Jesus Christ is true God, who took on our human nature, having the humility and goodness to come amongst us as a mere infant.

Jesus Christ is true God, who took on our human nature, having the humility and goodness to come amongst us as a mere infant.

The Son of God was willing to descend from heaven, to die amongst sinners, to save us. His Father in Heaven prepared an earthly Mother for Jesus, to give him consolation in His exile; meanwhile, the Father could 'see' all the future saints who would come to him, through Jesus.

There is only one Way across the dark abyss which separates earth from Heaven. Christ has made that Way, through His Incarnation, and from all that followed in His earthly life.

There have been may attempts made by men to reach Heaven. Everyone deserves to hear the good news that God has revealed to mankind, in and through His Divine Son, Jesus Christ, Who has made a Way for all to follow: a safe and sure Way to Heaven.

Since God has descended from Heaven to earth, to humble Himself, to save us, we ought not to show disrespect by missing Mass, or ignoring His Presence in the Blessed Sacrament

Christ made an amazing 'descent' from Heaven, as if across a vast distance, leaving the glory and holiness of Heaven to become man, to live amongst us, to die and rise again to save us from our sins, and to open Heaven's 'door' to all who believe in Him.

At the 'heart' of the great fire of the Godhead stands the figure of Christ, like a second Adam. Christ stripped Himself of glory to descend to our sinful world: hence the Father's gift of an Immaculate Mother, to welcome Christ, and to be his 'home' in exile.

It is right and necessary that we 'children of God' encourage others too to live in union with God through Baptism, and to persevere in love to the end. It is God's wish that when we are purified we enter Heaven as 'fire entering fire'. In God, there will be no more suffering or pain. Christ came down to earth, sharing our life, to offer us a share in His life.

It's as if there stretched a long spiral ladder from heaven down to earth. This was to show the great 'height' from which Christ descended when He came down to earth to be born of Mary, having left behind His glory.

Christ came to earth, to be born in poverty, for our sakes; yet we need to feast as well as to fast in His Church. We feast on His birthday, for example, in preparation for the Eternal feasting which takes place in Heaven, in an eternal celebration of His Love.

Christ came a long way to save us: all the way from Heaven, to die for us, and to be the Bridge to glory that everyone is invited to find and cross. Sadly, many people refuse to believe in Him.

People throughout the world need to hear the amazing news about Jesus Christ, and the whole plan of salvation. God came down to earth from Heaven: that is the single most important thing for people to know. He came, therefore He loves us. He spoke, therefore we should listen and obey.

Christ our God Who reigns in Eternal Glory, is Really Present in the Blessed Sacrament in church, and in the homes of the sick who receive Holy Communion. It is fitting that an 'altar' is prepared, with candles and a clean cloth and a crucifix, where the pyx may be placed.

The life of God is so awesome and glorious that even the Saints in Heaven, who gaze towards God in wonder, do not fully understand the Holy Trinity. That triune life was only revealed to us because Jesus, the Son of God, descended from Heaven, to tell us of God's love and God's inner life.

In becoming man, the Son of God chose to share our life on earth, and our sufferings - though He is without sin. And He sacrificed His life so that we could be freed from sin and from the fear of death.

Mary, the First Tabernacle: The Lord explained that since His Mother Mary was the first 'tabernacle', as she carried Christ within herself, it would be good for someone to sculpt a figure of Mary, with tabernacle doors placed where her heart would be: the heart which welcomed Him from the first moment.

We are right to honour Mary, the Blessed Virgin, through whom the Father gave us His Son, and all the graces we receive in the Church, especially in the Holy Eucharist. We would be right to surmount a 'Mary-style' tabernacle with an image of Christ in glory.

Christmas is 'about' the entry into our world of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, our Saviour, in all His power, Divinity and holiness - though He hid His glory for most of His life on earth, and in fact began His life on earth as an infant.
