Daily Readings

A Reflection from a daily devotional called, From Season to Season

"Christmas is more than just a celebration for  children. The truth of Christmas is that we encounter Christ in person; our God is no far-off deity who has no experience of our lives. Our God is truly God, but He is also a man who is all that we are. The fact of the incarnation has changed our lives: The Lord has come to free us from sin and death. Experiencing Christ's presence through the Church and her signs, 'we recognize in Him God made visible'" (pp. 243-4).

"Beloved, our Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Creator of all things, today became our Savior by being born of a mother. Of His own will He was born for us today, in time, so that He could lead us to His Father's eternity."  (St. Augustine of Hippo)

+In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
