THE CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!

The greatest History ever told begins in the words of the Evangelist Saint Luke “When Cyrus was Governor of Syria and Galilee, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the World should be enrolled”. The Imperial Decree caused Joseph, who was of the lineage of David, and the Blessed Virgin Mary, his spouse, to whom he was betrothed, but not as yet married, to saddle their little black donkey and set out after much hesitation on the long journey to Bethlehem, the City of David. These were dangerous times in which to travel and, as foretold by the Archangel Gabriel, Mary was expecting a child, a very special child! Most babies are nine months in the making, but the birth of this baby had been preordained by God before Creation, before the beginning of Time. In the words of Saint John “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was made flesh”. Despite His Divine Nature and Destiny, the birth of Jesus Christ, Son of God, Prince of Peace, was very humble. Having been refused a room at the Inn, Joseph and his expectant spouse were forced to travel on until they found a stable. The Virgin Mary then gave birth to Jesus, wrapped the infant in swaddling clothes and laid the Son of God in a manger. On Earth the divine birth was witnessed by just a few shepherds. In Heaven, it was greeted by the Choir of Angels! There was no time to rejoice or relax. The Angel warned Joseph in a dream that King Herod was looking for Jesus for the express purpose of killing the baby. Joseph saddled the donkey again and led Mary and the new-born Jesus to relative safety in Egypt. The Holy Family of Nazareth survived unscathed until God punished Herod with a very horrible death. Following the child-murderers’ death, Jesus, Mary and Joseph were able to return to the Holy Land of Israel. Having escaped deadly Abortionists and Assassins, Jesus grew up to be the kindest, best and most charitable young man, a source of great pride to his Mother in Nazareth and to His Father in Heaven. God decreed that all good children the World over should celebrate Jesus’ Birthday at Christmas with the greatest simplicity, purity and joy. God ruled that every little child should be deemed a Holy Angel. But Almighty God was never impressed by the crass commercialism which came to surround the Messiah’s birth. God decided that he would never honour Ryan by playing the Hallelujah Chorus on the Toy Show. God feels very strongly that the show did nothing whatever to counteract King Herod’s Dark Message or the Death of the Holy Innocents. Neither Ryan nor any other presenter on the Toy Show ever spoke up to defend the unborn targeted for murder by the abortion campaign. This did not amount to a tragic mistake made by kind, charitable, compassionate people sitting around a beautiful Christmas tree. Not only were the votes for abortion and the complicit silence of the grossly overpaid presenters wicked and horrible crimes, they also constituted Blasphemy and Mortal Sins directed against Jesus, the Child King and Son of God born in Bethlehem. As the Duke of Wellington, the Victor at Waterloo, correctly pointed out “Just because you are born in a Stable does not make you a Horse!” In their Blasphemy, Abortionist and Murderous Angels should never forget that Our Saviour Jesus Christ, rose from the Dead, ascended into Heaven. sits at the right of the Father and has promised to return to judge the Living and the Dead!
