"And the WORD became flesh,
and dwelt among us,
and we beheld His glory,
glory as of the only begotten from the FATHER,
full of grace and truth.
John 1:14
As we enter the season where we remember the arrival of the Wise men to behold the long-expected one, let us rejoice!
"O GOD, who on this day by the leading of a star didst reveal thine only begotten Son to the Gentiles: Mercifully grant that we, who know Thee now by faith, may be brought to contemplate the beauty of thy Majesty; through the same Thy Son, Jesus Christ our LORD, who liveth and reigneth with Thee, and the Holy Ghost, one GOD, world without end. Amen
