Episode notes
On Midnight Mass and Christmas Day, Fr Sam reflects on the power of names and what they reveal about who we are — and who God is. Drawing from St John’s Gospel, he explores Jesus as the Logos: the meaning at the heart of reality who became flesh and lived among us.
This episode traces the names of God through Scripture, the God who sees, the God who sustains, and the God who saves revealing a God who knows us fully and comes close to carry what we cannot.
Christmas, then, is not about having life figured out or being “good enough,” but about discovering what it means to be known, forgiven, and loved by the God who calls us by name.
