Christ came into the world, offering His entire life to His Father, from infancy to death. In the Mass, that same Christ-child, at Christmas, offered Himself and His life to the Father, for the Father's glory. Christ gave glory to God at every moment of His earthly existence, and still offers praise to Him from our midst today.

Our life should be offered to God, entirely, wholeheartedly; for His service and glory. This is what Christ did on earth.

We can meet Christ in the Blessed Sacrament on the altar; in His Person and His Presence, we can touch every stage of Christ's life.

The best mediator for men in trouble is another man. The very best is the God-man, Jesus Christ: He surpasses all others by His Divine Love, combined with His human cry from the depths of the pit which is human estrangement and suffering.

We can offer up our sufferings in union with Jesus in His Passion, to comfort Him, and to help other souls. Every suffering in our lives can be offered up, united with Jesus in that same type of suffering in His own life: our fear united to His in Gethsemane; our being misunderstood, with Jesus deserted by His Apostles; our grief, with Jesus weeping for Lazarus; our fear of evil forces, with Jesus being tempted by Satan.

When Christ is Really Present before us, in the Holy Sacrifice, we are present to His entire life, which is "in" Him now.

One who loves and serves Christ can 'touch' every moment of Christ's life, and can share even His journeys across the wilderness.

Though Divine, Christ is truly man, and delights in comforting us, His relations, responding immediately to our sincere prayers.

Christ's Light shone out, during His life on earth. From Heaven, the Father gazed upon a selfless, loving Man-God.

When Christ was hanging on the Cross in torment He was aware of all human tragedies from the beginning to the end of life - including the sufferings of those on 9/11. God does not look on impassively as mankind suffers; on the contrary, the Son of God came down to earth to share our sufferings, even to die. When Christ rose from the dead, He made a way to Heaven for all who would follow Him.

Christ prayed to the Father, in His earthly life: prayer from one Divine Person to another, equal in majesty. The reciprocal love blazing out between them is the Holy Spirit: a torrent of love so fiery and radiant that no sinful creature could have borne the sight. Only in Heaven can we see it, in its fullness.

Christ descended a great distance to join us in our world, yet He had the joy of being with a Mother who, though not divine, was pure and holy. It was fitting that she was lifted, body and soul, out of our sinful world, when her work was done, so that she might 'rest' eternally with Him Who had 'rested' with her.
