Behold, when the fullness of time had come,
God sent his Son into the world. – Gal 4:4
“Above all else,
this is what Christmas bids us to
do:
give glory to
God, for He is good, He is faithful, He is merciful.
...Let us allow ourselves
to be warmed by the tenderness of God;
we need His caress. God’s caresses do not
harm us.
They give us peace and strength. We need His caresses.
God is full of
love: to Him be praise and glory forever! - Pope Francis
"The Bethlehem
has never passed away.
…It lives a real, unbroken,
unsuspended life, not in history only, or in art, or in poetry, or even in the
energetic
fertile worship and fleshly hearts of the faithful,
but in the
worshipful reality of the Blessed Sacrament.
Round the
Tabernacle, which is our abiding Bethlehem
of beautiful devotion which surrounded the
new-born Babe, real, out of real hearts, and realized by God’s
acceptance. "
Fr
Frederick W
Faber
"The mystery of Bethlehem is
renewed upon the altar,
and the cry goes
forth:
'Christ is born to us. Come, let us adore!' "
Fr Karl
Adam
