Initial Prayer
It is with joy that we announce the message of Christmas: God became man, He came to live among us.
God is not far away: He is close. Furthermore, He is “Emmanuel”, God-with-us. He is not a stranger: He has a face, the face of Jesus.
Let us pray that this Christmas the face of Jesus may be contemplated by all families and by all men on earth.
Day 8
“The grace of God, in fact, was the source of salvation for all men.” (Tit 2, 11)
God’s grace, rich in kindness and tenderness, is no longer hidden. It is manifested to all men in Bethlehem.
On Christmas night, a newborn, the Son of the Virgin Mary is the “manifestation” of the salvation for all sinners. The Child is called Jesus, which means “God saves”.
Closing Prayer
In the silence of that night in Bethlehem, Jesus was born and lovingly welcomed.
Who is ready to open their heart this Christmas?
Who watches, in the night of doubt and uncertainty, with a heart awake and in prayer?
Who awaits for the dawn of the new day, keeping the flame of faith lit?
Who has time to listen to His words and be fascinated by His love?
Christ comes to bring light to us. He comes to give us peace, too!
Yes, His message of peace is for everyone, it is for everyone who comes to offer himself as a sure hope of salvation.
