Happiness is the art of meeting. Vinicíos de Moraes, a brilliant Brazilian poet, wisely said that "life is the art of meeting, despite so many misunderstandings."

From within, which we encounter with ourselves, we go out into the outer world in search of the "other."
So it was with the great prophets. Moses meets God in the episode of the burning bush; St. Francis of Assisi, St. Augustine, etc. they all had spectacular encounters that turned their lives to the path of Christianism!

Maria Santíssima had "the encounter" with ARCANJO GABRIEL (vide Lc, 1) which brought him the great news that he would beget, through the action of the Holy Spirit, his Son Jesus, the Redeemer of Humanity.

Encounter is to leave oneself in search of sharing with the other.
It is letting oneself be dominated by faith, hope and charity.

Let's make this Christmas the great ENCOUNTER with the Child God! and may He be the great motivator of our lives!
May He be reborn everyday in our hearts and may we share Him with our fellow men!
A happy and HOLY CHRISTMAS to all of you my real and virtual friends.
God bless you always and abundantly.
