“What can I give to the king?” The best gift we can give
to our king is a good liturgical celebration. To have this good liturgy we must
be humble in following the norms. Saint Josemaria said: “We will never have
genuine joy if we do not really try to imitate Jesus. Like him we must be
humble.” Christmas is a season to reflect on the mystery of God becoming Man, “do you see
where God's greatness is hidden? In a manger, in swaddling clothes, in a
stable.” The mystery is humility! The holy humility that leads to our salvation!
The same we must do, give the best liturgy to manifests the sacred
mysteries, the mystery of God's humble desire to become Man so that the God-Man may save men. “To remind a Christian that his life is meaningless unless he obeys
God's will does not mean separating him from other men,” follow the liturgical
norms - for it is a way of humility - you follow God. Many people will not understand you, even your parish
priest, but this is our job, our ministry, our life. We cannot cheat of one’s
birthday, we must be honest and true. Therefore, I again invite you: the best
gift we can give to our king on his birthday is none other than a good
liturgical celebration. The fruits of good liturgical celebration are genuine act of Humility and of Christian Charity...
