The Christmas Mystery

Merry Christmas to all bloggers out there! May the Lord bless you abundantly in the coming year.

What a joyous time of year! Christmas is the solemnity where we remember and make present again God becoming man. The Incarnation, the "enfleshment" of God, plays a pivotal role in our history and our lives.

God sent His only Son into the world to redeem the people who had wondered far from the path of holiness. The eternal God, the God Who exists outside of time, enters human history and becomes one of us in our nature, in all but sin.

God came into this world as a baby because babies are irresistible. Who can say God is vengeful when you see the holy child in the manger? God loves us and He wants us to be one with Him. The Father sent His Son in the world by the power of the Holy Spirit to save us and live with us.

As you celebrate with family and friends with Christmas, please remember that the Father is calling you to be one with Him, one with His Son, one with the Spirit. He wants you to want this.

Hodie Christus natus est! Merry Christmas!
