Isn’t this the message of Christmas; the transformation of the human story by the birth of a child – a weak and defenceless baby in the arms of a frightened mother and father? This pandemic and Christmas have this in common; they are a revelation – they uncover the little lies we tell ourselves, the falsehoods that help us feel empowered and in control. But no, we are not in control, not really. Like the Christ-child we depend on the love and care of others – because, like him, we are truly human. Our divinity, our transformation, begins only when we embrace this solidarity, the togetherness heaven shared with us that night in the City of David so long ago.
