Note: The Christian Men's Breakfast did not begin until 7:30 and concluded around 8:45...too late for me to find a computer and create a slice of bread before 9:00 am. I don't have the internet on my phone as many people do. Next year I will write before I go to the breakfast.
And speaking of the breakfast, it was the largest group ever: 224 men, most of whom were in their early 20's to early 40's. Some had their young sons, as young as three dressed in suit and tie! The faith that was evident again underscored the power of the birth we celebrate. Our God comes to us as a baby. born in a stable, worshipped at first by simple shepherds. The baby Jesus in most crèches lies on his bed of straw with arms outstretched to embrace ALL. Pope Francis has addressed his cardinals and all of us with a call for childlike simplicity and simple faith that overflow into service to one another. The call is clear: imitate this childlike simplicity and live it not just for Christmas Day, but for all days of the year. What are we going to do tomorrow that will reflect what we celebrate today?
