"God walks into your soul with silent step. God comes to you more than you go to Him. Never will his coming be what you expect, and yet never will it disappoint. The more you respond to his gentle pressure, the greater will be your freedom." Venerable Fulton Sheen

As the Christ child came into the world without much fanfare, in the silent of the night, while the world was asleep, so Christ comes to us.  It is hard to perceive his presence, except through faith. Mary and Joseph and the shepherds saw a new born child with their natural eyes, but saw in faith the Messiah of the world. How often he comes to us in the same way. We see bead and wine but receive Jesus. We hear words from the Scriptures, we heed the voice of the Lord. In the silence of our hearts, Jesus speaks the language of love and peace. The more we are attentive to this different comings of the Lord to us, the more his life will transform ours.  Come, Lord Jesus, come.
