“My idea of God is not a divine idea. It has to be shattered time after time. He shatters it himself. He is the great iconoclast. Could we not almost say that this shattering is one of the marks of his presence? The Incarnation is the supreme example; it leaves all previous ideas of the Messiah in ruins.”
–A Grief Observed [London: Faber&Faber, 1961], p.52
Happy Christmas! ' … the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.' [Horae ad usum Rothmagensem, 1498] pic.twitter.com/GGqZ33fpev— LambethPalaceLibrary (@lampallib) December 25, 2021
