(EWTN) Why Is Christmas Celebrated?
The Church celebrates the ‘marvelous works of God’ through public worship or liturgy
commemorating the great events in Salvation history. The Nativity of Our Lord celebrates the
point in history when the Son of God became Man for our Salvation — an act of loving
obedience to the Father and saving love for us, that will culminate on the Cross.
Imitating Christ Jesus Humility
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit but in humility regard others as better than
yourselves. Let each of you look not to your own interests but to the interests of others. Let the
same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who though He was in the form of God, did not
regard equality with God as something to be exploited but emptied Himself, taking the form of
a slave, being born in human likeness and being found in human form (Luke 2:8-20)
He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death — even death on a Cross.
Therefore God also highly exalted Him and gave Him the name that is above every name, so
that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bend, in Heaven and on earth and under the earth
and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the Glory of God the Father!
