More on God's Work

When I recently talked about God's work and our work, I came across this from St Alphonsus, talking about God's work and want to share it with you during this wonderful and holy Octave of Christmas. The context here is that God's work is the work of love; the Incarnation is the Incarnation of Love, God's most spectacular work of love:

“I think God must have said to Himself: Man does not love Me because he does not see Me; I will show Myself to him and thus make him love Me. God’s love for man was very great, and had been great from all eternity, but this love had not yet become visible; then it really appeared: the Son of God let Himself be seen as a tiny Babe in a stable, lying on a little straw.”

Happy Fifth Day of Christmas!
