Christmas is a mystery of purity from any point of view. Join me as we consider what is at the HEART of the celebration of the Nativity of the Lord. How Christmas reminds us that “God is with us,” he is the Emmanuel, and he is the one who saves us. Therefore, we are never alone, because God descended into this world and took our human flesh so us to be near us, and bring us back to himself. Indeed, salvation is from above, from God, from Heaven. We can’t save ourselves by our own strength. May our Lord be born in your heart this Christmas!
