The joy of Christmas is the intuition that all limitations to growth into higher states of consciousness have been overcome. The divine light cuts across all darkness, prejudice, preconceived ideas, prepackaged values, false expectations, phoniness and hypocrisy. It presents us with the truth. To act out of the truth is to make Christ grown not only in ourselves, but in others. Thus, the humdrum duties and events of daily life become sacramental, shot through with eternal implications. This is what we celebrate in the liturgy. The kairos, "the appointed time," is now. According to Paul, "Now is the time of salvation," that is, now is the time when the whole of divine mercy is available. Now is the time to risk further growth.
I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation.
2 Corinthians 6:2
