We once again celebrate Christmas, that is, the important and reverent festival of love and compassion of God. Within the brilliance of this joyful feast, Our Lord Jesus, the humble infant in the manger, carries the light-bearing essence of our lives.
The Son and the Word of God, out of infinite love, become man. He was obedient to the pre-existent plan of God the Father for the salvation of the world. He accepted to be clothed with the flesh of our humanity. He who through His abundance, enriches the universe became poor so He could enrich us with His divinity. He took on human flesh to save the icon of God that each of us are and restore to us the immortality we once had.
