When Christmas is at hand, we can say: the Lord is near! Without Jesus, this statement—the Lord is near—might sound almost like a threat. In Jesus, on the contrary, we discover that, as the prophets had foreseen, God is a bosom of mercy. The Child Jesus reveals to us that God has a heart of mercy, through which he constantly gives birth. In him there is no threat, only forgiveness.
