As Christmas approaches, the readings at today's Mass reflect more the joy of anticipating the coming of Christ the Savior. Then I realize that in reality he has already come and is here with me totally, and my joy becomes uncontainable! The desire to spread this joy follows. Sadly, much of the world doesn't want to hear the good news of salvation, for Christ makes them feel uncomfortable. I think you know why. I've been even accused of judging them. They don't realize that judging is exposing all one's faults without mercy. Anyway, being misunderstood for Jesus' name is an honor and also joy. This joy is now part of the overall great joy.
