Feast of Jesus Christ
By PETER P. MOLLOY
Pastor, St. Mary’s Catholic Church
Today in the town of David a saviour has been born to you, who
is Christ the Lord (Luke 2:2).
Christmas is the great feast of Jesus Christ, the Light of the
World. On that day we are not required to search into the deep re-
cesses of the unfathomable mystery of the Trinity, but to look lov-
ingly at the meek humanity of the Saviour. Goodness and kindness
of God, our Saviour has appeared. Christmas is the feast of Christ’s
humanity, of his humanness, God in the form of a living child. The
Angels did not speak of the “depths of the riches of the wisdom of
God,” nor did they exclaim “how incomprehensible are his judgments
and how unsearchable his ways? They related instead of omprehen-
sible and searchable wonders of Jesus’ humanity:

rule us by being one of us, by de-
manding of Himself much more
than He requires of us, by asking
nothing of us that He did not per-
form Himself. He spurned tne
riches and the luxury of a golden
palace, because He wanted the
gold of our loving service. He dis-
dained the service of courtiers
because He came to be all things
to all men that he might win the
homage of all. To teach us that
our greatest dignity is our humil-
ity, the humility of serving God,
He, Himself, lived the ordinary
woik-a-day life for He said, the
humble shall be exalted to show
that greatness is within the at-
tai nm ent of everyone, Jesus
placed Himself on an equal basis
with us in all the affairs of life.
So, He dwelt in a home of the
same design and dimensions as
those of any other citizen of Naz-
areth, that most unpretentious of
towns. So insignificant was its
fame that Nathaniel once asked,
“Can anything good come from
Nazareth”?
“The Dignity of Ordinary Life”
Such is the light of God’s wis-
dom as brought to us through Jes-
us’ humanity. Knowing that most
of his followers would spend their
lives in menial, distasteful and
difficult labor, knowing that often
they would have nothing to look
forward to when they arose in the
morning except the same routine
of duties, Christ was born to teach
us the dignity of human life in its
ordinariness. Earning our daily
bread by the sweat of our brows
is also the way of winning the
Eternal Bread of Heaven.
By the commonplaceness of His
life, a life for thirty years without
marvel or miracle beyond the ex-
traordinary events that surround
His birth and His presentation
arid finding in the temple, Jesus
instructs us in the worthiness of
human life. His Christmas mes-
sage of this—that Christian per-
fection can be reached by walk-
ing along the paths of human toil.
St. Paul expressed this truth
when he counselled: “Let every
man, remain in the calling in
which he was called.” Christ re-
quires but this, the only one
thing needful “that we make con-
tinual progress in the virtues of
our state in life.”
This is the Christmas message
of the Light of the World. And we
follow this light if we keep in
mind that “this is eternal life,
that we may know the one true
God and Jesus Christ whom thou
(Father) hast sent,” sent to us
as the Light of the World. Amen.

‘Christ Dwells With His Servants’
The Lord of Lords, in assum-
ing our humanity, disdained to
overwhelm us with His divine su-
periority. Therefore, He chose
to cloth His body with the ordi-
dinary raiment of the working
class. He was to be of the class
known as the ordinary people.
Even in His moments of greatest
triumph, when the crowds wanted
to make Him king, and also when
He actually entered Jerusalem
as their king, Jesus did not pa-
rade in the midst of his admiring
throng with the finery which only
wealth could afford. He desired to

Their message told in a manner
which no person of good will
could misunderstand that “God
emptied himself, taking the na-
ture of a slave and being like
unto men.” By pointing the
light-strewn way to Bethlehem
and to the Babe of promise, they
showed God was no longer the
far distant and invisible being
but that Jesus, though He was
by nature God, appeared in the
form of men.
The creator of the universe
came to us in the lowliness of our
own human nature so that we
might appreciate God’s good-
ness. His greatness was changed
into lowliness, the King of Glory
became the offspring of Mary.
The Designer of the heavens be-
came the helper of the Carpen-
ter, the mighty God most ad-
mirable became the tiny child
