Let us make it real for us now. Let us make Christmas all about the coming of Jesus anew for each of us personally. The German mystic Angelus Silesius said, \u201cChrist could be born a thousand times in Bethlehem \u2013 but all in vain until He is born in me.\u201d<br>\nOnly in the encounter with our weakness will we be open to God. Therefore, may we allow Jesus to be reborn in our hearts and lives, not only during Christmas but every day. May He radiate the Light of his presence from within us as sharing and selfless love, expressed in compassionate words and deeds, unconditional forgiveness, the spirit of humble service and, overflowing generosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf we allow God into our hearts and into our world, if we allow Christ to live in our hearts, we will not regret it: we will experience the joy of sharing his very life, as the object of his infinite love.&#8221; ~Benedict XVI, Holy Mass with Dedication of the Church of the Sagrada Familia and of the Altar, \u200b\u200bNov. 7, 2010<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/bishops-blog-moving-ahead-and-looking-back\/copy-of-christmas-hearth\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-13858\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Copy-of-Christmas-Hearth.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13858\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>\n<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This Christmas, we want to celebrate the birth of Jesus, no longer in the manger of Bethlehem, but this time, in 2020, in the midst of the most challenging circumstances many of us have ever experienced, may he be born in the manger of our own hearts.<\/span><br>\n<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How can all this happen?

Here are a few highlighted in my blog during the year that I\u2019d like to encourage you to visit; if you have not already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USCCB Fall General Assembly<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) gathered for the 2020 Fall General Assembly from November 16-17 existed this year in a virtual format. While I admit I enjoyed attending from the comfort of my office without traveling, I did miss the personal interactions and conversations with my brother bishops. Dialogs, which usually occur during the general meetings, in small groups, during breaks, or during evening receptions, an essential and fruitful aspect of the mission of the USCCB, were sorely missed. However, I am still Impressed by the breadth of what we were able to cover and accomplish\u2014-continually grateful for today\u2019s technology.&nbsp;<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/bishops-blog-usccb-2020-general-assembly-meeting\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read more about my experience in the November 25th blog<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><br>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/bishops-blog-awards-giving-and-st-joseph\/pope-pius-x-awards-2020\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-13522\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Pope-Pius-X-Awards-2020.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13522\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">December 1, 2020, Pope St. Pius X Youth Award (virtual) ceremony<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pope Saint Pius X Youth Awards<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Tuesday evening, December 1, I had the honor of conferring the Pope St. Pius X Youth Award on forty-seven worthy recipients.
