Homily from the Nativity of the Lord (Christmas).
The reality is that God is not a professional. He is an amateur.
There are many things in life where we merely like the "idea" of that thing. The reality is another story, because the reality makes demands on us. Christmas is a reminder that we not only cannot love the "idea" of God, but that He does not merely love the idea of us.
