Provincial's Musings

Christmas places before us the profound mystery of life generously offered and life gra­ciously received. In the Babe of Bethlehem, God chooses closeness over distance, accompaniment over authority, tenderness over power. The Incarnation reveals a God who does not stand above humanity, but walks with us—listening, healing, and guiding us gently as Emmanuel, God with us always. This nearness of God is the source of our Christmas joy and the heart of our Jesuit and Synodal way of proceeding.
