When the angels went away from them to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go, to Bethlehem to see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us." So they went in haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in a manger. When they saw this, they made known the message that had been told them about the child. All who heard it were amazed by what had been told them by the shepherds. And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as it had been told to them.
Father, thank you for allowing the Nativity of Your Son Jesus to occur as it did. To this day the birth of "Jesus" celebrated on Christmas Day focuses on the Nativity and the events that happened in that humble picturesque stable setting. Not even the creation of the Universe could compare to this: The Glory of God. Amen!
