Think of all the ways you have been called. Think about all of the ways you have experienced the power of God, the mercy and healing of Christ, and the inspiration and comfort of the Holy Spirit. Think about those manifestations especially if you are not feeling any of them in life right now.

This is the gift we unwrap each Christmastide. The Wisdom of God is accessible to us now. God went through human life, death and resurrection to deliver this gift to us. It is important that we regularly discern what it is in our lives that we are doing with this gift.
