How consoling it is to know the telephone number of a friend, to know good people who love us, who are always available and never aloof: at any time, we can call them and they can call us. This is precisely what the Incarnation of God in Christ says to us: God has written our names and phone numbers in his address book! He is always listening; we do not need money or technology to call him. Thanks to baptism and confirmation, we are privileged to belong to his family.
