Within the Christmas story there are also moments of terror

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The Christmas story includes moments of doubt, questioning, and uncertainty, as God often moves in unpredictable ways that can turn our world upside down. The priest Zacarías, who would become the father of John the Baptist, questioned God's plan when the angel Gabriel announced his son's birth. His disbelief led to a harsh reaction from the angel, who reminded him of God's past miracles and power. It's important to have the eyes to see and ears to hear God's language in our lives, even when his interventions may seem impossible. We must be prepared for God to take us in unexpected directions and trust in his faithfulness.

The story of Zacarias and Mary in the Bible teaches us about God's discipline and blessing. Zacarias was disciplined by God for questioning His plan, but this was a time of reflection and preparation for him to fulfill God's will. Mary, on the other hand, asked a practical question about how she would give birth despite being a virgin. She showed a humble and willing heart to accept God's plan, even though it would bring challenges and criticism. As Christians, we should also have a humble and willing heart to accept God's plan for our lives, even if we do not fully understand it.

The Christmas story teaches us important values through its characters. Zacharias teaches us to believe in the impossible and not to limit God. Mary teaches us to have an attitude of preventive acceptance and to submit our will to God's will. Joseph teaches us to maintain values of mercy, love, generosity, and to take the high ground in difficult situations. We should incorporate these values into our lives and trust in God's plan for us, even in difficult times. We should expand our capacity to experience miracles and be a protagonist in God's drama on Earth. May the peace of the Christmas story rest on our hearts.

How many have ever felt doubt in their life in their spiritual career? How many have experienced questioning and not knowing exactly what God is doing in your life at a given moment, when everything seems to go gray and God doesn't make sense, and you think they are getting on you? some charges that you did not originally agree to when you signed at the bottom of the page saying you were going to enter the Gospel. You did not agree to get involved in these things, but God is putting you in, for the moment you discover yourself in something that you do not know how it will end and you feel uncertain about whether you are capable of going through that moment that God has given you. is going through.

And you start to doubt and ask questions and question yourself and maybe even question God and you find yourself in a terrible bind and you say how is God going to get me out of this mess I've gotten myself into, where is God going to get me out of this mess? God the rabbit in the hat? and we ask questions of the Lord.
