THIS IS THE DAY THIS IS D-DAY

This is the day God dreamt about. No wonder we sing with tears of joy in our eyes: “O Holy Night”. This is the Day God dreamt about from eternity. Yes, He did know from eternity; before He created the Universe, before He created the world, before He created Man … that the first Pact, the first Promise was going to be broken by Man, before He had created Man.

I say, could He not forgotten about creating Man ? Could He not have laid aside His plans ? He certainly could. BUT, He could not hold back His love for Man. There lies the difference. God can do anything with the exception of controlling, holding back His love towards Man.
Before He created Man, God knew … or rather ‘knows’ from eternity that Man is going to turn his back on the Creator. From eternity God decided to create a “Holy Night”, a ’Night’ to save humanity ‘that was pining in sin and error’.

We have to keep in mind that in every human being there is the ‘breath’ of God Himself, the ‘ruah’, the ‘spirit’, the ‘soul’. Can a true genuine mum stay away, separated from her babe, even the baby can’t live without the warmth, comfort and love of the mother. That is the ‘thrill of hope’ and the reason why the soul rejoices. That is why whenever we sing that Carol we have tears running down our cheek, for we can feel, though without seeing that ‘yonder breaks a new and glorious morn’.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, let us ALL, ‘fall on our knees and hear within us the angel voices’, and the night becomes ‘a night divine, a night when Christ was born’.

Let us not feel ashamed to have tears running down our cheeks; for that is a sign that the soul the breath of God, has taken over the material and is closer to God at that very moment. I never read, sing or listen to that Carol without watering my eyes. Believe me, at THIS very moment, the radio is on and … no coincidence that wonderful Carol is being aired. Thank you, Lord for the joy and Peace.

How true, ‘our hearts glow standing by His cradle’ and ‘led by the light of faith’. No Christmas can be Christmas without remembering and celebrating HIS glorious Birth on earth. Who has never experienced this heavenly Joy, does not know what Heaven is like. Yes celebrating a Catholic Christmas is a fore-taste of Heaven, just like taking part in the Holy Mass.

“O Holy Night”, what new-born babe was ever visited by ‘wise men’ and presented with gifts ? Search the History of the World, and you will find none. It happened only once … and it will not happen again in the History of humanity. It was the ‘Babe of Betlehem’ Who brought us a message of ‘love and peace’. ‘ Chains shall He break for the slave’
‘And in His Name all oppression shall cease’.

Let us All fall on our knees, sing, pray and shout “Joy to the world, for Christ is born”.

Heartfelt Greetings and Wishes, TO ALL; to those who follow my postings during the year, my Facebook friends, and even those who are not registered as my friends, a “Very Blessed Christmas”, and may each day of your life be a Christmas Day. May the Babe of Betlehem fill us ALL with His love and Peace throughout our days, overshadowed by His Blessings.

May we all discern and come to realise God’s Divine Plan for each and every one, once we realise His Plan for us, let us embrace it with both arms and accept it as God’s Gift to us to lead us to Sainthood. Meet you in Heaven.
