we approach the temple in silence.
the church fathers spoke of Mary's body as the burning bush -- full of the glory of God, burning, but not consumed.
the Lord is in his holy temple, let all the earth keep silence before him.
Mary stands before us as a temple example, a Christmas prototype of our bodies as Christ-bearers.
do you not know, then, that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit? for God's temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.
peace on earth, goodwill to all,
blessed Christmas eve,
