As we celebrate the birth of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on this beautiful day, I want to wish all of my readers, both regular and irregular a very Merry Christmas to you and your family.

It is my joyful hope that this Christmas fills you with love, happiness, and joy. This is the time of year when we come together with family and friends to reflect upon the meaning of Christmas, that is God took upon human flesh and was born of the Virgin Mary. Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, came down upon this Earth to redeem us all from the fires of Hell if we but believe in Him and follow Him.

There are many people who deny Our Blessed Lord, and by doing so deny God the Father. We should remember that without Jesus Christ, His saving graces through Baptism, and membership in His Holy Church, there is no salvation. Thus, it is crucial that we proclaim the Good News that Jesus Christ is born and has given us all a chance of redemption to eternal life. We must proclaim His name from the rooftops. We must bring others to Jesus so that they too may have eternal life.

Live a good and holy life, and may Christ bless and keep you this day, and every day this year.
