God Is Here

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.—John 1:14 (NIV)
As St. Josemaría Escrivá beautifully expressed, “God is here. This truth should fill our lives, and every Christmas should be for us a new and special meeting with God when we allow His light and grace to enter deep into our soul.” Let Christmas be a time of renewal and a deeper connection with God. Open your heart to His presence, allowing His light and grace to transform you from within.
Loving Father, I am grateful for the gift of Your presence in my life. May I carry the renewed strength of our connection into the days and years ahead.
