Before I enter into the solemnity of this holy day,
I would like to invite you to come and adore
greatness humbled,
power weakened,
the infinite Majesty reduced to nothing,
eternal Wisdom made child,
immensity limited,
and the Holy of Holies, the One whom the seraphim call thrice holy,
reduced to the figure of a sinner.
Oh day full of mysteries, marvels and astonishments!
The day that is the admiration of the Angels
and the height of joy of the eternal Father!
Mother Mechtilde of the Blessed Sacrament
(1614-1698)
Best wishes to all visitors to our website:
may God’s grace and blessing rest upon you
on the occasion of the birth of our Lord and the New Year.
May Jesus – God incarnate,
vulnerable little Child, Lord of the Earth –
once again offer you his light, his wisdom, his joy and his trust.
We assure you of our prayers at the Bethlehem manger.
