“We can imagine the awe which the Magi experienced before the child in swaddling clothes. Only faith enabled them to recognize in the face of that child the King whom they were seeking, the God to whom the star had guided them. In him, crossing the abyss between the finite and the infinite, the visible and the invisible, the Eternal entered time, the Mystery became known by entrusting himself to us in the frail body of a small child.”
– Pope Benedict XVI


We are not just celebrating a day because it makes us feel good. We are not just honoring a baby, because he is cute. The feast day we call Christmas, is one of the most important days in our salvation! This is not just a cute little baby. This is the man who will save us from sin and take us to eternal paradise. Do not get wrapped up in the “warm and fuzzy” feelings of Christmas. Like the Magi, never lose site of the Christ child. He is truly amazing. He is your Savior.
