Divine Nativity and Human Captivity
The divine nativity is the death of human captivity. The moment of his birth is the moment of a new birth for humanity and the memory of it is the memory of joy and peace, light and love. We have no future without keeping that memory alive. The glory of human existence is in its best memories. Nativity liberates us from captivity in all its myriad manifestations. Christ is the true light which yearns and burns in our hearts. Without his nativity, there is no real freedom in our lives.
The only ultimate meaning in life is to love God. The failure to do so is the origin and summit of all our misery, emptiness, and suffering. Emptiness is the absence of love in our hearts, it is the absence of fire, the lack of embers in our innermost chambers. The divine fire propels us to serve and love, to break and die, to bless and pray. Without a burning and a bleeding heart, one cannot contain the divine spark in one’s heart. All finite human love points to an infinite divine love. All our conditional love yearns and longs desperately for unconditional love and real frustration in life is not to glimpse it.
One’s interior darkness, gloominess can darken, further and add to the already existing exterior darkness. By the same token, one’s interior light can also lighten the exterior light further; more light is added to already existing light.
Jesus is the true torch bearer; that is , Jesus is the torch as well as the bearer. He is the true light and the carrier of it as well. Without divine light, love is not possible. One cannot love heart-bleedingly if one lives in darkness. The quality is love is in proportion to the light we bear and breed. He it is that loves us saves us. He saves us so that we can continue to love Him.
