Don't let the Star grow dim

     Sometimes the Star of Bethlehem grows dim. Fogged over with doubt or despair. Pray, my brothers and sisters, that the light that shone brightly that night, leading the Wise Men to that Holy stable, never grow so dim that you cannot see it anymore. It's always there. Leading us. Guiding us to the honest fact, that Salvation was born for all of us that night. Unaware to the sleeping world. 

     Keep alive the good. Do not let the overshadowing of the clouds of sin and frustration overwhelmed the Truth. Let its radiance penetrate every part of your being. Soak it in. Many have come and gone who have faithfully followed the Star of Bethlehem. We become the Wise Men, the shepherds, the Angels who witnessed it that glorious night. It is not just for that one night. The Star of Bethlehem shines forever. 

     God does not abandon us after that night had been fulfilled. Only the dark nights of our sin extinguishes it's radiance. By our cooperation in His Holy Sacraments and Faith, do we keep its Heavenly glow. 

     Don't let that Star grow dim. Renounce all that makes the sky grow dark, blackening our path. For it is only in the Light, that we can see where to go. 

     Shine brightly Holy Star of Bethlehem. Light our path with radiant beams. We follow, as the Wise Men did, in eagerness to see the Son of God. The baby. The Jesus. Our King and our Savior.
