Religion & Spirituality
One of the things "revealed" in the mystery of the Nativity is the vocation of the Church to shine the light of Christ and thus attract those who do not yet know Him. This was Israel's mission in the world -- to attract others and so lead them by the light of faith to abandon their old idolatry and to worship of the One, True God. So in the Church, which is the New Israel, how are we doing in this mission? How have we been doing for the past fifty years? Are we growing or declining? When the Church is not radiating the light of Christ and attract others to Him because of her light, we are doing something wrong!
