6th Day Christmas novena "Look for your star"

 

DONKEY, MULE AND OX

Oooh, here we are with the classic contempt: they are animals... what do they know? They don't know anything, they have no feelings... and a long etc. in which human empathy is conspicuous by its absence. The truth is that we can proudly say what an important role we animals have... Remember that we were created before you... and if not, let's look at Genesis...

The idea was basically that you would take care of us, you would be in charge of the creation so that everything would work "well"... I don't know, are you doing it right? We are aware of our place, our role in the cycle, our role for others... but... I don't know if you humans are quite aware of all this...

That Jesus made it clear... he wanted to be born in the place where we live... he came triumphantly into Jerusalem on the lowly animal... he didn't enslave us, he put us at the mercy of the Lord… he put us at the service of the Gospel and dignified us with his constant winks to make us participants in his message...

Although, as usual, you are so fond of the limelight... we are aware of our place in history and of our role... We know we were not the most important... but you know what the master said... "Whoever wants to be the most important of you... let him be the servant of all". We are the animals (donkey, mule and ox) and who are you?

Have you felt the presence of God in the acts of service you have done?
