Monday 7th Day of the Octave of Christmas Yr C.

Brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, Christmas should be a time of great joy and celebration. It should be a time in which we reflect upon the nativity of Christ the Lord. We should read the story, listen to Christmas music and not set that all aside until our Christmas season is over. But as we do all of that, we should always keep before us the fact that Christmas is a great mystery of faith.

In particular, the mystery of Jesus being the "Word of God" who was right frinbthe beginning.  Let us reflect, today, upon this language of St. John. “In the beginning was the Word…” “The Word was God…” “The Word became flesh…” Let us know, this day, that we do not fully know this mystery and as we face this reality, let's allow the Eternal Word to draw us in one step deeper.
