The episode of Anthony Esolen Speaks for Epiphany is a reading from my book, In the Beginning Was the Word. The scripture reference for this meditation is John 1:14: “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”
O Thou, whose glorious, yet contracted light,
Wrapt in nights mantle, stole into a manger;
Since my dark soul and brutish is thy right,
To Man of all beasts be not thou a stranger:
Furnish and deck my soul, that thou mayst have
A better lodging than a rack, or grave.From "Christmas" (George Herbert, The Temple, 1633)
