The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. At St. Mark's we hear these words from St. John's Gospel at the conclusion of almost every mass. One of the exceptions is on Christmas Day when the Prologue of John is the main gospel of the mass, and at the end of the mass we hear the story of the Magi adoring the Christ. Many of us can say the Prologue of John from memory since we hear it almost every day.
