Will We Use Christmas In Our Lives?
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Christian traditionally celebrated Christmas for many days, Advent as a season of preparation for Season of Christmas, Christmas Day the beginning of Christmastide, with the first eight day (The Christmas Octave) each being Christmas Day, and concluding this time with the Season of Epiphany. There is tremendous wisdom in using these days for a time of contemplation, meditation and worship. We celebrate the beginning of our Salvation in Christ.
Mary, the Mother of Jesus, gives us a wonderful example of why we must hold on to Christmas. It is written in St. Luke’s Gospel:
Mary kept all of these things and pondered on them in her heart.
St. Luke 2:19
Life gets rough, but if we keep Christmas in our thoughts and ponder on them often, we will get through all things, no matter how difficult life gets!
Remember, it is the same Mary who would hold her son 33 years afterwards after He died on the Cross!
Christmas can get us through anything, and we will rise with Jesus in the Resurrection!
We need Christmas everyday of our lives!
Christmas Blessings!
