The earthly home of Nazareth was not incidental to the life of Christ but was absolutely essential. From Mary and Joseph, Christ would have encountered a wisdom that comes from knowing his heavenly Father’s merciful love for his people. It is this encounter that we are called to experience and enter into in our discipleship of faith.
This Christ-child in his nativity unites heaven and earth, the divine and human, the temporal and eternity and invites us to participate in his great work of redemption.
Let the joy of John and the exultant humble praise of Elizabeth’s words inspire our faith, that we might be ever thankful for the Lord’s work of salvation and look all the more steadfastly to his return!

‘Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God.

This Sunday has many names, including Dominica in Albis (“White Sunday”, from the white robes of the newly-baptised); Low Sunday (compared to the “high” Sunday of Easter itself); and Quasimodo Sunday (from the first words of the introit, “Quasi modo geniti infantes”, “Like new-born babes”). Victor Hugo’s hunchback was given the name Quasimodo because he was found on this Sunday.
“Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you.’ Then he said to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.’ Thomas answered him, ‘My Lord and my God!’ Jesus said to him, ‘Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.’”
