The sweet story first penned by the Gospel writer drifts through the millenia, repeated on the reverent lips of countless believers: there, in a humble manger, a young mother cradles her firstborn son, wrapped in swaddling clothes, fulfilling magnificent prophecies as old as time itself. A star illuminates the skies, which resonate with the joyful sound of the angelic choir. It is He who came and we who keep the sacred story alive. In our own celebrations, may we never forget God’s greatest gift to us: His Only Begotten Son, the very Lamb of God–the lamb through which we can be made pure, fit to return to heaven and dwell with him there.”
