Happy Feast of the Holy Family! Today is the "Fifth Day of Christmas" within the ChristmasOctave. Like Easter, "Christmas Day" is eight days long, a celebration that brings each year to an end and begins the next.
We continue to rejoice in the Birth of Jesus during these days and beyond. The glory of God's infinite merciful love is made manifest in the birth of this Child, the Word made flesh who has come to redeem and transform us.
May the light of Christmas continue to shine in our hearts and sustain us in whatever circumstances we face. Jesus has come to be with us!
