Christmas should inspire us to fight even harder to save babies from abortion

God took on a body at Christmas, and became visible, so that love could become visible. It is the incarnation, a word coming from the Latin "in carne," which means, "in the flesh." Christmas is God in the flesh: no longer only an eternal Spirit who fills the universe, but our brother, whom we can hear, see, and touch. By having his own blood, he could shed it for us. By having his own body, he could offer it on the cross for us.

God becoming visible at Christmas is not only a blessing we receive; it is an obligation we accept. In receiving the one who took on a body precisely to sacrifice it for us, we accept the duty and privilege of sacrificing our own bodies, possessions, and lives in order to love one another, especially the oppressed, first among whom are the unborn.
