Christmas Meditation

Think on this at this time of year:

Christ the giver; Christ the gift. Christ the victim; Christ the priest. Christ the Blessed; Christ the Blesser and the Blessing. Christ the Alpha and the Omega. Christ the Fountain and the Flow. Christ the Way and Christ our Goal. Truly from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. And at Christmas we contemplate Him who had no beginning suddenly became: Eternity compressed within the span of man.

Upon Thinking New Thoughts

"If God is most perfect and most wise, then how could I ever hope to have a thought that is good that He hadn't thought of already?  It must be a bit of pride to think that you could come up with an original thought that God didn't think of before."
