Blessed is the one who has Tasted the cup of the Master— Rejected, lied to, Cursed and spat upon. Blessed is the one who Falls down in trembling gratitude as a Sharer in those sufferings.

As we begin the Nativity Fast, we are reminded to avail ourselves of the sacrament of confession. Why? While all the Sacraments, especially Eucharist, draw us back to the Lord, Confession specifically roots out the small, simple, insidious thoughts, words, and deeds that lead us down a path of distraction, bad choices, and long-lived maladies that cause us long term, if not eternal, suffering.

Mary said "yes" with her entire being: Mind, body, soul, and spirit. Joseph gave it his all: Husband, dad, protector, teacher. Christ the Savior was born in a manger: Not as a powerful, political figure. That is when the earthly hunt began: A race to erase divinity.
