It was Christmas day of 2022 when I wrote the 3rd reflection. The birth of Christ takes on a deep meaning in my heart. It felt like a scene from the Passion of Christ when Veronica approached Jesus with a cloth to wipe His face. At that moment, the noises surrounding the scene quietened and the focus was all on Christ. I felt like that last Christmas, the noises quietened down and only Christ matter. I pray that you are blessed by this sharing.

Merry Christmas! Sharing with you my reflection this week with the theme “Restful Wonder”

Praise be Jesus Christ that I am continuing to improve. My sister has left for home since last Thursday and I have been able to do more at home, even able to cook meals. My muscle strength continue to improve with the current treatment plan and I have also been able to taper down the on demand drug.

Receiving the sacrament of reconciliation prepared me to ponder upon the gift of Child Jesus on Christmas. What does Jesus wants from me this Christmas? Pondering on the wonder of Baby Jesus who’s adorable, totally trusting, vulnerable, peaceful and infinitely loveable invited me to one important element: CONNECTION.

Jesus invites me to a deeper connection with Him and this year it’s a fluffless connection. Nothing else matter, just pure eye locking deep connection kind of relationship with Christ. Being able to rest in the wonder of our God who became one of us has been grace filled healing moments for me.

I wish you a Blessed Christmas with a deep connection with the Adorable Baby Jesus who Heals.

May you find your deepest daily connection with the One who draws you to Himself.

Love and Blessings,
Irene
