Wishing you grace filled Christmas and God's plentiful blessing for the coming New Year

Here we are kneeling around the manger in Bethlehem, pondering the Christ child lying in front of us. He is surrounded, as we are, by the countless problems, sufferings and sins of our world.

The little Jesus is facing all of these. He is not teaching yet, nor preaching nor admonishing. Although he did all of these later, yet, he solved all our problems and answered all our questions by his very life.

He managed to do so by his total surrender to his heavenly Father and by his love for us, human beings.
