Homily for Christmas Day Mass Have you ever wondered why Jesus left His heavenly home and His eternal fellowship with God to take on human form as a baby and humbly live among man? Have you ever wondered why He just didn't appear on earth as a majestic king? Jesus came as a baby to magnify the humility of Christ. The humble emergence of baby Jesus gives us insight into the heart of God. He did not pick a wealthy couple of immeasurable means to care for His son. He did not pick a mighty man of power and influence or a famous and prominent woman to raise His son. Instead, God acknowledged the quiet and sincere faith of both Jospeh and Mary. He selected them for the wondrous honor of raising His son Jesus, an honor that was both costly and a blessing. But because of their humility, they too become special examples of God's grace.Readings from December 25, 2021Isaiah Psalms Titus Luke
