At Christmas Eve Mass last evening we listened to St. Matthew’s account of the birth of Jesus and to the words of O Holy Night: A thrill of hope. The weary world rejoices. For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Today we celebrate the audacious claim that through the love of God, the Word became flesh. That God’s longing for us is so great God became human to bring us to wholeness. God becomes human and shares our lives in the deepest, most intimate possible way.
And that is something that demands a response from us. So as we kneel before the creche this morning, we might want to reflect on what that response is.
Creo en Dios! 
I hope that Elena did that as a solo.
Merry Christmas to David, Elena and to you, Susan.
Xmas blessings, Susan, to you and yours!!
