Merry Christmas – Volker Schunck

So that you can live
The One, who lives at the margin of society,
because God takes shape in him,
meet you in silence,
that you can recognize God.

The One, who is too precious for this world,
which nails him to the cross,
because it doesn’t understand him,
touches your wounds,
so that you can live.

The One, who is born out of God,
who is oblivious to himself,
who lives,
because God is everything to him,
bless you.

Damit du leben kannst
Der Eine, der am Rand der Gesellschaft lebt,
weil Gott in ihm Gestalt annimmt,
treffe dich in der Stille,
amit du Gott erkennen kannst.

Der Eine, der für diese Welt zu schade ist,
die ihn ans Kreuz nagelt,weil sie ihn nicht versteht,
berühre deine Wunden,
damit du leben kannst.

Der Eine, der aus Gott geboren ist,
der sich selbst vergisst,
der lebt,
weil Gott ihm alles ist,
segne dich.

“Merry Christmas” to all of you, my friends!

Euch allen “Frohe Weihnachten!”, meine Freunde!

Yours / Euer Volker
