O Rex Gentium

 Bind Us Together

O King of the nations and their Desire, the Cornerstone who binds two into one:/ come and save mankind whom you fashioned from clay.

From our current world of division and confusion comes the plea for unity and a reminder of our formed-from-clay fragility.  We need our Maker, our Savior to bind us together and make us whole again as individuals and as a people.  By ourselves we fragment, fall apart, and walk aimlessly in the dark. This year the "Bethlehem Star" (Jupiter and Saturn) shines in our night sky attracting our attention and putting us in the shoes of the Magi who followed that star to the crib of Jesus. Yes, we need guidance from above, and more than just from a star, but from the child who was born to save us, the Light of the World, the Son of God. May our desire to see him, worship him and give ourselves to him help us pick up the pieces of our fragmented relations with one another and become whole again. Come, Lord, Jesus, save us whom you fashioned from clay.
