St. Paul VI believed that Christmas is a beautiful feast that helps us feel loved by God, a love that can fuel our spiritual life.
Christmas is a beautiful time of year and, according to St. Paul VI, is a feast that should remind us of God's love for us.
The reality behind Christmas is that God came into the world for each one of us. He did so out of his immense love for us and that love should fuel our own spirituality.
St. Paul VI explains this in a Christmas homily in 1963.
Through the incarnation, God comes to be with us and to raise us to new life.
Love spreads
This feeling of love that Christmas can stimulate should in turn impact our practice of the faith, as Paul VI explains.
At Christmas, may we feel the love God has for each one of us and let that love drive us in all our words and actions.
