Christmas Day

Up and Becomers

By Bruce Sanguin

Cosmic Womb,

Universe Bearer,

Life of All Life, 

Light of All Light,

Dark Mystery.

All creation magnifies your holy name.

All creation rejoices with Mary that you choose to be born

and not remain pure being.

In her, in us, in this blessed realm of time and space,

you come to us and become through us,

in this evolutionary venture of life,

divinity fleshed in a Bethlehem birth.

But also in all willing souls, who with Mary and others

Up and becomers,

Consent to give birth to you 

and the sacred kin-dom.

Yes, we join with Mary to magnify your blessed name.
