It was the birth of Jesus of Nazareth which brought *'good news of a great joy ... to all ... people." Even our calendar proclaims the good news, as it marks the number of
years since Jesus' birth to Mary and Joseph, God's chosen servants for this special mis
sion. Without Him we would not even have the words that are most common in our vocabu
lary. Time is divided and ordered by the movement of the planets which in the beginning Christ helped God the Father create and syncronize into the order that we call universe
and over which He now has all authority, administering and ruling with benevolence,
charity and compassion.
May this season offer an opportunity for you, dear reader, to consecrate, or reconse
crate, your life to Him without whom it is impossible to receive salvation and see God.
And may you sing with the angels: Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace
good will among men.
