The Debt We Couldn't Pay

Thoughts for Christmas Time

Dear Crusaders,

For weeks you counted the days until the coming of the Child Jesus at Christmas. Your letter with all your requests was written, and now, on Christmas Eve, you wait with the excitement of the evening and impatience to see what there would be under the Christmas Tree, by your Nativity Set.

I can imagine the joy when you open your Christmas gifts, no matter how small or big they are. Then, like the shepherds, you should bring your gifts to the crib to show them to the Child Jesus. Always remember that Jesus is the very most important gift that you and I receive at Christmas.

An inspiring thought came to me on a Christmas card I just received. It
said, “He came to pay a debt He didn’t owe, because we owed a debt we couldn’t pay.” This is about Original Sin, the mystery of Redemption, but this is also the innocent baby lying in a manger. He is the Christmas gift to you and I and to all men of good will who know, love, and serve Him during their lives.

Always be unspoiled and grateful children. When you receive a gift, say “thank you” to those who sacrificed to offer you those gifts. And always be very thankful for the wonderful gift the Child Jesus gave to mankind. Please pray and make sacrifices to make up for the ingratitude of many people.

Please repeat the words of the canticle: “O come, let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him. O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!”
