033 - The Feet of the Eternal Father Part 2

In Bethlehem, we delve into the profound mysteries of the Three-and-Thirty Years of our beloved Lord, exploring them from various perspectives. We can examine each mystery individually, appreciating its unique grace and beauty, or we can categorize them into joyful, sorrowful, and glorious groups, each with its own distinct characteristics. Alternatively, we can observe them as interconnected constellations—representing the Childhood, Hidden Life, Public Ministry, Passion, and the Risen Life—each offering a richer unity than simple classifications. This treatise invites us to compare and contrast these five constellations, revealing the deep theological and devotional insights they hold. Drawing upon a poetic inclination, I refer to these constellations by the names of Bethlehem, Nazareth, Galilee, Calvary, and Gennesareth. While these names may not be strictly accurate, they serve my purpose well. I encourage readers to engage fully with this work, as some parts may be misunderstood without full context. Ultimately, I hope this treatise ignites the spirit of Christmas in the hearts of all who listen.
