+ Today we recall the birth of
the herald, tomorrow night we begin the celebration of the
Nativity of the One Heralded! John the Baptist was the last and greatest
prophet because he was the one to point to Christ and say: Look, behold, there he is, he is the One who we have been waiting for
to be our liberator, our redeemer and our friend! Tomorrow night as we
place the Christ Child in our mangers we too can point and say: Look, behold, the Lamb of God, born into our
world to take away our sins! Today at this Mass we revel in the fact that
we are privileged to be called even daily to the supper of [that] Lamb!
May
our final preparations for Christmas be done now in quiet, hopeful joy and
anticipation of the tiny one will come to those who know where to look to find
him – in the inner recesses of their hearts!
Lift us your heads and see; your
redemption is near at hand.
