Christmas
is God’s reprogramming of human hearts!
When I visited a
parishioner who was recuperating from an open heart surgery, he said humorously
that he now has a pure heart with all the
impurities removed. And he alluded to the “beatitudes” and said, “Since I have
a pure heart I can see God” (Matthew 5:8). Yes, Christmas is the Creator’s
decision to reprogram human hearts to its
originally intended purity. When the human hearts lost the vision of
God (Psalm 14:1) and all
its inclination was only to evil (Gen 6:5), God Almighty decides to “firewall” human heart from all
the possible “viral attacks” that corrupt it. Christmas is the launch of that eternal firewall that grants one the unfading
privilege of sonship and daughtership of God. Jesus is that mysterious
incarnation who draws all to God through him (John 12:32). Christmas is a
search of God for those people whose hearts are open to God. “The Lord looks
down from heaven on humankind to see if there are any who are wise who seek
after God (Ps 14:2). The recovery
software that our Lord’s incarnation brings to us is nothing but the love of God. Christmas drenches
us in the rain of divine love so that we may have the power to love the Lord our God with all our heart
and love our neighbor as ourselves (Matthew 22:37).
We wish you a meaningful celebration of X’mas that in fact imbibes
the true spirit of Incarnation.
Merry
and Blessed Christmas!
