I hope this New Year will be one full of faith, hope, and love. I am praying much for the Bishops all over the world, but especially for the American Bishops that they will really listen to the people and enter into the process of synodality and be ready to change what needs to be changed.
Help us to see that, like
You, we are undergoing the pangs of new birth,
–like You, we are not finished,
Our work together, You and I, O God, is to become whole and complete,
You in me and I in You.
Christmas is the feast of
the whole person,
–the whole creation,
–the whole cosmos
-celebrating the wonder of new birth.
The universe is Theotokos,
–God-bearing.
Everything alive is seeking You,
–longing for You
Christmas is the celebration of love:
In love with love and through love, You and me and all fragile creatures-are
being born into a new future together, a new reality.
This new reality is the Christ; the humanity of Jesus is our humanity.
Awaken in me the truth of Christmas: You and I are bound together in love.
Together, You and I and all creation, we are the Christ;
And only through us can your dream for the earth be realized.
Joy to the future fullness of love!
–Ilia Delio, OSF
