What does Christmas offer to the reality of our lives? The reality of holidays and people’s lives is not always as happy or merry as we’ve hoped. But amidst all that, the invitation is to be with Jesus and go through whatever the reality of Christmas is with Him. The Lord desires to be born even in the mess of our lives or hearts, and we are invited to come closer to Jesus during Christmas.

Christ the Bridegroom (Lent 2024)
How does a bridegroom love his bride? That is how Jesus loves each one of us. He meets us wherever we are in life to be our beloved and for us to be His. The Lord meets us in the desert, our place of poverty, where He betroths us to Him, and He betroths Himself to us. In this way, Jesus, as the bridegroom, reveals a quality of love, the way God loves.
