This morning, I stumbled out of bed after five hours of sleep and autonomically grabbed a cup of coffee. After finishing that, my parents offerred me a second cup and some breakfast — and then they remembered that I wouldn’t be eating this morning. Umm, oops. So, I took a second cup of coffee for the 1.25 hour trip to Oak Ridge for liturgy and hoped that the canonical dispensation for travellers covered the eucharistic fast, too.

I hope your celebration of the Birth in the Flesh of Our Lord and God and Savior, Jesus Christ, is joyous and bright. Christ is born! Glorify him!

Christ is born, give glory! Christ comes from heaven, go to meet him! Christ is upon earth, be exalted! Sing to the Lord all the earth; and all you peoples raise the hymn with joy, for he has been glorified! —Canon for the Birth of Christ, Ode 1, Irmos. Saint Cosmas. Trans. by Archimandrite Ephrem (Lash)
