Carols: Angels from the realms of glory
Everywhere you look in the birth accounts of Jesus, humans are reactionary - none of the human actors initiate anything - they react to whatever God has done. Maty reacts to the Holy Spirit bringing her to pregnancy. Joseph reacts to what is revealed to him by the Lord. The shepherds react to the proclamation of the angels. The wise men react to what the Lord has revealed through natural phenomenon.
God initiates everything, and we humans react - we respond to the revelation of God. And that, if we stop and think about it, is the nature of the grace of God that lies at the heart of the birth narratives: God must initiate because we are dead in our sins that we would never, of our own free will, return to him.
Prayer:
Father, thank you that you are proactive, and thank you for the grace of your activity. Amen.
