Random Thought 1: Tuesday I will have a new sermon for Christmas Eve or day so you can hear my Christmas sermon. 

Random Thought 2: Christmas time always brings me back to my childhood, at seven years old I became an altar server, which at that time required me to learn all the Latin responses for the Mass. That introduced me to the wonders of the liturgy and its meaning. I love Christmas even more than Easter. Christmas, seems to me, more emphasizing the human side of the Savior while the Passion and Easter are more about his divinity. Both events, of course, are the pillars our faith. It is around these pillars that the liturgy and the scriptures rotate to fill us with the life of Christ. So let us celebrate the Incarnation when our Lord became one like us and went on show us how to live in our human nature.
