One Small Voice

TODAY A CHILD IS BORN TO US

Come closer to Bethlehem to look,

to admire and perhaps to change

the image you have of God.

God is this Child.

God communicates with us

through human vulnerability.

Be conscious that each time

you touch your vulnerability

or that of others,

God is there in a special way.

TODAY I BRING NEWS OF GREAT JOY

Come closer to Bethlehem

to receive this great joy.

Feel the power of the Spirit,

who sends you

to be the great joy of God

wherever you go.
