Christmas 2

Contemplating with the Blessed Trinity

In the Spiritual Exercises, Ignatius of Loyola begins the contemplation on the mystery of the Incarnation with the Trinity looking down on the world they have created out of love. It is in a horrible mess. What do the divine persons feel?Disgust? Rejection? Condemnation? None of these - their response is one of infinite compassion; they decide that one of them should enter into the very depths of this mess, take it all unconditionally to His heart, and so heal and save it from within. That what is Incarnation (God's coming in flesh)is all about: Emmanuel, 'God-with-us' in the heart of our lives and in the very midst of all the messiness of what it means to be human.

So, the feast of Christmas invites us to celebrate life in its fullness.

PEACE AND JOY OF CHRISTMAS!
