The light shines in the darkness

O Holy night! The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees; O hear the Angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night, O Holy night, O night divine!

In the quiet of Bethlehem’s night, the birth of Jesus shatters the darkness of the world. Christ’s light enters the dark corners of our hearts and transforms them with love, forgiveness, and peace. Today, the light of Christ has come to dwell among us. Let us carry this light into the world.

The light has come into the world, piercing the darkness with a brilliance that cannot be overcome. In the birth of Jesus, the eternal light of God shines upon us, illuminating our hearts and guiding our steps. This light reveals the truth of God’s love, dispelling the shadows of sin, fear, and despair.

It is the light of hope for the weary, joy for the sorrowful, and peace for the restless. As the dawn of Christmas breaks, let us open our hearts to this divine light, allowing it to transform us and radiate through us, so that we, too, become beacons of Christ’s love in a world yearning for His presence.

On this holy morning, as we gather to celebrate the birth of our Savior, let us pause to reflect on the profound gift we have received. The Son of God has come to dwell among us, not as a mighty ruler but as a vulnerable child, inviting us to embrace the simplicity and humility of His love.

In His coming, our weary hearts find rest, our sins find redemption, and our souls discover their worth. With the angels, we proclaim, “Glory to God in the highest,” and with the shepherds, we hurry to the manger, bringing the gift of our faith and adoration. Let this day be a renewal of hope, a spark of joy, and a promise of peace for all of us.

Merry Christmas to each of you 🥰
