Love Come Down

If we look in the right places and with the “right” eyes, we will find Love all around us. Although we cannot explain the mystery of the Nativity, we can see its lasting effects in this season and all year long. Who doesn’t find their own innocence and hope in the story of the Babe? Who isn’t moved by the faith of the Magi, who came from afar only on the promise of a prophecy, bearing gifts of great value? Who doesn’t find humility and joy in the shepherds as they came to see the Mystery? Even the animals of the manger kept watch in silence over the young mother, the symbol of love and faithful obedience to Spirit.
