Wonder of Wonders
Fr. Al Demos, December 16, 2018
Coming from the Glory of the Father;
Being born in a cave in accepting our human nature;
Nurtured in a manger while being adored;
This Child is born Who will transform and transfigure the universe!
From the heights of the Glory of God, to the depths of the humble surroundings of an open cave, this Child will carry the weight of the sins of the world, all in order to allow humanity to leave the depths of sin, and to arise to share in the glorious energies of the Presence of Almighty God.
What a wonder! What a glorious event! This is what Christmas is all about!
It is the narrative of God’s wondrously immeasurable love for humanity! How can one comprehend the immense wonder of this historic and world-changing, life-changing event?
God, from the heights of the heavens, comes humbly to the most abject place on earth to be born in human flesh! In so doing He encompasses, includes and enfolds each and every human soul ever born and ever to be born within His loving embrace!
From this point to His Passion, Death, Resurrection and Divine Ascension His holiness and purity of life would enlighten and transfigure the entire universe…all because of God’s love for humanity that soars beyond our human comprehensive abilities.
Oh wonder of wonders and glory of glories, how far beyond magnificent is God!
“Glory to God in the Highest…and peace on earth to men of good will!”
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
