Sacred infant, all divine,
What a tender love was thine,
Thus to come from highest bliss
Down to such a world as this.

I think the core message of Christmas is the Christ Child’s unconditional love for us. That baby grew up, not with a primary message of power or enlightenment, just one of love, plain and simple. If we could only let that sink in, heal us, and saturate every fiber of our being.

We are loved.

Teach, O teach us, Holy Child,
By thy face so meek and mild,
Teach us to resemble Thee,
In thy sweet humility.

I think the core message of our marching orders is to pay love forward.

Tomorrow is Christmas. I want to spend the day knowing I’m unconditionally loved…and letting that saturate every fiber of my being.

Every fiber of my being.

I want that for you too.

Merry Christmas, loved person!
