“Christmas… Christmas! You, Lord, are so innocent!” At the end of this tribute to the Baby Jesus and his Virgin Mother, accept a gift! At the behest of Mary, it will be an occasion of great graces for you! In a certain sense, the most important and most sublime of graces. Among all the videos already published, it is the best Christmas present! If innocence enhanced by wisdom is a gift for you, distribute this gift in abundance: it will multiply in your hands… and grow in your heart! In the Christmas series that began on the Solemnity of Christ the Kingdom, this is the eighth video. By the Day of the Kings, by the favor of Our Lady, two more will be released, thus surpassing the announced goal. The description of this video is the text itself: During Christmas 1975, Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira gave a lecture on the restoration of innocence. Primitive innocence or springtime innocence is the impulse of the soul in search of something to admire, says Doctor Plinio. This natural impulse toward the marvelous is sublimated by grace in Baptism. Innocence is the élan toward the highest, the supremely high, the infinitely high, the Absolute. Rectitude of the sense of being, innocence always seeks the sublime, it is the most dawning ray of love for God. Let us observe the innocence of Saint Therese. Her wisdom is only her developed innocence. Yes, according to Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira, sublimated innocence is wisdom, the supreme gift of God. Such explanations would inspire a Pope, in the Kingdom of Mary, to grant Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira a title of glory: Doctor of Innocence. Unlike the innocent, the innocent prefers the pleasant to the marvelous, abandons wisdom and rejects God. Grace, however, always accompanies and always invites the prodigal son to return to his father's house. This return is the restoration of innocence, towards the acquisition of wisdom. Restoration, said Doctor Plinio, is superior to progress. Here, in this sense, is one of the most profound, beautiful and simple prayers that came from his heart during that conference, given two days after Christmas in 1975. Model and source of innocence. Beautiful as lightning, the sun of flashes, the Child Jesus can be invoked as a model and source of primeval innocence. When we worship Him in His manger, how beautiful it is to say to Him, through Our Lady: “Lord, you are so innocent and I am in this state. Give me a spark of your innocence and I will be the most innocent man on earth. Regenerate me, my Lord, through the prayers of Mary.” @ChristmasOfTheChildrenJesus @Wisdom @Innocence @Christmas… Christmas!
