Theme: ORDER IN CONFUSION
Dear friends in Christ, N'wokafu YESU KRISTO...
Merry Christmas!
At yesterday's vigil Mass, we read about the genealogy of Jesus Christ (Mt. 1:1-25). The family history of the incarnate Son of God is long, crooked, and filled with rather strange people. However, we notice an apparent order at the end of everything after Jesus was born. The grouping of the generations and the arrangements of the events appeared perfect. It was as if the birth of Jesus brought order to the messy events that preceded His birth.
Beloved, the birth of Jesus brings order to our confused and messy world. In the ever-growing uncertainty of life, the Christmas message comes alive again with the hope of order and meaning.
The Christmas events (Nativity) give meaning to our confusions and assure us that every chaos of life will have meaning when God enters. It is all about God arranging chaotic lives and situations back to order.
PRAYER
Lord God, by the birth of Jesus Christ, You entered the history of men. May Your coming continue to bring order and meaning to our chaotic lives. Amen.
May God bless you.
