This is the day the Sun of Justice, the Dawn from on high breaks through the darkness left by the sin of our first parents. Humbly, in a stable the Light of the world appears as a totally dependent infant. He is first worshipped by the lowly shepherds, no strangers to darkness as they keep watch of their sheep around the clock. They recognize and welcome the light as the angels sing "Glory to God in the Highest and Peace to those on whom his favor rests." (Lk 2:14).
During this final day of Christmas preparation, might we let the LIGHT shine on our activity to bless what we do, to give us a few moments to reflect on what Jesus means to the world, to us? As we set up our Christmas lights (if we haven't done so already), might we not thank God for sending us the true Light....might we ask how we might be lights for the family and others tonight, tomorrow, and beyond the Christmas season? Let us keep it simple, remembering the stable and shepherds and the profound humility and sincerity of the Magi. A pure,grateful and humble heart shines as bright as the star of Bethlehem. Let this be our gift to him who breaks through the darkness.
