Christmas means God loves us

Dec 24, 2016

A thought by Chiara Lubich published in Citta’ Nuova in 1975

eec6effd-0857-4a1c-bdc6-c4a6ae19dda9Christmas, Christmas, how often have we celebrated you with pure joy and unmatched ardour! But  you find our hearts so frozen by the coldness of this world, that you cannot touch them as you would with your mysterious extraordinary message: GOD LOVES US, one by one and all together. This Love wrapped us round so completely that the Blessed Trinity resolved to send among us the Son of God made man, so our brief sojourn on this earth could be illuminated from now on by the Light that does not fade, and the absurdity of death in this life be transformed into a simple passing into life more full and eternal! We hope this year at least, that You, Christmas, may say to our hearts all you wish to say and find us ready, here and now to hear your voice.
