This Christmas come and find God's generous donation, the Christ child as the Lord lies in the manger. In gratitude, give all you can. Merry Christmas.

 The third week of Advent approaches with a call to rejoice. It is one that assures us of the promise: God is with us. Is this not true before Christmas? He indeed is with us, even now in the hustle and bustle; boredom and daydreaming of our lives. So then, what is new concerning Christmas? If there is nothing new, then why celebrate? Why put up the wreath, the tree, the poinsettia or any other ornament? Why dust off the nativity scene for another year? If God is with us, what is the point? Christmas is an event that promises us that what took place in space-time history was our salvation. It is assurance for us who are prone to allowing our lives to be flooded and crowded and cluttered with things that are temporal, in other words, they have no lasting worth. Christmas is about God making room for Himself in a Bethlehem cave. God the Son is hiding out. The revelation is that God is with us and it is hidden for us in the revelation between ox and donkey. This is the mystery of the manger.
