As we enter this joyous season, we pause to remember the birth of a child who has transcended the boundaries of time. Born into a world where His arrival was hardly noted by a handful of wise men and a few ordinary shepherds, this Child — being both God and King — came to earth in the form of a servant and Savior.
Even though it has been over two thousand years since His birth, many things are the same. All too often, in our modern world consumed by the problems and worries of daily life, we fail to give God the attention He deserves. We fail to see the benevolence He provides without condition. Even now, just like on that first Christmas morning, He continues to show himself to those who are loving, wise, and innocent.
Let us greet God with open hearts as we meet with loved ones to celebrate this year. Aside from those closest to us, let us train ourselves to see Him in the faces of those who, like Jesus, have known what it is like to be poor, rejected, and struggling. And may we take comfort from His sacrifice and follow His example of selfless service to one another. By doing so, we may face the coming year with faith in God’s love and the unending promise of His salvation.
The staff of the Polish American Journal wishes a blessed and merry Christmas to our readers and sponsors. Your support enables us to keep alive the traditions and beliefs of our shared heritage, not only at Christmastime, but throughout the year. Because we consider each one you part of the PAJ family, we symbolically break the opłatek with you, and ask that God may bless you with health, wealth, and happiness.
