friendship

Just as the shepherds took turns guarding their sheep, you and I also have to watch over others so that everyone can receive the announcement: the Good News that the angel brings also depends on our vigilance. Watch over others as a premise to receive Christ. That is why our relationship with the Lord is inseparable from charity, from fraternity. Like the shepherds, we need simplicity to receive the announcement. Simplicity that is a consequence of our effort, accompanied by grace, to think more about others. This allows us to be more sensitive to God's calls. The more attentive we are to those around us, the more able we will be to listen to the Lord.
