Christmas is a time of great wonder. The wonder and majesty of the Incarnation, God made man, draws us in during this holy season. The living God, whom the earth, the galaxies and the entire universe cannot contain lies in a manger as a little baby. Perhaps that is one of the reasons that this great feast is so beloved by all. It reminds us who God is and how tender his love is for us.
We celebrate how God came into the world in the subtlest, most unimaginable, and yet most perfect way. God became a man, but not immediately a full-grown man. He humbled himself to be a little embryo and a little child developing in his mother Mary’s womb. He became a vulnerable infant, completely dependent upon Mary, Joseph, and all those around him. And he did this so that we could become a part of his family.
May the Infant Jesus, who came down to our world to bring us to the family of God, bless you and all your families in the upcoming Christmas season.
Sincerely in Christ,
Father Kipper
