a visit to the Blessed

by Romualdo on 01.07.2007

Last night, when I visit you in the Blessed, thought of the great mystery of love which is the embodiment ... You, being God, I've done ... you have become a tiny man ... and man in the most humble ... a small and helpless little boy , born in a manger, in a poor village, surrounded by animals ... but wrapped in the greatest love ... the love of Your Blessed Mother ... and the love of God the Father who from Heaven looks at you with pleasure and gives you the most gorgeous smile ...

And there ... in the shadows of the night ... lit by the star ... and the praises of angels telling the shepherds arrive ... wonderful ... bring their lambs: meek, humble and submissive ... are the first fruits of sacrifice that you offer in one day humanity ... Joseph, awe, invites you to spend ... and Mary, moved, kept this deep inside your heart ...

Then, amid the roar of a sheep and the lowing of the cow ... the Magi arrive ... dressed in fine linen and a joy, so great that they bear in the heart ... and bow down to you to worship ... and will present their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh ... You, from the manger and covered in diapers, you show on your face the smile of God ...

So small ... so helpless ... such a little thing ... and yet ... you hide all of God here in this humble manger, surrounded by those who have called forth the mystery of God ... You, the Word made flesh you have ... and and will never be alone ... because Your light will shine forever ...

Lord ... there among the shadows of the chapel, looking in the Host, I also see Your light shine ... here are not the little boy ... but you hide so that only faith can you see ... and I feel like the shepherds, happy and joyful, because I'm in front of my Lord ... and I adore you ... and like the Magi, I open the trunk of my heart, to give you my humble gifts: "gold" of my work, "incense" in my prayers and "myrrh" of those things that cause me grief ...

And I think I hear the angels singing "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to men who love the Lord" ... meanwhile, from custody, you look at me smile and give me the blessing ...
