Reflection of the Week
“We should never lose sight of the goal which we have to reach, namely, that each one of us must become identified with Jesus Christ, who...became poor for you and for me, and suffered, that we might have an example of how to follow in his footsteps.”
- St. Josemaria Escriva
Friends of God, 110
A blessed and merry Christmas!
The Board and Staff of the St. Josemaria Institute wish you, your family, and friends a blessed and joyful Christmas! May your days be filled with God's light and grace.
"God is here."
"This day shall light shine upon us; for the Lord is born to us." (Is 9:2) "This is the great announcement which moves Christians today. Through them it is addressed to all mankind. God is here. This truth should fill our lives, and every Christmas should be for us a new and special meeting with God, when we allow his light and grace to enter deep into our soul."
'Iesus Christus, Deus homo: Jesus Christ, God-man. This is one of "the mighty works of God," (Acts 2:11) which we should reflect upon and thank him for. He has come to bring "peace on earth to men of good will," (Lk 2:14) to all men who want to unite their wills to the holy will of God—not just the rich, not just the poor, but everyone...'
