 All right, what does it mean to prepare our hearts to receive the Christ child? Yeah, that's like the big question. That's great. Well, I've been praying a lot about childhood, spiritual childhood, and like those beautiful passages where Christ talks about, like unless you turn and become a little child, you want to enter the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. So whether the person who asked that intended to qualify it that way by saying the Christ child, there's something about this choice of God. Like we discern God's preference for silence as we look at the way he chooses to enter into creation. It's a very quiet entrance. It's very respectful of the natural order. God could have just shown up as a fully grown man and just start flipping over tables. But he enters into the created order from the beginning at the level of conception to redeem the whole thing. And his first breathing moments outside of the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary are quiet, subtle, childlike moments which evokes in us and reminds us of the approachability of God that like, I mean, everybody's drawn to a child. You know, you see a baby and you just get happy. And that's not too small a detail that God would overlook. Like God chose first to become an infant to place himself in this human form dependent upon the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph, but also to invite the adoration of the shepherds and the adoration of the magi. So we would have the archetypal form of encountering this child. So we need eyes of faith to do that because the child Jesus was not recognizably divine. There had to have been villagers and shepherds who were like, no thanks, that's not God. And they walked away. Herod couldn't distinguish and his servants couldn't distinguish which child is which, which one's the divine one. So there's this hiddenness that requires of us eyes of faith and that simplification, that purification, that repentance that comes up throughout the journal is actually meant to purify our hearts that we would be able to see God. So wherever we can become like children and we can recognize God's choice for quietness, hiddenness, subtlety, and wherever we can let ourselves delight in the small gifts of creation, we'll be better attuned to recognize the very same hidden small vulnerable presence of God in the Eucharist as much as, as well in the hearts of believers. And so there's this way of simply thinking about like, what does it mean that God became a child? And then what does it mean for me to become like a child so that I can also recognize in child likeness the simplicity of God, because God is ultimately simple. And a child sees things very simply, the complex, the grown up, the overly mature makes things too complicated. And in fact, that's often why we miss God is because we've complexified something that's meant to be quite simple. Yes, absolutely. And you know what else draws my mind in that question is anyone who's held a newborn, there's this sense of awe and silence that enters in as you linger over a newborn and their little fingers and, you know, the amazing gift of creation of how we get to participate in that. And you know, you could take that internally and just hold the Christ child before you and linger over him in your prayer and wait on him to come. You're speaking to every mother's heart, I think. You know, I'm just like, Oh, wow, I have never contemplated that. So that's, that's beautiful.
