Why Jesus Came

There’s no other reason for Christ than love. The first glorious, dynamic, unbelievably powerful spark of creation, “Let there be!” launched the echo that reverberates down the eons “Let there be love!” And love has permeated the cosmos ever since. Love is the energizer in the millions of “Let there be’s” in Love’s unceasing, evolving transformation. Love became human in Mary’s “Let it be done to me.” The incarnation of Divine Love leapt into Mary’s womb like God’s all-powerful Word. And the tiny cells forming the heart of Jesus were the fire bursting into the milieu to fill all creation with His love. Let the fire of God’s love be done to us.
