The little infant was happy to dwell in the womb of his mother for 9 months. That was his cave but not like ours who move in this world's cave blinded by darkness that wants to choke our lives. The womb of the Virgin Mary became "larger than heavens" as the Byzantine liturgy reminds us. Christ came to redeem and to restore to his Father the entire human race. About 2000 years ago he was born in a cave too in the town of Bethlehem surrounded by his mother the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph, and simple shepherds who welcomed him with their sheep while the arrogant Herod, probably many today, could not rest when he knew that the Messiah was born there. If kings from the East worshiped Jesus Christ in the manger, why do we hesitate?
To all the faithful, and not only to the Knights of Columbus, I say "Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people" (Luke 2: 10). To men who read me, I invite you to join our Council of the Knights of Columbus because you will benefit and will benefit others in the faith and charity of the Lord. Open your hearts. Come out of the cave. The Lord is here!
