“When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about." So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. Luke 2:15-20
Reflection - Nothing ever really happens to a shepherd – life was boring and they were considered common. Nothing ever exciting happened to them. Cold, stuck outside with a thousand sheep they were poor and only had just enough money to live on. Except for David killing Goliath no other Shepherd was considered exciting
Suddenly of course it all changed.
Meditation - May I sing with the angels
May I hurry with the shepherds
May I seek the star with the wise men
The Word is made flesh and we have seen his glory
Glory in the darkness of a stable
Glory in the humility of a manger
Glory in the love of God poured out
May this day be filled with the light of the glory of your love
