Preparing for ChristmasSample

Today let us reflect on the humility woven into the story of Jesus' birth. In Matthew 1, we see the miraculous union of humanity and divinity as God chose to enter our world through a young woman, Mary, and the Holy Spirit’s power. In this humble beginning, the God of eternity—who spoke the universe into being—came close to us, choosing the simplicity of a human family over the grandeur of heavenly hosts. Amid our festive preparations and holiday traditions, may we remember that the heart of this season is about God meeting us in the ordinariness of life.
