Today too those who await him, who seek him in their lives, encounter the God who out of love became our brother ? all those who turn their hearts to him, who yearn to see his face and to contribute to the coming of his Kingdom.

Jesus himself would say this in his preaching: these are the poor in spirit; those who mourn, the meek, those who thirst for justice; the merciful, the pure of heart, the peacemakers, and those persecuted for righteousness? sake ( cf. Mt 5:3-10 ).

They are the ones who see in Jesus the face of God and then set out again, like the shepherds of Bethlehem, renewed in heart by the joy of his love.

Den Gott, der aus Liebe unser Bruder geworden ist, finden auch heute jene, die ihn in ihrem Leben erwarten und ihn suchen ; jene, die ihm ihr Herz zuwenden, verlangen danach, sein Antlitz zu schauen und zum Kommen seines Reiches beizutragen.

Jesus wird es in seiner Verkündigung selbst sagen: es sind die Armen im Geiste, die Notleidenden, die Sanftmütigen, die nach Gerechtigkeit Hungernden, die Barmherzigen, die, die ein reines Herz haben, die Friedensstifter, die um der Gerechtigkeit willen Verfolgten ( vgl. Mt 5,3-10 ).

All diese werden in Jesus das Antlitz Gottes erkennen und wie die Hirten von Bethlehem mit einem von der Freude seiner Liebe erneuerten Herzen nach Hause aufbrechen.
