As we gladly and mercifully move into 2021 this week, I hope that we will bring forward the spirit of deep caring, the respect and empathy we have for our shared mortality, and the examples and hearts of the many we loved and lost – into who we are and how we live in this new year. For even in the midst of this difficult year, the Word has still become flesh, and the Light has still overcome the darkness. As we enter this long-awaited, much-anticipated new year, may the incarnate light of Jesus shine through us as we become the proof of his truth.
