Adoration of the Magi, Bloemaert
Merry Christmas! More than
just the “Reason for the Season”, the birth of Christ is the means by which God
chose to save us – by sending His only Begotten Son to become man, to teach us
by His words and actions, and to lead us to Heaven by means of the Cross.
The Lord works in mysterious
ways – how a tiny baby boy could bring such promise; in which we hope for
eternal life. It is not enough to say, “My Lord, and My God”… we must share the
Good News for all mankind! Every one of us baptized in Christ are called to
evangelize. In a world today that has become post-Christian, we need a
re-evangelization.
Each one of us has an
opportunity this Christmas to bear witness. Say “Merry Christmas!” Decorate with
a nativity scene, and sing hymns when you go caroling. Christmas is more than
one day; while your neighbors may be taking down their lights before New Years,
you can keep yours up until the Baptism of our Lord.
