Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Thursday, December 25th, 2008Ave Maria Meditations
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men of good will.” (Lk. 2:14)
MEDITATION At Bethlehem the angels announced two things: Glory to God and peace to men; the one corresponds to the other. No one glorifies God as much as that little Babe lying on the straw. He alone, being the eternal Word, can give God the perfect, infinite praise that is worthy of Him. And no one more than Jesus, our Savior, brings peace to men; making reparation for sin, He reconciles man with his Creator and establishes a new covenant between them: the Creator will become Father, and man, will become a son. |

The Christ Child: The Grace of Christmas

Ave Maria Meditations
 The Grace of Christmas
Jesus speaks: I was born, born for you in a cave in December, in the cold, homeless, in the middle of a winter’s night, in the unheard-of poverty of the extremely poor, in solitude, in an abandonment unique in this world. What, my children, do I want you to learn from my birth? To believe in My love, to believe that I have loved you until now. To hope in Me, who have loved you so dearly. I want to teach you to despise the world, which was so unimportant to Me. I want to teach you poverty, lowliness, solitude, humility, penance. I want to teach you to love me, for I was not content with giving Myself to the world in the Incarnation, sanctifying it invisibly in the visitation; no, that did not satisfy My love. From the moment of My birth onward, I showed myself to you, giving myself wholly to you, putting myself in your hands. From then on, you could touch Me, hear Me, possess Me, serve Me, console Me. |

Dec 23 – St. Pio Daily – By Humiliations We are Exalted
Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008
Ave Maria!– December’s Theme: Humility “You must be submissive,and in order to achieve this, consider how the Son of God abased Himself in His Incarnation and in His mortal life, especially in His painful death, so that He could say with the Prophet: I am reduced to nothing. Let us always bear in mind, moreover, that it was precisely this humiliation which led to His honor and glory, that by His example He confirmed His own words: He who humbles himself will be exalted.” |
