While they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn. Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock. 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. Luke 2:6-11
For a child is born to us, a son is given us; upon his shoulder dominion rests. They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero, Father-Forever, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:5
Jesus came as a baby because babies are irresistible and adorable. Let us gaze at the baby Jesus in the crib. His arms are stretched out to us. He is calling us. "Come to Me." May the baby Jesus come into your heart and fill you with His love and peace this Christmas season. We entrust all the intentions we receive through this ministry to Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
