Merry Christmas! God’s entrance into the world through the Incarnation allows us to penetrate the ways of God. The humility of Christ to enter our humanity creates the capacity for us to share in his divinity! Is there room for God in our world today? Is there room for Christ in our hearts? Please take time to listen for the voice of God throughout this holy season. If you were unable to attend Mass this Christmas, remember, each day in the Octave (eight days) is the same as Christmas. Find a church and go to Mass in the coming week. Spend time with the Gospel story of the birth of Christ which is found at the beginning of Luke’s and Matthew’s Gospels. Let this Word of God become flesh in you! Please take time to listen to the readings from Mass today, along with the homily provided below. Peace and Goodwill to all! +pde
