This night a child is born...

Merry Christmas!!! On this most holy of nights, all the hustle and bustle of the world comes to a stop as we pause to welcome Christ into the world. On this evening, businesses close early, families gather together and the churches are filled for the Midnight Christmas Mass. On this night, we stop to reflect in awe on the magnificant and unique moment in history when the Eternal God emptied himself and became a man, being born of Mary as a tiny infant. On this night, our salvation dawned as the Divine shared in our humanity so we in turn could share in His Divinity.

On this night, we pray in thanksgiving for the tiny infant born of a young mother, Mary. On this night, we also pray in thanksgiving for ALL unborn children and for those who are with child that they may choose to bring life into the world just as Mary brought Life into our world on this night!

Have a Blessed and Merry Christmas and may God bless you.
