"We are all meant to be mothers of God. What good is it to me if this eternal birth of the divine Son takes place unceasingly, but does not take place within myself? And, what good is it to me if Mary is full of grace if I am not also full of grace? What good is it to me for the Creator to give birth to his Son if I do not also give birth to him in my time and my culture? This, then, is the fullness of time: When the Son of Man is begotten in us."

Exploring Advent-angels and shepherds

Today is the 4th Sunday in Advent, and it is Christmas Eve. What better day to reflect on the angels who announced Christ's arrival and the shepherds who heard the news.

  Shepherds and Angels That night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding their flocks of sheep. Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord’s glory surrounded them. They were terrified, but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. The Savior—yes, the Messiah,…

Ahaziah’s Christmas Story

Ahaziah’s Christmas Story: I wondered what it might be like for a commoner (Ahaziah) to come across Jesus in Bethlehem. We know Jesus and the historical and spiritual impact of His birth. But what about a guy going about his business in ancient Bethlehem? Here is what I imagine that make-believe story to be.

The Mystery of the Gospel

… that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, (Ephesians 6:19) The Gospel is a mystery. The Gospel (Greek: euaggelion) means “good tidings” or “good news.” The angel brought the euaggelion to the shepherds who watched their flocks by night.[1] It was the euaggelion that the Savior was born in Bethlehem. But what did this euaggelion mean? When the angels departed, the…

The Birth of Jesus

1 Now it came about in those days that an order went out from Caesar Augustus that there was to be a numbering of all the world. 2 This was the first numbering, which was made when Quirinius was ruler of Syria. 3 And all men went to be numbered, everyone to his town. 4 And Joseph went up from Galilee, out of the town of Nazareth, into Judaea, to Beth-lehem, the town of David, because he was of the house and family of David, 5 To be put on the list with Mary, his future wife, who was about to become a mother. 6 And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. 7 And she had her first son; and folding him in linen, she put him to rest in the place where the cattle had their food, because there was no room for them in the house. — Luke 2:1-7 | Bible in Basic English (BBE) The Bible in Basic English is in the Public Domain.

Is it Too Early to Celebrate Christmas?

On my morning walk a couple of days ago, I saw that one of my neighbors has started putting up their outdoor Christmas decorations. This got me wondering if it’s too early to start celebrating Christmas. Of course, there’s no definitive answer to this question, so I wanted to offer my opinion. I think that from a commercial aspect, it does seem too early. Many stores are already having their…
