Two thousand years ago with His infinite love God gives Himself to us. He comes among us as a vulnerable infant , nestles into Mary’s arms , and ever since then again and again He is born on our altars in the holy Eucharist. “ I am here, I am yours, I trust in you !” A living gift.
I like to imagine in my mind’s eyes the quiet, simple cave in Bethlehem , with the holy Family in it, with the Christ Child. What an amazing simplicity ! The Lord of the Universe comes into this world with empty hands ! He does not bring anything , because He Himself is the blessing, the gift.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son..” (John 3,16)
