The article presents the homily for midnight mass on December 25, 2010, the Feast of the Incarnation of Christ, based on the Catholic Bible's Book of Isaiah, Saint Paul's Letter to Titus and the Gospel of Saint Luke. It explains that the greatest hindrance to man's true relationship with God is fear, like the shepherds who were told not to be afraid by angels who appeared before them. It reminds the faithful that Christmas is not just a celebration of Christ's birth 2,000 years ago but of how His birth brought salvation to mankind.
