Merry Christmas!

My prayers for a merry Christmas go out to all of my readers and their families! I leave you with this short reflection from the Holy Father's homily at Midnight Mass in Saint Peter's Basilica.

God love you!

Father V.

The medieval theologian William of Saint Thierry once said that God – from the time of Adam – saw that his grandeur provoked resistance in man, that we felt limited in our own being and threatened in our freedom. Therefore God chose a new way. He became a child. He made himself dependent and weak, in need of our love. Now – this God who has become a child says to us – you can no longer fear me, you can only love me.
