Shepherds; poor, unprivileged, vulnerable and ordinary people. God chose them to be the first to hear the news of Jesus’ birth. In hearing, seeking and finding they knew God.
--Reflect on those poor, unprivileged, vulnerable and ordinary people in your life. How are you being asked to give God to them?
--Hearing, seeking, finding. What are the shepherds inviting you to be as you pray with their identity and mission?
--Ponder: “Let us go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened that God has made known to us.” (Lk. 2:15)
Dr. Damian Zynda, director of Ignatian Identity, has developed this meditation for our prayerful use during the Christmas season.
