I have been thinking of miracles all day today. With Christmas Day 2021 nearing its completion, that seems very fitting. As I was watching one of my priests consecrate the bread and wine at Mass, I was dumbfounded by that miracle. Then I glanced to the left, and just a few feet in front of me to the beautiful Nativity set up and saw the greatest miracle the world will ever know. God incarnate sent in the form of a little baby to save us from ourselves. I don’t pretend to be capable of comprehending a love that grand.
The extraordinary miracles that we or others around us experience are no less important than the day to day miracles that are seemingly small in comparison. But we must never forget that the fierce and never ending love from God in Heaven above is the greatest miracle of all.
Merry Christmas!
