In Nativitate Domini

Merry Christmas everyone!

The mystery of Christmas is upon us, the mystery of God's re-creation of our humanity through the Incarnation of the Word.

I have our midnight Mass tonight, for which I'm giving the homily I posted last year. I've never had a chance to offer it live, and I like it a lot.

For Mass during the day tomorrow, my homily is posted here.

  1. Merry Christmas, Father! Thank you for so generously sharing your homilies and thoughts.

    I hope that someday you do get some nieces and nephews so you can give them a toy Nativity scene. (Right now, a couple of knights and warriors have joined the shepherd and 3 kings in adoring Baby Jesus, along with a lion. Hopefully we won't be reenacting Holy Innocents Day....)

Faithful, or even just thoughtful criticisms are always welcome. Uninformed rudeness to other posters or to the Lord and His Church is not.

I also reserve the right to reject comments promoting things like private revelations and fringe points of view, if it seems to me like they are being presented in a misleading way.

If you raise a disagreement with something I say but I do not respond, please do not feel slighted or insulted, or imagine that this automatically means I disagree or agree with you. It's just that I don't find the comment box to be a constructive medium for certain forms of debate.
