In A Word began publishing in 1983. During this time the monthly publication has reached countless numbers of people throughout the world. We bring out the gifts and blessings of African American Catholics. With sparkling photos and challenging information we share the otherwise unrecognized gifts of African American Catholics.
Lord, in this holy season of prayer and song and laughter, we praise you for the great wonders you have sent us: for shining star and angel’s song, for infant’s cry in lowly manger. We praise you for the Word made flesh in a little Child. We behold his glory, and are bathed in its radiance.
Be with us as we sing the ironies of Christmas, the incomprehensible comprehended, the poetry made hard fact, the helpless Babe who cracks the world asunder. We kneel before you shepherds, innkeepers, wisemen. Help us to rise bigger than we are. Amen.
