The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord. (Luke 2:10-11 NABRE)
Imagine what it was like for the shepherds to have shared in such a deep way the incarnation of the creator God, and to be invited to visit the Messiah at his birth. We are humble people, like these shepherds. We bow our heads at the name of Jesus. And what an overwhelming thing it is when we also find ourselves invited to share in the presence of our Lord, the Christ who saved us, Jesus.
Today, on this Solemnity of the Nativity of the Lord, I will seek to discover Christ in my heart—somewhere between skepticism and wonder, between mystery and faith.
