Christmas Joy

Stephen P. White of Catholic University with a Christmas reflection:

“In the dim light of the manger, with the star overhead, our spiritual eyesight is permitted, as it were, to adjust. We are allowed to begin to see slowly. We are spared, at first, the full, unbearable brilliance of that Sunday morning in spring. Gathered round the manger, the reality of what God is doing begins, quite literally, to dawn upon us.

In this, we see the generosity of our God, who not only comes to save us, but does so with the quiet tenderness of a sleeping child.”
