“… In the Son of the Virgin, ‘wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger’ (Lk 2:12), we acknowledge and adore ‘the Bread which came down from heaven’ (Jn 6:41, 51), the Redeemer who came among us in order to bring life to the world. [] Bethlehem! The city where Jesus was born in fulfilment of the Scriptures, in Hebrew means ‘house of bread.’ It was there that the Messiah was to be born, the One who would say of Himself: ‘I AM the Bread of Life’ (Jn 6:35, 48). In Bethehem was born the One who, under the sign of broken bread, would leave us the memorial of his Pasch. On this Holy Night, adoration of the Child Jesus becomes Eucharistic adoration. …”

“… With a Christ-like attitude, every work in which we find ourselves is a work of service. We are stewards only of the many gifts God entrusts to us and which God intends to be used in His Service. Meeting the needs of others means being present to others in many different ways.[] Christ’s teaching is not meant to be a formula for worldly success. It involves drudgery and ingratitude. We, the Baptized are called to continue Christ’s work of service so that Jesus can give His Love to others through us. We all have opportunities to serve those around us …. The occasions are limitless. To be a Disciple means being open to what God asks of us at any given moment, even in very small things …. By putting on the Mind of Christ in the Service of others we become Transfigured in Christ and even in this life begin to know the Peace and Joy of the Kingdom.”

“… The source of all love, of course, is Divine Love, Trinitarian Love. God Who is Love could not contain that love within the Trinitarian Unity. It burst forth into a creation, every part of which God pronounced very good. God even made creatures in his own image and likeness. The whole of creation is meant to mirror and give glory to all the perfections in the creator: unity, beauty, truth, goodness, holiness, power and majesty. …”
