Bless this CHRISTMAS! Merry, Merry, Merry LOVE! Born is HE, WHO IS LOVE!

Peace on EARTH! Good will to ALL! I am in AWE OF THE Mystery of the INCARNATE WORD made Flesh here in the form of the LITTLENESS of creatures, a BABY! Love is Born. LOVE IS ALIVE! He is breathing and shivering in the PIERCING COLD. Laid on a MANGER with the warmth of swaddling clothes. Who is this BABE? HE is the ETERNAL PRIEST of ALL MANKIND who will mediate for the REDEMPTION NEEDED to save us from our own sinful NATURE! A PRIEST born TODAY, THE ONE MEDIATOR between Man and GOD. THE GOD MAN is BORN! Human and Divine in NATURE, yet ONE DIVINE PERSON! Where is my poor sinful nature.....WHERE? My human NATURE is delivered from SIN! DIVINITY HAS REDEEMED and YOU HAVE created in me a WILL TO FREELY ACT and an INTELLECT to KNOW where and how SIN CAN BE CONQUERED. THROUGH YOU, Divine Love, True God and TRUE MAN! Through you, O PRIEST of my HEART! A Babe DIVINE and Human! A Babe for you and for me. I have been drawn from the waters and have been ELEVATED TO UNION with you, DIVINE BABE so little, Little , LITTLE!

The NATURE OF MY HUMANITY has been drawn towards a DIVINE UNION with the OMNIPOTENT GOD and CREATOR of my SOUL! Love calls us to KNOW OF THE DIVINE GOODNESS of HIS OWN LITTLENESS so that we too, may KNOW of our OWN LITTLENESS! So trusting is our GOD TO PLACE HIMSELF in the TOTAL CARE of Mary. So too, we share in this ENTRUSTMENT and place our own vulnerable and TENDER WEAKNESS in our Lady's HANDS and are EMBRACED by her MATERNAL MEDIATION!

So little, Little, LITTLE.....

I shall rise, Rise, RISE......

to the

GLORY AND SUBLIME GREATNESS of His little, Little, LITTLE HAND of REDEMPTION!

As a Baby has no way to DEFEND HIMSELF, and to feed Himself, or care for His BASIC NEEDS, He is EVER MORE left to the abandonment of those who are willing to EMBRACE HIM! In all HIS Divine POWER, the Eternal High PRIEST has bestowed this POWER to His Most Merciful MOTHER and PROTECTOR St. Joseph, Most Chaste Spouse....in turn, to all of MANKIND! A POWER of DIVINE LIFE, GRACE and SALVATION.

TENDER and Loving is our DIVINE BABE, we have been LOVED to DIVINE GOODNESS! Nature has been REDEEMED by DIVINITY and HUMANITY as ONE!

The BEAUTY of the Liturgy

Reveal to me, O Christ, the FULLNESS of Your Beauty found in the Liturgy of the Word made FLESH for all to see and hear from the eyes and ears of those who SEE and LISTEN! Let no compromise of the WORD, the ETERNAL WORD, come forth from me as Your unworthy servant. Let me SERVE You with the BEAUTY of all Your Splendour and may I FULFILL Your Holy and Divine Will as a Praise and GLORY to Your Infinite and Omnipotent Name. I love You, my God! And may it show.
