The Christ Mass is a glorious season! I rejoice that it is not yet over, as we move from the western celebration towards the celebration of Eastern orthodoxy' Christmas, the western Feast of Epiphany. For without the Incarnation, there can be no Atonement through the Cross; and without Incarnation, there is no real victory in Christ's resurrection.
It is sad that, for so many western Christians, Christmas is a difficult or, sadly, a meaningless time. Yes, is is made into something else by the world.;but is is still the ancient, Christ Mass: the feast of wonder at the coming of God as man: becoming as we are, that we might become as He - our Lord Jesus Christ - is.
As we come through the New Year, we continue with the joy of Christmas. May the joy of Christmas celebration continue with you for many days to come.
