Incarnation: Honoring the Body


Christmas is a vivid reminder that God uses flesh and bones, hands and feet, voices and ears to spread his Kingdom in the world. Mary made herself available to God and literally had Christ formed in her own body. The result was the birth of a giddy mystery: Word-become-flesh; God with us!

This year in SFCC, we've been given the opportunity to read the chapter in Sacred Rhythms about honoring our own bodies. If you haven't had the chance yet, give yourself an hour or two to read and rest with this material.

If you have read the chapter, you might also enjoy this essay and its ideas for honoring our bodies.
