We recall the Birth of Jesus Christ, God made man. This is a masterpiece of love!
God descends from Heaven to the earth, to save His poor creatures. Yes,
He came from Heaven; He became man, embracing the humble existence of
His creation! He, who is eternal God as the Father, equal to the Father
in power, wisdom, and love! Born as a man, but is eternal as God!
He came into the world and was made man and was manifested as Light, Light that shines in the darkness: Present among us today as then,
but now his humanity is veiled; is present in His Word and by His
Works, in the Eucharist and in the Sacraments, the Church and in the person of each of our brothers and sisters. For those who follow Christ, find in Him the Light and Life.
This is how the Birth of Jesus Christ took place: «Joseph,
leaving the city of Nazareth, in Galilee, went to Judea, to the city of
David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and
lineage of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his wife, who was with
child. And, while they were there, she gave birth to her first-born and
wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there
was no room for them in the inn.
In
the same region, there were shepherds (...) The Angel of the Lord
appeared to them and said to them: “Be not afraid; for behold, I bring
you good news of a great joy which will come to all people; this day, in the city of David, a Savior was born for you, who is Christ the Lord”» (Lk 2, 4-12).
St. Luke then refers to the
shepherds, who saw and heard what was said to them and they believed and
praised God. In the same way, we should also revive our faith in the
revelation which God gives us here; we must believe and say: «My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You. I ask pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You».
And, like Our Lady, we must keep all these truths in our hearts, with faith, hope and love.
