When my friends recently celebrated the birth of their daughter, I was blown away by how the arrival of a baby is a visible sign of God's love. My friends are enriched by their baby's presence and attuned to her many ways of playful expression. Witnessing the depth of their appreciation for their new child and their unconditional love for one another, I have been struck by how Our Lady must have loved the Christ child. The tender care of a mother caressing her infant and enfolding love into its very being, is something sacred and holy. It gives further depth to the meaning that to see is to have, to see a mother loving her child is a practical manifestation of the binding love of God, present in our world today.
