The Cosmic Liturgy

The Christmas story is infused by the night sky. We have the “star of wonder, star of night,” the “midnight clear,” the holy night with “the stars brightly shining” just to name a few. Our own tradition invites us into a cosmic liturgy, but are we participating? Richard Rohr reminds us that when we speak of Advent, we’re not just talking about Jesus being born 2000 years ago. “In fact, we’re welcoming the Universal Christ, the Cosmic Christ, the Christ that is forever being born in the human soul and into history.”
