The mystery hidden from eternity and unknown to the angels
After the fall of man, the infinite love of the Father, through His Word and
Son, has revealed forgiveness and paternal love at once, transferring man’s
suffering and the pain of his life into the bosom of the Most Holy Trinity, and
sent His Son into the world. Christ is no longer far from us, but a man like
us, he takes our nature and comes among us to speak with us in our language, to
know us, to feel and to heal our pains, to comfort our sadness and loneliness
and stay with us forever. Infant Jesus, through His birth and nurture by his
mother, the Virgin Mary and the Holy and the Righteous Joseph, his protector in
Nazareth of Galilee, ennobles, blesses and sanctifies the family as the safe
place where the children grow up and become strong filled with wisdom (Luke
2:40).
