|  Christmas Meditations From True Life In God
"The day I was conceived by the Holy Spirit in Her virginal Womb, all the demons were paralysed with fright while in heaven at the same time a great throng of the heavenly host were praising God; "Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace to men who enjoy His favour" Thus, I descended from heaven to heaven, from My Throne to My Throne....." TLIG Message March 25 1996 "Are you ready to recognize My Cries of Love? Are your hearts willing to open and acknowledge My Graces today? Are you ready to walk and come and prostrate yourselves at the Time of Adoration, and like the shepherds who came to adore Me in My Nativity, glorifying Me? Are you ready to glorify Me wth your heart this time? " TLIG Message August 9 1989 I think these two TLIG Messages say everthing, God Bless and a Blessed Christmas to all TLIG readers around the world . Fr. Tony Christmas Thoughts For TLIG Readers Christmas 2010 (Translated from Spanish) Traditionally, every year, Christmas is lived in two separate ways. On one side, the choking consumer spirit that invades the majority of human beings in a celebration far beyond the Christian sphere. On the other, the classical celebration of the events that enveloped the Birth of the most famous figure in history.
But neither of them will have a real impact on us, unless we make out of Christmas an authentic and True Life in God in our lives.
Let us put it in another way. The Word becoming Flesh is not only an historical reference to be commemorated. In Antioch, the followers of Jesus, the Christ or the Messiah, received the name of “Christians”, as pointed out in Acts 11, 26, due to their identification with the Spirit and the Doctrine of the Nazarene. Likewise, now, it is necessary for mankind to be impacted again with the powerful manifestation of the new disciples of Jesus Christ. How? By imitating Our Lady. If we decide, with our hearts, to let the Holy Spirit of God renew us from the inside, just like He covered Mary with His Shadow, He will also come upon you. And believe me, He will cover you with His Holy Unction. Luke, the Evangelist, affirms so in 1, 35: “For nothing is impossible for God”. Once the Holy Spirit comes into your life, two major Graces will occur inside you, deep within your being: You will conceive. Yes, True Life in God will be present in you. You will no longer live, it will be Christ living in you.
You will give birth. Mystically, you will give birth to Jesus Christ, or in other words, you will make Him known. You will no longer be just one more Christian. You will be a Christophorus, the one who carries the Fire of Christ, which He so much desires enflames the Earth. You will be a Christophorus, a bearer of Jesus.
Thus, the Prodigy of Christmas will not be the commemoration of a beautiful story every December. Christmas will be present every time that, with our lives clothed with Christ, we can, like Mary and Saint Joseph did, show men of good will the Divine Light that still illuminates and saves all of His Creation.
Happy and perpetual Christmas to you all! Father Teo |
