Merry Christmas! Today, the Savior is born and God’s peace has come to reign upon the earth! My wish for you is that your holiday be filled with joy, laughter, smiles, love, and happiness.
The Christmas Gospels offer us many important lessons about the person of Jesus – who he is, what his heritage is, and how his birth came about. In the midst of our Christmas joy, we still need to ask ourselves who Jesus is to each one of us? Is he important to us beyond this day, this week, this season? And are we willing to take the time to get to know him better – to invite him into our hearts, our homes, and our lives?
The Christmas Gospel for the Vigil:
Matthew 1: 1-25
