Mt 2:13-15, 19-23
The gospel comes in timely for me. My family has been just plagued with a bad news regarding life and death in the light of Christmas. That is ironic with the birth of Christ brings such bad news to my family. All of us are worried. Nevertheless, the very person who is most affected turns to God for divine help. For me, I trust that the Lord will bring healing to the person concerned. The Holy Family sets an example for me to follow. My family members are not Christians. But, I see all of us hanging on and supporting one another to bring comfort and support to the afflicted ones, imitating the example of the Holy Family. No matter what the outcome is, all of us are hanging on to God for hope and help for miracle to happen.
Personally, such situation tells me that things are beyond our control. I have to learn to hang on to God for hope and healing. I pray for miracle to happen. All I have is this gift of faith from God. I also have a taste of experience for myself what the Holy Family had gone through, standing united in Love despite the ‘search for the child to destroy him’. Joseph did everything as ‘warned in a dream’ by the ‘angel of the Lord’. So, during this period of tough time that my family is going through, no matter what God’s will is for that loved one, we will continue to imitate the Holy Family to go through it together in Love and with Love for one another. This is indeed the richest Christmas that I have ever gone through in Love as seen through the actions and words of encouragement and love for the afflicted ones in my family. So, never give up hope no matter what! Love moves mountains. Merry Christmas to all. May all of us be truly enriched with miraculous wonder of Love!
With Love,
Elena
