THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH

From the Province of Alessandria, Italy, 24 December 2012

“The Word became flesh, he lived among us ”.
( John 1:14 ).

1. << The Word became flesh >>: Here is the surprising novelty, the great revelation, the
decisive reverse story of the world. Infinite become the End, Eternal take position of the
time, the Creator enter man’s evolution, the living God take the form of a mortal. God in
person visited his people: << and lived among us >>, showing to be the true Emmanuel, the
“God with us”. In the Old Testament, God manifested his presence in different mode: in the
clouds during the day and a pillar of fire during the night when his people walked along the
desert, in the arc of the covenant, in the tent of the assembly, in the temple in the Holy of
Holies. But now God come in person to live among men assuming the human nature.

Welcome Lord Jesus, Word of the Father. Most Loved Jesus, I believe that you are the
Beloved Son of the Father, his most splendid image and likeness. For all eternity you live in
the womb of the Father: God from God, Light from Light, eternal Word of the Father, you
are being donated to us. Father, you have sent your Son in this world and you have entrusted
to us. You have sent him because He will tell us about you. One time you talked by means
of the prophets: but now your the same Word has revealed to us. << No one has ever seen
God; it is the only son, who is close to the Father’s heart, who has made him known.>> (Jn
1:18)

Lord Most Loved, take position of my spirit and my imagination, draw me into your heart
and all my affections. Grant me to receive you in silence adoration, that I may know to
respond your invitation, to work for you Lord Jesus. I love You with all my being.

Adoration – Admiration – Recognition

2. << The Word came and lived among us>>. God couldn’t disagreed to his creature such
great honor. He came as the fountain of hope, certainty and joy. Oh immensity love of God
for men! The Father send us his Only Son: << For God who loved the world: he gave us his
only son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life>>.
( John 3:16)
O Jesus most Loved, with all my force I thank you for such great trial of love you give me.
Just as you choose to live among us, permit me to live with you. Permit me to lost in you that
I will live only with your love. O Word Incarnate, I adore you: I will prostrate in front of your
divine majesty and pay homage with all my being. To you all praise and glory in this life and
eternity.

Adoration – Oblation
