Pills of Faith December 25 "gave power to become children of God"

MEDITATION OF THE DAY
God on earth, God among men! This time do not promulgate his Law among the thunder, at the sound of the trumpet, on the smoking mountain, in the darkness of a terrifying storm (Ex 19,16ss), but in a sweet and peaceful way he entertains himself with his brothers, in a human body . God in the flesh! ... How can divinity dwell in the flesh? In the same way that fire inhabits iron, not abandoning the place where it burns, but communicating. In fact, the fire does not throw itself into the iron, it remains in its place and communicates its power to it. So it has not diminished at all, but fully fills the iron to which it communicates. In the same way God, the Word, who "lived among us", did not come out of himself. "The Word made flesh" was not subject to change; the sky was not deprived of what it contained, however the earth welcomed in its bosom the one who is in the heavens.

Grant that this mystery permeates you: God is in the flesh to kill the death that is hidden in it ... when "in fact the grace of God appeared, bringing salvation for all men" (Tt 2,11), when "he arose the sun of justice "(Mal 3,20:1), when" death was swallowed up for victory "(15,54 Cor 2,11:12) because she could no longer coexist with real life. O depth of the goodness and love of God for men! We glory with the shepherds, we dance with the choirs of the angels, because "today a savior was born, who is Christ the Lord" (Lk XNUMX: XNUMX-XNUMX).

"God, the Lord is our light" (Ps 118,27), not in his aspect of God, not to frighten our weakness, but in his aspect of servant, to give freedom to those who were condemned to slavery. Who has a heart so sleepy and indifferent that it does not rejoice, exult and spread joy for this event? It is a common feast for all creation. Everyone must participate, nobody can be ungrateful. Let us also raise our voices to sing our joy!

GIACULATORIA OF THE DAY
O God, Savior Crucified, inflame me with love, faith and courage for the salvation of the brothers.

PRAYER OF THE DAY
O Baby Jesus, I turn to you and I ask you for your Holy Mother to assist me in this need (to express your desire), since I firmly believe that your Divinity can help me. I hope with confidence to obtain your holy grace. I love you with all my heart and with all the strength of my soul. I sincerely regret my sins and I beg you, good Jesus, to give me the strength to overcome them. I take the firm resolution never to be offended again, and I offer myself to you with the disposition to suffer rather than displease you. By now, I want to serve you faithfully. For your love, or divine baby Jesus, I will love my neighbor as myself. O Child Jesus full of power, I beg you again, assist me in this circumstance (repeat your desire), give me the grace to possess you eternally with Mary and Joseph in heaven and to adore you with the holy angels. So be it
