“We consider Christmas as the encounter, the great encounter, the historical encounter, the decisive encounter, between God and mankind. He who has faith knows this truly; let him rejoice.” Pope St. Paul VI
The great encounter!
Merry Christmas!
Jesus wants to come in…
“Open wide your door to the one who comes. Open your soul, throw open the depths of your heart to see the riches of simplicity, the treasures of peace, the sweetness of grace. Open your heart and run to meet the Sun of eternal light that illuminates all men.” St. Ambrose
Opening your heart to Jesus
Walking with Jesus
“Always live under the eyes of the Good Shepherd and you will walk unharmed through evil pastures.” St. Padre Pio
Living in Christ’s presence
Heart to heart with Jesus
“You must speak to Jesus also with the heart, besides the lips; indeed, in certain cases you must speak to him only with the heart.” St. Padre Pio
Praying with the heart…
Allow Jesus in!
“I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends…” John 15:15
Is Jesus #1? He wants to be your best friend, but you need to put him on your daily schedule for some quality prayer time and allow him to accompany you everywhere, all the time…
