The Word is one of us

Haiku of wonder


In the beginning.

Great opening to a book

exploring myst’ry.


How did it begin?

Big bang; the divine Logos,

sparking in the dark?


John writes of the Word;

one with God, present; cosmic

primogenitor.


Verses of wonder:

through him came life, bringing light

for all humankind.


The defiant light

shines through the gloom. The darkness

cannot put it out.


Throughout history

the Word comes, speaking God’s life.

Not many listen.


More wonder! The Word

becomes human; one of us,

sharing in our life.


Grace and truth have come

to us in Jesus, God’s Son.

Jesus makes God known
