Christmas
is the birth of the divine from human life. It is the recognition that every
life bears the nature of God to be lived out upon the earth. The Christmas
story is about one person, but the Christmas message is about each of us
recognizing the divine potential of our own life.
Christmas
is about divine visitations to ordinary persons conceiving new life within. Can
we not imagine our own life being a womb that brings
forth grace and love, healing and forgiveness? As we give ourselves to simple
prayer and little actions can we not imagine God taking our humble offering
like Jesus took a few loaves and fish, and feed a multitude of others?
Let Christmas be a time of holy visitations
in your life. Let the quiet and long dark nights of winter be a womb for holy
light breaking forth from our life.
Fr.
