Christmas Day 2013

Christmas Day – Wednesday 25th December 2013

 A Saviour has been born to you

The angel said: “I bring you news of great joy, a joy to be shared by the whole people. Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.” The message of Christmas is a message of joy. Many of us experience it as such but we very soon go back to our ordinary ways of living.  As Christians the joy of Christmas is given to us in faith so that others may experience joy also because of us. We cannot afford to go back to joyless living. We need to stretch ourselves to let the joy of this very special time grow and develop in our daily lives so that the world can be filled with the radiance of Christ. We do this through the quality of joy that we develop in marriage and family life. We do it also through the sense of joy that we work at in our faith community. This week we can practise joy in our lives so that it will become infectious for all those around us.

Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.
