The Birth of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD... and THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, AND DWELT AMONG US" (Jn. 1.1,14). The Eternal Word was made flesh to fulfill what He promised of Old in giving us His DUE recompense with His coming - for our eyes of flesh, a most wonderful Face of a Babe; for our arms and hands of flesh, a most tender tiny Body of a Babe to hold and encompass with the most tender embrace and care we are capable of; for our breast of flesh in which is hidden our little heart, the same most tender Body to press against; and, for our lower part of body of flesh, still the same most tender Body to hold up while being caressed. This is the first wonderful call of our salvation - how our most tender "Catholic God," in contrast to the caricature of the infidel Jews and Mohammedans and of the pagans and of the separated, desires to be WHOLLY encompassed by us rational flesh in that blessed eternal embrace one day; an answer which already includes All that we could ever best desire from and for our dearest Divine Infant.
May you and your loved ones be blessed and preserved with What the good shepherds hastened to see and adore - but at a manger! WHERE THE MAINSTREAM LEAST EXPECT TO FIND this Hidden Love Divine. A most blessed Christmas season!
Our dearest Divine Infant is seeking those who would like to spend most genereously their lifetime in attending to His care and service under the sacred apron of our Immaculate Mother of Carmel and so teach others the beginning of that blessed eternal embrace. Postulancy starts in January.
