Let us celebrate the feast with deep holiness, humility and trust. Jesus was, is and will always be here to comfort, heal and strengthen our faith.
The first persons to give devotion to the baby Jesus were no less than the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph. Followed by the angels and shepherds. Then the Three Magis from the East.
To be aware of Him who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, we ought to follow the examples of those who had seen and heard the Holy Infant -- love, care, praise, humility and adoration. No material gifts are needed except the gift of our body and soul to Him the most high.
Many people swear by their personal experiences of how miraculous the Santo Niño is: health and wealth are mostly I've heard. But we ought not to stop there -- by devotions and thankfulness -- rather, Jesus is calling us and giving us the freedom to change our lives in alignment with God. God's life is better than living only our lives.
Where God is the future, ours is only in the present. God is eternal.
He knows our hearts and knows our paths we are taking and will be taking. This is why God always calls us to holiness and be saints since that is how He expects us to be: saints.
"Almighty God, your only Son begotten from all ages, humbled Himself as a child in Nazareth and became subject to Mary and Joseph. Grant that we may learn from this example Your Will in all things and, holding fast to the dignity of all, serve our lowly brothers and sisters with open hands and gently heart."
Pit Señor!
