Homily
The most momentous event in the history of humanity is the one we will celebrate at the end of Advent, which begins tomorrow: the moment when God took on one of his creatures by becoming man. When God manifested himself as man in Jesus of Nazareth, all of humanity was taken on. A seed of divine life was placed in the heart of humanity. The ‘Son of Man’ mentioned in the Gospel text we have just heard is not simply the Messiah, the little child born of Mary, but also every man, every human person, humanity itself.
