This can be a day of deadlines, last minute cooking, decorating, even shopping. It can also be a day of gratitude as we go about these tasks, reflecting on the goodness of God to come and "visit his people", to shine a light upon them and bring them peace, the ultimate peace, a peace the world cannot give. This morning over 200 men will gather to reflect on the meaning of Christmas, to sing carols and share fellowship around a breakfast table. What a beautiful way to set the tone for the rest of the day. Some families will attend Mass this evening, some at Midnight which captures the beauty of a silent night, where choirs, not unlike the angelic choirs, will sing glory to God and urge all to come and adore. O happy night, O blessed night when Christ was born, O night Divine! Let us make this day special, and our "running around" or even work, a prayer of thanks for the incredible wonder of God With Us.
