Our Promise Of Consolation

^{Sermon From Midnight Mass
Christmas 2013}
The three Masses of Christmas each recall a different aspect of Our Lord’s birth – the Midnight Mass recalled the eternal begetting of the Son from the Father, the Mass at dawn His birth in the world, and the third Mass recalls His birth in our individual souls.  In His incarnate Divine Son, God now has human feelings, and when we look into the face of the Christ Child we look into the face of God.  Christmas is not the end but the beginning.  It is the first step of our Redeemer’s mission, and it points towards that day when the angels will announce the definitive victory of Christ over evil.
