God Has Visited His People

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel for he has visited his people, he has come to their rescue and he has raised up for us a power for salvation.
Lk.1:68

John’s father Zechariah is filled with the Holy Spirit after nine months of muteness, his first words praising God for visiting his people. God's plan of salvation is about to commence with the birth of a baby in a stable in Bethlehem.

There is the reason for our joy. God has visited his people. If we believe that, Christmas makes sense and we are transported into joy. If we don't believe that... well, all you are left with is "happy holidays". Holidays come and go. Truth is eternal. 

The sun is about to rise on that great and glorious day. Merry Christmas!

Alleluia, alleluia!

Come,

Radiant Dawn,

splendour of eternal light, sun of justice:

shine on those lost in the darkness of death!

Alleluia!
