Open Wide the Doors to Christ

"O Key of David, and scepter of the house of Israel: you open and no one shuts; you shut and no one opens. Come and lead forth from his prison the captive sitting in darkness and in the shadow of death" (Traditional "O" Antiphon). The title of this post was the theme of the new milleniuum when we went from 1999 to 2000. It was a Holy Year in the Church and the Holy Doors were open at various basilicas and churches throughout the world. The symbolism of the Holy Door is to open our minds and hearts to Christ. This is what we are doing as we prepare for the coming feast of Christmas. We are opening our minds, our hearts, our very lives to the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Our Lord will come inside and dwell in our very being. He is the Light of the world who will dispel all darkness. That is a gift that we need in our lives at all times! Do not be afraid to open wide the doors to Christ. He is Savior of the world, Prince of Peace. Our lives will truly be transformed. Let us not be afraid to open the door and welcome Christ because he will work in our lives in a very beautiful and special way!!! Have a blessed day!!!
