Advent 21

Christmas:
the Christ Mass.
At the very heart of our celebration of Jesus’ birth,
the tokens of his death.

“Take and eat; this is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me…
…Drink, all of you. This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.”
(taken from Matthew 26:26-28 and Luke 22:19-20)

Come close.
Behold the Bread of Life,
as yet not weaned onto solid food;
Behold the Lamb of God,
as yet honoured only by rough shepherds.

Come close.
Behold.
Adore.
