Giving birth is an ordinary process for women all over the world – maybe for some it is more vulnerable and risky.
Through the birth of this baby the world would be turned on its head,
God enters irrevocably and extraordinarily into human history to show the way of God in the world. The ‘Good News’ is that God continues to be with us in our joys and struggles.
Our names for God help us as we struggle to name our experiences of the sacramental mystery we encounter in both the intimate and the overwhelming mysteries, many of us choose to name in English (or our mother tongues), as God.
Life all about choices. Our choices define us. Paul also made choices that had dramatic effects.
Jesus knows no barriers of age, culture, wealth or religious status. He is in charge and his timing is perfect.
We can come to him anywhere, at any time, with our needs for ourselves or for others.
Our requests can be public or asked quietly and privately.
When we seem to be “at the end of of the rope” Jesus says, “Don’t be afraid, only believe”. Jesus gives hope to all.
Finding peace and calmness in the troubles that surround us, is not easy. Fear is often present.
However if we practice a consciousness of Christ in our lives, everyday, this will bring peace and calmness so we can recognise there is no need to be afraid.
God is always present whether we are conscious of it or not.
Our actions will follow from where our heart leads us to look and see, and what we think about.
What we focus on and what we fill our time and our minds with has a direct effect on what our
instant responses to people and situations will be.
