Nativity of Christ (artist unknown)
Having wrapped her sweetest Son in clean, fine strips of linen brought from Nazareth, and having laid Him in a manger within the cave, the blameless Mother and Handmaiden of the newborn Child worshipped Him as God and Creator; of which the blessed Joseph the Hymnographer sings to the Immaculate One, “Holding God in thine arms and bowing before the Lord incarnate, kissing maternally Him Who was clothed in human likeness, O Maiden, thou didst say, ‘O my Child most
sweet, how is it that I hold Thee Who holdest all creation in Thy hand?’” We know with certainly that as the divine Maiden fell prostrate before the Babe lying in the manger and worshiped Him, the celestial powers invisibly surrounded her, filled with amazement, for the Holy Church proclaims, “The angels encircled the manger as though it were the throne of the cherubim, regarding the cave as heaven and gazing upon the Master, Who lay therein.”

If the universe as we know it is really populated with at least 7 different types of Alien beings with their own race histories and different ways of living. Some, if not all are then millions of years more advanced than our own Earth races. How then do we explain to them our belief systems, our spirituality, our one Lord Jesus Christ? Or are they already aware of His Universal presence, His gifts of Grace and love. ???
I don’t know about alien races, I have enough with my own salvation, however, God is bigger than any of us can imagine and if those worlds exist, I trust that He knows best for them. I don’t speculate. I pray for faith.
