“Let us go, then, to Bethlehem to see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us.” (Lk 2:15)
FIRST READING - Is 62:11-12
See, the LORD proclaims
to the ends of the earth:
say to daughter Zion,
your savior comes!
Here is his reward with him,
his recompense before him.
They shall be called the holy people,
the redeemed of the LORD,
and you shall be called “Frequented,”
a city that is not forsaken.
SECOND READING - Ti 3:4-7
Beloved:When the kindness and generous love of God our savior appeared,
not because of any righteous deeds we had done but because of his mercy, He saved us through the bath of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he richly poured out on us through Jesus Christ our savior, so that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs in hope of eternal life.
GOSPEL OF THE DAY - Lk 2:15-20
When the angels went away from them to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go, then, 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 the manger. When they saw this, they made known the message that had been told them about this 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.

THE WORD OF GOD FOR EVERYONE
Dear People of God,
In today's Word of God, God wants to tell all humanity to believe in the prophecy, the oracles, the words of the angels that God has given to all humanity. Because they are powerful instruments in God's work of salvation.
God is the master of all things, so every creature must follows God's instructions must obey Him absolutely. Any creature that goes beyond God's love will oppose Him, disobey the holy commandments that God has given. God wants all humanity today to turn to God, to worship Him, to thank Him. Because of love, He sent His only Son to earth to become a human. Let us run to worship God, who was born as a human. He is the Prince of Peace, the God of Love. God is the giver of all blessings, and all actions and plans God bestows are evidence of His love and mercy towards humanity.
God lets people know that in order to have great love like God, people must know how to fear God, obey His will at all times and places, and believe in His absolute power. Believe that He can do all things and all things must submit to His will. Besides, God wants people to know how to put on the love and humility of the Son of God who was born as a human like everyone else, except for sin.
God wants people to know that in order to have love and eternal life that is never lost, they must run to God, listen and learn humility and self-abasement from the Only Son of God. He is God but accepted to be born in a cold place, in a stable. God wants everyone to bow down and prostrate before Him. Because He is the Creator of all things, yet He is self-abasing and humbles Himself to be with mankind. It is love that will give birth to true gentleness and humility in the heart.
God wants mankind today to know how to submit to His will, to worship and bow down before His presence. Because only with humility, only with love, fear of God and love for one's brothers and sisters will everything be happy and peaceful. God gives people peace that comes from God, that is Jesus Christ who came to earth and became a human, born in a place that God has planned in advance. God wants all His children to spread His love and mercy of salvation to their brothers and sisters, regardless of religion, regardless of good or bad, rich or poor, because all have value before God. God does not exclude any of His children, but He needs repentance of their sins so that He can forgive them.
In today's world, there are many wars, epidemics, deaths, and sufferings. God invites people to have absolute faith in His love and His saving mercy. God is present with and bestows all blessings on all those who come to prostrate, bow down, worship Him to ask for His mercy, to ask Him to protect, shelter, and grant salvation. God also wants everyone in this world to know how to rejoice, praise, and thank Him. Become a simple and humble person before God and be humble, live gently, love, and fear Him as the only One. Reflect on the things that He has shown in your own person.
If God did not protect, shelter, and bestow all blessings on your body and soul, then ask yourself whether you would still be present in this world? Would you still enjoy the happiness and peace that God gives? God wants everyone to stand up and return to His love and mercy. He will welcome all souls who repent and return to Him. And He wants all mankind to follow the example of Mother Mary and Saint Joseph, always remembering God's words and putting them into practice, absolutely not going against His words. Then He will give everyone eternal happiness and eternal life.
God is the only One who gives people eternal life. Besides Him, there is no other god like God. God has given the reward of happiness in the Kingdom of Heaven to Mother Mary, Saint Joseph, the prophets, the messengers or all those who know how to abandon the path of sin and return to Him. Right in this earthly life, if people want to enjoy the happiness of the Kingdom of Heaven, want to have peace, they must know how to fear and submit to God, run to Him and ask Him for protection, ask Him to bestow all blessings, and live humbly, self-effacingly, compassionately, knowing how to rely on God, not on what the world or Satan brings. Satan is a liar, evil and has no mercy. There is only one God, the Creator of mankind, who has mercy and love. Therefore, today God calls all His children to abandon the path of sin, abandon the path of Satan to submit and worship the Son of God born as a human.
Thanks be to God. Amen.
