The Christmas liturgy, which we are preparing to celebrate, encourages us to assume an attitude of joyful expectation of the One who wishes to encounter humanity. May the prayer in preparation for the Incarnation of the Son of God help us to have eyes capable of seeing the wonders that the Lord does in our lives and in others’ lives. With the Virgin of Nazareth, the Virgin of Expectation, and with our Foundress, St Louise de Marillac, let us set out towards Bethlehem… to discover the Mystery of the Incarnation of Christ, the central point at the heart of Vincentian spirituality.
