December 25, 2023: Solemnity of the Nativity of the Lord/Christmas Day

God revealed Himself in many ways through prophets and other revelations throughout the centuries.

Now, He has revealed Himself fully in His Son.

He has come so close to us, which means so much for us.

We can now share in His divinity because He has come to share in our humanity.

We are filled with light, love, joy, peace, and life.

We are no longer afraid, for we rejoice that God has come to us, and abides with us always.

800 years ago, the world was introduced to a new way to behold the scene of the Incarnation with the first Nativity scene that St. Francis created in Greccio, Italy.

Indeed, we continue to behold the mystery that God revealed in the Incarnation in a baby born to Mary, who continues to be Good News for us.
