Reflections -
The Gift of God's Word
On this day of gifts and gift-giving, it seems appropriate that we
take a moment to reflect on the great gift of God’s Word. Because it
is creative, God’s Word always points to its author, always
calls us to respond. Because it is powerful, God’s Word can link the
sublime with the ridiculous, the transcendent with the immanent, the
divine with the human. Because it is graceful, God’s Word
establishes a relationship of deep intimacy between us and God. At
the heart of God’s Word lies a tantalizing tension between the
mysterious and the mundane. In our liturgical celebration, this
unresolved tension both reveals the meaning of life for us and calls
us to respond, to act upon that meaning. Once accepted and opened,
the gift of God’s Word is a gift that keeps on giving and keeps on
calling us to give in return. It dares us to be like the gift-giver
and to become gifts for others, not only at Christmas, but at every
moment of life. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.
