The more we turn the camera on ourselves, the less likely we are to direct our attention to God.

No es suficiente que Cristo se haga presente entre nosotros en la Palabra y la Eucaristía. Hace falta que sea aceptado y pueda transformar todas las cosas.
De poco sirve recordar la encarnación de Cristo si no nos impulsa a preparar su venida gloriosa. Usamos la Navidad para grandes fiestas. Ahora, ¿hasta qué punto nos inspiran éstas a transformar el mundo y preparar los caminos del Señor?

Cristo es rey, pero a su modo; el único modo.
