The shine of your face
Merry Christmas Eve!
Day Twenty-Four | Waiting Still

Tonight
when she gives birth
to that holy child
She’ll marvel at the glow
of her infant’s face
The beauty and innocence
The possibility
The miracle

If only she knew
the child’s face was the moon
and hers the sun



Friend, if only you’d remember
That shine
It’s coming from you

This is a Madonna from Ecuador, hanging in the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth
