The peace of Christmas depends on this freedom of obedience. The ground of obedience bears peace. Mary believed. She obeyed. The Spirit came. Christ was born. Mary listened to God’s word and treasured it in her heart.

Jesus experienced the utmost humiliation. From the feed-trough and the manger at his birth to his death on the cross. May we return again to the only thing that counts: to the way of Jesus Christ who was humiliated, tried, and crucified with criminals for our sake. We want to ask God to let us become like Jesus and, like him, to revere the childlike spirit of love and humility.
