Day 1: 12 DAYS CHRISTMAS SERIES.
How many times have you
heard it said ' Christmas is only one day'?
As we know this is correct
if we think of Christmas day only. Liturgically however, the season of
Christmas commences on Christmas Day and closes with the feast of the Epiphany.
Christmastide is the second most important feast of the liturgical year, with
the Pascal mystery celebrated at Easter being the number one place. However,
Christmas is vital, because Christ took on our flesh and came into the world to
save us- that is what Jesus means- God saves.
In this series, the Twelve
Days of Christmas, I will offer a Christmas reflection and I hope that you will
experience the season of Christmas both liturgically and in your life.
CHRISTMAS REFLECTION
A CHRISTMAS BLESSING.
May
you hear the wonder of angels
in
the conversations of 'shepherds'
May
the bright star light illuminate your quest,
may
wise people gift you from their treasure.
May
your trust be as convinced as was Mary's
and
your faithfulness be as sure as Joseph's.
May
love enfold you as an infant's wrap
and
smile upon you in every endeavour
And
stretch to reach out
to
uphold you in all that life brings.
May
you know the strength of joy
The
serenity of Peace
The
possibilities of Hope
