"This is the day our Saviour was born: what a joy for us, my beloved! This is no season for sadness, this, the birthday of Life. That Life annihilates the fear of death and engenders joy, promising, as it does, immortality ... nobody is an outsider to this happiness. The same cause of joy is common to all, for as our Lord found nobody free from guilt when he came to bring an end to death and to sin, so he came with redemption for all ... Let the saint rejoice, foe he hastens to his crown; let the sinner be filled with joy, for pardon is offered to him; let the gentile be emboldened, for he is called to life."Pope Saint Leo the Great
During the coming Christmas season
May you be blessed
With the spirit of the season, which is peace,
The gladness of the season,which is hope,
And the heart of the season,which is love.
