3rd - The Birth of Jesus

Joseph was filled with joy to see the splendor of the night, but with sorrow to see Jesus born in such poverty.
Not a place for Jesus to lay His head--in a manger at birth, His head on a cross at His death--both bare wood.
He showed us the way, in total submission to the will of the Father. He loved us so much that He was born a human, God-made-man.
What the birth of this baby, the child Jesus, did to change the world for all time!
This is Jesus, the Son of God, come to free the world of its sins.
He came as a little baby. He was born of Mary in the little town of Bethlehem.
This is how it is with Jesus today: there is no blare of trumpets, no roll of drums. Jesus comes quietly at every Mass.
The only blare of trumpets and roll of drums are in our hearts.
If you are not aware of Christ truly present in the Eucharist, you miss the big event.
Jesus, the same Jesus who was born in Bethlehem, comes to us in our hearts.
