Christmas Day


Readings: Isaiah 62: 11-12; Titus: 4-7; Luke 2: 15-20

Selected Passage:  “ Let us go, then, to Bethlehem to see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us . So they went in haste and found Mary and Joseph and the infant lying in the manger”. (Luke 2: 16-17)

Meditation:  The manifestation of God made man was in a powerless and poor infant lying in a manger. This simple and poor mark of the Lord’s nativity is akin to the powerless sign of the cross in Cavalry.  These two signs – the infant lying in a manger (Nativity) and the crucified Jesus (the Lord’s laying down his life as a ransom for our sin) - are both the signs of God’s love and solidarity with our humanity.

Let us then go to Bethlehem and behold the face of God in an infant lying in a manger!

A BLESSED CHRISTMAS TO ONE AND ALL!
