The Vatican Lobby will be taking a break until after the New Year unless major events dictate otherwise. In the meantime, I want to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
This is the time when we reflect on the simplicity of the Christmas story. God became flesh, and dwelt among us. His purpose? To demonstrate his love through death; to reconcile a lost race with its Creator through the shedding of his blood; and to prepare the hearts of men to one day receive the full coming of his earthly kingdom.
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven, given among men, whereby we must be saved." Acts 4:12.
I pray we all turn our attention to that night long ago, and ponder why that baby was born in the first place.
See you all in 2010!
