LET¨S MEDITATEABOUT JESUS CHRIST THIS CHRISTMAS.

 LEST´S MEDITATE ABOUT JESUS CHRIST.

He lived in the time of “Augusto and Tiberio, emperors of the empire of Rome, his comtemporaries saw him working with his hands as a carpenter, probably with a chip of wood in his ear, as a sign of his trade, he walked in the ways that they can show us today. They saw him eating bread and olives and those fishes that are a delicacy for his fellow mates, at nigth they could see him in a mat or in a hammock, resting or sleeping, dead tired, just like any other man, similar to any one of us.

Never the less he said the most surprising words that can be heard: He said that he was the Messiah, that he was the person that would promote his “chosen people”  to its glory and culmination, and what is most surprising, that He was the Son of God. and they belived Him and acompany and escort Him  along those ways of Palestine, that He perenigrated through.

Prodigies  came out of his hands with surprising easyness, miracles of resurrections, miraculous cures, exortions, etc. however many of them hoped for a political liberation from the romans, but his thing was spiritual, and for the culmination of it, the end of his normal existance, all came with a stroke to wich He did not put resistance. But far from geting discouraged, his followers spread through all the world sealing with blood the testimony of his divinity and from then on, the humanity has converted that defeat in proof of his victory  and prostrate to the cross, ( his gallows,  just imagine what would have to happen to make of the electric chair an adorable thing )

All his life, from his birth, his childhood, and adult existence was pletoric of supernatural evidence, and at the third day of his death by unjust execution,  he resurrected by his own power. St Paul says that this is what confirms our faith, and if the ressurection had not taken place, our faith would have been useless. BUT HE DID,  AND ALL WHAT HE LEFT US IS VALID: THE REVELATION THE TRADITION, THE GOSPELS, ETC.

Speaking of his Gospels the Evangelical Beatitudes, taken as an example have possitibly influenced the humanity since they were known, and will stay for all menkind  until the end of times. It is amazing what Jesus Christ, taugth, for our salvation, the Doctrine left for us, the Church he founded, the gospels, Revelation and Tradition, inherited to his followers, and the rest of humanity, in all the extention of its meaning. Nothing on earth has the value of the Sacraments, that his church enables, being the Holy Mass the center of our catholic life, it is the commemoration of the Sacrifice that he offers as  victim, to God Father, for the love of us. This is a double consideration, he offers himself in painful passion for He loves us and the Father offers his son, to be sacrificed, also for the love of us.

In this days that we conmemorate His Nativity, it is very usefull for our spirituality to contemplate this ítems, along with the rolls of the Virgin Mary and St. Joseph, that took such important and vital participation in His comming to this world, the gospels of this liturgical time, tell those important happenings. We must pay special attention to them.
