Awesome and alluring blessing<\/em><\/p>\n

Jesus is our only Savior, and he saves in an awesome and alluring way.\u00a0 He will bless us when as priests through our baptism, we invoke his name upon one another.<\/h3>\n

There is no other name by which salvation comes to us but the name of Jesus.\u00a0 And since he is our all (SV.EN:537<\/a>), it is enough for us to receive his awesome and alluring blessing.<\/p>\n

First, this blessing guarantees us the protection of God.\u00a0 It assures us besides of the light from his bright face, of his grace, merciful gaze and peace.<\/p>\n

And peace is more than the absence of war.\u00a0 It indicates, moreover, the fulfillment of our noblest wishes, embracing human maturity according to Christ\u2019s fullness.\u00a0 And enjoying this peace, the people of God on earth glorify him truly.<\/p>\n

Secondly, the blessing of Jesus supposes divine love.\u00a0 And lovable in the sight of God are the lowly who tremble at his word.\u00a0 Their delight is the fear of the Lord; his beloved wonder at his awesome and alluring revelation.<\/p>\n

To wonder (Wunder<\/em> in German) entails wound (wunde<\/em> in the same aforementioned language), as Robert P. Maloney, C.M., suggested long ago.\u00a0 Those who wonder let something strange cut the membrane around their heart and consciousness.<\/p>\n

Yes, God surprises is awesome, surprising.<\/h4>\n

It is unbelievable that a child, helpless and in swaddling clothes just like any other child, is the Savior.\u00a0 The Messiah and Lord lies on a manger also, not in a crib for royal babies.\u00a0 The latter are in palaces at the capital; the former is somewhere in the city of David.<\/p>\n

That is because, just as with the choice of the shepherd David, God sees the heart.\u00a0 He chooses the foolish, the lowly and the weak.\u00a0 Through them, he shows, to the surprise of many, his wisdom, greatness and strength.<\/p>\n

So, he invites Mary, who answers with humble and submissive faith.\u00a0 She then turns into a proclaimer of the greatness of God and a bearer of joy.\u00a0 In addition, she becomes the Mother of God.\u00a0 After Jesus, she our perfect model, as St. Vincent de Paul says repeatedly (see \u201cMary\u201d SV.EN XIV:379<\/a>).\u00a0 Hearing, reflecting on, and doing the word of God, Mary is truly among the intimate family members of Jesus.\u00a0 She is blessed both for being the Mother of Jesus and for her commitment to the Word.<\/p>\n

God calls likewise the shepherds who smell like sheep and other rotten and unclean things.\u00a0 Their reply of grateful faith is unquestioning and wastes no time.\u00a0 They go in haste and later become so awesome and alluring preachers that they amaze all their hearers.<\/p>\n

Awesome and alluring indeed is Jesus\u2019 blessing for the poor who cry out, \u201cAbba!\u201d\u00a0 It reaches its most awesome and alluring finish with the loss that he suffers as he gives his body up and sheds his blood.<\/p>\n

We praise you, Father, for your awesome and alluring revelation to the lowly.<\/em><\/h4>\n
