Theologian Karl Rahner hears God whispering to us on the night before Christmas. "I am your life. I am your time.Tell that to everything that exists, everything that you are. Say only that one thing, and then it is Christmas for you. Say only 'You are here'. That is enough."
And like metal to a magnet it is this sacramental vision that is already drawing the world to the world of Pope Francis. And why is this? It is because with confident hands he is once again parting the veils of the Temple for us, and we glimpse the miracle of what reality is and who we ourselves are, flawed but immortal diamonds reflecting the beauty of God.
