The Nativity of Our Lord is an act of profound humility. God abased himself, an infinite step down, a dizzying descent from God to slave. The all Powerful One makes himself vulnerable and becomes an infant. He was born in Bethlehem, the “house of bread”, in a feeding trough. Mary and Joseph, shepherd, wise men, angels, animals, even the stars aligned in perfect harmony to adore the newborn King on this silent night. Love Incarnate is born and God now has a name and a face. His humble presence is the most powerful force in the world. We long for union w/God but to our great surprise, He longs for us even more. The transcendent God
desires to draw close to us, by becoming small! This is the Mystery of Christmas!
