Karl Rahner Now God says to us What He has already said to the earth as a whole Through His grace-filled birth: I am there. I am with you. I am your life. I am your time. I am the gloom of your daily routine. Why will you not hear it? I weep your tears - pour yours out to me. I am your joy. Do not be afraid to be happy; ever since I wept, joy is the standard of living That is really more suitable than the anxiety and grief of those who have no hope. I am the blind alley of all your paths, For when you no longer know how to go any farther, Then you have reached me, Though you are not aware of it. I am in your anxiety, for I have shared it. I am in the prison of your finiteness, For my love has made me your prisoner. I am in your death, For today I began to die with you, because I was born, And I have not let myself be spared any real part of this experience. I am present in your needs; I have suffered them and they are now transformed. I am there. I no longer go away from this world. Even if you do not see me now, I am there. My love is unconquerable. I am there. It is Christmas. Light the Candles! They have more right to exist than all the darkness. It is Christmas. Christmas that lasts forever. Amen. *We may earn a small commission on qualifying purchases through links in this post at no additional cost to you.

The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were struck with great fear. The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” When the angels went away from them to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go, then, to Bethlehem to see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us.” So they went in haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made known the message that had been told to them about this child. All who heard it were amazed by what had been told to them by the shepherds. And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as it had been told to them. *We may earn a small commission on qualifying purchases through links in this post at no additional cost to you.

When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the holy Spirit. Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly. Such was his intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her. She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,” which means “God is with us.” When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home. *We may earn a small commission on qualifying purchases through links in this post at no additional cost to you.
