A Saviour is born to us! Let us rejoice!<\/strong><\/p>\n

“A Saviour is born to us!
\nThe whole universe was plunged into darkness;
\nThis is the one who will be the light.
\nThe human race was a slave;
\nThis is its deliverer.
\nWe are in him a new creature;
\nhis heritage is our heritage;
\nGod is our Father as he is his.
\nRejoice, O earth,
\nbecause the Lord has comforted his people
\nand that he will have mercy on his poor.
\nMan\u2019s thoughts are not God\u2019s thoughts,
\nand the more Jesus Christ humbles himself, the more He proves that He is the Saviour whom we must wait for.”<\/p>\n

Jean-Marie de la\u00a0 Mennais (Sermon on the Feast of Christmas, S II, 482-484)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Jesus, the Son of God, the Saviour of the world, was born for us. He was born in Bethlehem of a virgin, fulfilling the ancient prophecies. The virgin is called Mary, her husband Joseph.
\nIt is the humble people, filled with hope in the goodness of God, who welcome and recognize Jesus. Thus, the Holy Spirit enlightened the shepherds of Bethlehem, who rushed to the grotto and worshiped the Child. The Holy Spirit then guided the elderly, Simeon and Anna, the humble, into the Temple of Jerusalem, and they recognised in Jesus the Messiah.\u00bb (Father de la Mennais)<\/em><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s have that poor heart
\nLet\u2019s keep the heart simple, small\u2026
\nHAPPY AND HOLY CHRISTMAS to all.<\/strong><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
