Today, we simply rejoice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jesus Christ is born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not as an idea.
Not as a symbol.
But as a child given to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor to us a child is born,
to us a son is given.\u201d
\u2014 Isaiah 9:6<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He has entered our history, our weakness, our ordinary days.
He has taken flesh so that nothing human would be untouched by God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today is not for striving.
Not for explanation.
Not for analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today is for joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
May the peace announced by angels rest in your home.
May the quiet strength of Mary and the faithful presence of Joseph steady your heart.
May the light that dawned in Bethlehem shine gently into your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thank you for walking this Advent journey together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Merry Christmas.<\/strong> Jesus Christ is born. Today we rejoice, give thanks, and rest in the joy heaven announced to the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":132804860,"featured_media":11515,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":true,"token":"eyJpbWciOiJodHRwczpcL1wvaTAud3AuY29tXC9teS1hbGwtYWJvdXQteW91LmNvbVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNVwvMTJcL0JpcnRoLW9mLUplc3VzLnBuZz9maXQ9NjgzJTJDMTAyNCZzc2w9MSIsInR4dCI6IkEgU2F2aW9yIEhhcyBCZWVuIEJvcm4gXHUyMDE0IE1lcnJ5IENocmlzdG1hcyIsInRlbXBsYXRlIjoiZG9pcyIsImZvbnQiOiIiLCJibG9nX2lkIjoxNDA1OTIyNDF9._6j1p5SJeKcDvzo2-In7Z6QxnPMMdtxu3wyQ93RucmwMQ","image_type":"featured","custom_text":""},"version":2,"attached_media":[{"id":11515,"url":"https:\/\/my-all-about-you.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Birth-of-Jesus.png","type":"image\/png"}]},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[2184036,785751202],"tags":[785751264,785751025,785751240,18209,785751266,2128],"class_list":["post-11513","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-christmas-wishes","category-incarnation-nativity","tag-birth-of-jesus","tag-christmas","tag-emmanuel","tag-jesus-christ","tag-nativity","tag-peace"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/my-all-about-you.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Birth-of-Jesus.webp?fit=1024%2C1536&ssl=1","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9vUsN-2ZH","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":11507,"url":"https:\/\/my-all-about-you.com\/en\/2025\/12\/24\/jesus-is-born-heaven-answers-the-quiet-of-the-earth\/","url_meta":{"origin":11513,"position":0},"title":"Jesus Is Born: Heaven Answers the Quiet of the Earth","author":"myallaboutyou","date":"December 24, 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"On a night shaped by prophecy and quiet obedience, Jesus is born\u2014not with spectacle, but in stillness.
