Conceived by the Spirit –Born of the Virgin The God who made the universe has hands too small to enfold the heads of the cattle. The God of infinite independence must depend on his mother’s milk for survival. Shepherds and kings adore the incarnate God. We come with silence, faith, and awe. This is not a myth or a symbol. It is a historical event, a saving truth lies at the heart of our faith. Scripture reveals this to us. We adore and respond in faith. In Jesus Christ, a divine person shows us a human face. We see his glory. We can now focus our attention in this special event on Christmas. For the last Christmas of his life, St. Francis of Assisi moved to a cave on a hillside opposite the town of Greccio. He and the brothers transformed the cave into a Bethlehem scene. They lined the cave with straw, installed a crib, and brought an altar for Mass. At midnight the people of Greccio came in procession, their lanterns looking like stars streaming across the valley. They sang the ancient carols of Umbria, echoing the Gloria of the angels. Arrived at the cave, they were charmed by the scene. An ox and an ass flanked the empty crib. Mass began. At homily time Francis stood by the crib to talk about the birth of Jesus. Awe engulfed the listeners. Amid a golden light they saw Francis into the empty crib and lift out a baby and cradle him in his arms, saying, “Behold the Savior of the world.” After Mass, Francis disappeared. When the morning star appeared they found him absorbed in prayer, his face turned toward Bethlehem. And that is how the custom of having a Christmas crib began. (Alfred McBride, O. Praem.

This well known affirmation by the prophet Isaiah gives us a taste of proximity of that marvelous, stupendous day which will be the ‘dies natalis’ of Jesus. It was foretold of the prophets and proclaimed throughout the whole of Sacred Scriptures that He would be the one who would fulfil and bring them to completion. Our God will be incarnated and born due to the generous willingness of the ‘Virgin’ who, from the very beginning of time, was chosen to be the mother of the Savior. Wake up, therefore, because the birth of the Lord is almost at hand. Let us go to meet Him in His Glory; to listen to Him, to love Him and to follow Him!

Por favor, no olvide que el Espíritu Santo le guía, a la Campaña de Capital. El Dios que hizo el universo tiene manos muy pequeñas para agarrar las cabezas del ganado. El Dios de infinito poder debe depender de la leche de su madre para poder sobrevivir. Pastores y reyes adoran el Dios encarnado. Nosotros venimos en silencio, fe y veneración. Esto no es un mito o un símbolo. Esto es un evento histórico, una verdad salvadora que descansa en el corazón de nuestra fe. Las Sagradas Escrituras nos revelan esto. Nosotros lo adoramos y respondemos en la fe. En Jesucristo una divina persona nos muestra una cara humana. Nosotros vemos su gloria. Nosotros ahora podemos centrar nuestra atención en este especial evento de Navidad. En la última celebración de Navidad, San Francisco de Asís se traslado a una cueva ubicada en la montaña al otro lado del pueblo de Greccio. San Francisco y sus hermanos hicieron una representación de Belén. Ellos colocaron el pasto de los animales y un establo, como también armaron un altar para la Misa. A la medianoche la gente de Greccio vino en procesión y sus linternas parecían estrellas moviéndose a través del valle. Ellos entonaban antiguos cantos de Umbría, que hacían recordar la gloria de los ángeles. Cuando ellos arrimaron a la cueva quedaron encantados con el pesebre. Un burro y un buey fueron colocados en el establo. Se dio inicio a la misa. En la homilía Francisco estaba en el establo hablando acerca del nacimiento de Jesús. Todos emocionados escuchaban atentos. Todos observaron una luz en medio donde estaba Francisco en el establo cuando el tomo el niño Jesús en sus brazos desde la cuna diciendo, “Este es el Salvador del Mundo”. Después de la misa Francisco se había ido. Cuando empezaba la mañana ellos encontraron a Francisco en profunda oración mirando hacia el Belén. Según la costumbre estos son los orígenes del Establo, la gruta, el pesebre de Navidad. (Alfred McBride, O. Praem. Lo Básico de la Fe. Una Guía de Catequesis de la Iglesia Católica. Ed.
