Nativity of the Lord/Christmas

As we stand before the manger today, we are not only in awe of the miracle of Christ’s birth but also reminded of our own journey through Advent. Like the shepherds, we may feel unworthy of such a profound gift, yet here we are, invited into the story. Their joy and urgency in seeking the Savior mirror our own longing to encounter Christ in our lives.

Mary’s quiet reflection on these moments invites us to do the same. In the busyness of the season, let us take time to reflect on the significance of this moment–not just as a historical event but as a living reality that continues to unfold in our hearts today.
