“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder, 
and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, 
Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” - Isaiah 9:6

Christmas is one of the most important days of the Church year, second only to Easter itself. It is the feast of the incarnation, the feast of God becoming flesh. It is a uniquely Christian teaching, the Divine choosing to become one of us. Because of this belief,God is not only Transcendent, but also wholly Immanent, Emmanuel - God-with-us.. 

“May Christ's peace and hope be with your family now
and in the days ahead
may His love warm your hearts
may He give you a spirit of wisdom.”
