We Are Not Left to Ourselves

God has left His Heaven and come down to earth for man...taking on human flesh and becoming man like us.Advent invites us to followthe path of this presenceand reminds us again and againthat God is not removed from the world,He is not absent,we are not left to ourselves,but He comes to us in different ways,which we need to learn to discern.And we, with our faith, our hope and our charity,are called every day to see and bear witness to this presence,in an often superficial and distracted world,to reflect in our lives the lightthat illuminated the cave of Bethlehem!
Benedict XVI
