This here is an image long forgot by many people's of our day. It is an image of the Blessed Mother as she prepares to give birth to the Son of God. How sweet she looks all swollen with Child. Yes, she carried the Christ Child in her womb, not a nine month old fetus. While we have these last few days to prepare for Christmas, let's do so by giving ourselves over to Him whom the Heavens could not contain; to Him who humbled Himself, assuming the form of weak and sinful man. As He found Himself well pleased to come to us only through the most Immaculate Virgin Mary, may we then go to Him through her, and ask her to permit us to hold her slumbering Infant Jesus in our own hearts as we receive Him in Holy Communion. We must shut the door of the world in our hearts if we are to open it to this Sacred Babe. "Lully Lullay thou little tiny child. Bye bye lully lullay." Sing a song to Him in your heart and comfort Him as He suffers from those who hate and mock His holy Love. What better gift to give Him than our very selves this Christmas. Throw off the shackles of secularism and ascend to the divine creche at the throne of Mary's pure and tender heart. Dear Lady of the Expectation, pray for us and bring us ever closer to this Son whom we, through you, greatly await.
Grazie mille Maria por mia bene esame!
