The final Advent theme is love, a fitting end to all our reflections throughout December, since God is love and love is the most excellent way.
Christina Rosetti’s poem ‘Love Came Down At Christmas’ reminds us of this fact:
‘Love came down at Christmas,
Love all lovely, Love divine;
Love was born at Christmas;
Star and angels gave the sign.
Worship we the Godhead,
Love incarnate, Love divine;
Worship we our Jesus,
but wherewith for sacred sign?
Love shall be our token;
Love be yours and love be mine;
Love to God and others,
Love for plea and gift and sign.’
In the midst of all the busyness, keep your eyes fixed on Love!
