endure the fate of those whose lives they too often control.
In
the Gospels it is the Voiceless who spoke first and who spoke most clearly:
Elizabeth,
the very first “Christian,” exclaimed,
Mary,
sang the song for the ages:
The
Reign of God inbreaking through social reversal.
Can
we move beyond the need for #MeToo?
What
will it take to nurture a sacred silence among we who have everything?
How
can we give voice to the Voiceless?
Will
we listen to Elizabeth exclaim and
Mary sing this Advent?
Awaiting Christ’s Return,
Brad Munroe
