Saturday, Third Week of Advent


"See How He Comes" (Song of Songs)

I must Draw to my attention "The Manner" in which our Beloved Lord Enters The Very World that He Created.

Rather than being Preceeded by an Earthly Army, He is Herold by Myriads of Angelic Hosts, who Bow Humbly to The Mystery.

Rather than being Born in a wealthy Palace, He Chooses to come to us as The Poorest of The Poor.

Rather than being born into Aristocracy, His Followers are Shepherds, who are considered the refuse of Humanity.

Instead of surrounding Himself with Elegance and Worldly Comfort, we find Him lying on a bed of Straw in a Stable.

"Why?" Is the question that I must ask myself, why debase Himself so completely, if not to make Himself "Approachable" to every Status and ilk.

Who could fear such a King? Why would one Hesitate to embrace with their whole Heart So Magnanimous a Divine Being?

Let us Approach this little Baby that has come to Die in order to Redeem us Sinners. Let us Implore His Mercy, so that, in Humble Recognition of His Dominion over us, we might become Worthy to Rest in His Divine Presence for all Eternity.

God Bless You
