At Christmas, we celebrate how God became man so that man might become god. The serpent tempted Eve with this good. Fallen man still wants to make himself god without God-made-man, without His Church, without Christmas. Yet to enter into Heaven, we can't bypass Christmas and the Mystery of Christ's Incarnate Love. So many think that they have the right answer (idealists). Clinging to this "love in dreams," man actually carves out a pit into which he falls once reality sets in. Active love is a hash and fearful thing as compared to love in dreams. One must humble himself, stop thinking he knows so much, pick up his cross, and follow the Lamb. This is the way to complete freedom, the path to Heaven. Did not Christ have to suffer before entering into His Kingdom? Active love is the way the Divine Child has chosen to go - and where He goes, we must follow.
