Catholic Mass Of The Day! MASS DURING THE DAY Thursday 25th December 2014 ~ THE NATIVITY OF THE LORD Isa 52:7-10 (Your God is King!) Ps 98: 1-6 (God’s salvation) Heb 1:1-6 (The radiant light) John 1:1-18 HE LIVED AMONG US By taking on our humanity, Jesus has shown us that we can be divine. He has shown us how far we can go even in our humanity. We can love more, dare more, believe more, and be more. Nothing is now outside the scope of our humanity which after the birth of Jesus is no longer a limitation but always an advantage. This is why according to the letter to the Hebrews, God, who spoke of old only through prophets, messengers or messages, has finally and definitively spoken in and through a Son. This is also why the oracle of Isaiah composed towards the end of the exile and which announces the return of the exiles to Jerusalem and which announces the return of the exile to Jerusalem finds its fulfilment. Captivity and limitations have come to an end. Now only freedom and limitlessness are real. Thus, Christmas is not merely the celebration of a historical birth or a birth that took place over two thousand years ago. It is about becoming conscious of who we really are as human beings. It is the celebration of the transformation of limit to limitlessness, of selfishness to selflessness, of bondage and fear to freedom and unconditional love. ~ Reflection on the Holy Gospel according to John 1:1-18 youtu.be/SbKtdZrVDkI?list=PLbIwWtTe1RjsA_hnVsB0-x4mykwc6K8dC
