“No one should follow what he considers to be good for himself, but rather what seems good for another. Let them put Christ before all else; and may he lead us all to everlasting life.” St. Benedict

During this Advent season when we are preparing for the coming of the Lord, we are called to imitate him. He, who is God, chose to become a man like us in all things except sin. He did this because of his great love for us. This love was eventually manifested when he laid down his life for our sake. Like him we are called to think of others so that one day we may be welcomed by him into eternity. Let that be your gift to Jesus this Christmas.
