As we celebrate once again the graces of the Incarnation of Jesus into our lives, we are always reminded with the fact that so many outcasts are the first to hear the good news of salvation.
It is the shepherds--the outcasts of that era--were the first ones to whom the angels proclaimed the good news. And they responded with joy and disbelief. They were the first ones to come to behold the new-born Jesus.
Down through the ages, the poorest and the outcasts have been the ones to whom God has spoken first.
In our own time, I am convinced that the immigrants, migrants, and refugees of our time are the ones to whom the new-born Jesus Christ is being revealed even now.
Blessings upon all during the coming New Year!
