Immer wieder wird er Mensch geboren, spricht zu frommen, spricht zu tauben Ohren, kommt uns nah und geht uns neu verloren. Immer wieder muss er einsam ragen, aller Brüder Not und Sehnsucht tragen, immer wird er neu ans Kreuz geschlagen. Immer wieder will sich Gott verkünden, will das Himmlische ins Tal der Sünden, will ins Fleisch der Geist, der ewige, münden. Immer wieder, auch in diesen Tagen, ist der Heiland unterwegs zu segnen, unseren Ängsten, Tränen, Fragen, Klagen mit dem stillen Blicke zu begegnen, den wir doch nicht zu erwidern wagen, weil nur Kinderaugen ihn ertragen.

Sempre de nou neix com a home, parla a pietoses, sordes orelles, se’ns apropa i de nou el tornem a perdre. Sempre de nou s’ha d’aixecar solitari, portar la fretura i la nostàlgia de tots, sempre de nou és clavat a la creu. Sempre de nou Déu es vol anunciar, vol vessar el que és diví a la vall dels pecadors, encarnar l’esperit etern. Sempre de nou, també en aquests dies, el Salvador està de camí per beneir, amb el seu tranquil esguard remeiar les nostres pors, llàgrimes, problemes, planys, l’esguard que no gosem retornar perquè només uns ulls d’infant el poden suportar.
