The Shared World

The Shared World / At Christmas, we celebrate with great joy the story of Jesus’ birth. In this humble and loving act, we see the ultimate example of a missioner. He came to share in our humanity. He came to build a personal relationship with each of us. Just as Jesus crossed the great boundary of heaven and earth to be with us, so are we called to break down the barriers between us and our brothers and sisters in Christ.
