Merry Christmas!



Christmas is upon us like a Trump train steaming down the track to a 2020 landslide. So here's a couple of prayers to ground us in the mysterious joy and glory of the day:


O GOD, who makest us glad with the yearly remembrance of the Birth of thine only Son Jesus Christ: grant that as we joyfully receive him for our Redeemer, so we may with sure confidence behold him when he shall come to be our Judge. Who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end.

O GOD, who hast enlightened this most holy night with the beams of thy one true light: grant, we beseech thee; that we, who have known the mystery of his light on earth, may also attain to the fruition of his joys in heaven. [Who.]


With the beams of thy one true light. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.

Wishing you the most joyful and merry Christmas,

LSP

A blessed Christmastide to you LSP!

Sang the Anton Diabelli Mass at our Tridentine High Midnight Mass. Got to bed around 3:30 Christmas morning. All the kids and grandkids came over yesterday for gifts and feasting. Watched "It's a Wonderful Life" last night, and will watch the 1938 Reginald Owen "Christmas Carol" tonight. Life is good.

Jealous of your Mass, Dad, and congrats on the day!
