Everyone's singing carols and Christmas hymns and getting in the spirit; I did too this evening, and loved it, beautiful. I like Adeste Fidelis, O Come, All Ye Faithful, what words! Lo he abhors not the Virgin's womb, or the refrain itself, O come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant.
There's a grandeur, magnificence and intimacy to that. At least there is for me, the joyful swell of the faithful greeting the Word made Flesh, come into the world as a baby. The gates of hell, says the word, will not prevail against such a thing.
Here's a different expression of the same mystery, from Russia.
Fools have thought throughout history that they could take on Russia and win. They've thought the same thing about the Church, the Mystical Body of Christ, and they've always lost. I'll resist the temptation to comment on the satanist, John Podesta and Team Clinton.
God bless,
