The Christmas Child

That's the title of a song written by our choir director Dave Christi, c 1987. W e sang it along with many others at midnight mass last night.

Father George re read a homily, that still doesn’t make sense, even the second time around. He ended the sermon with “ Love Conquers All”
Toni Morrison, in an interview with AARP magazine about her new book, A MERCY, is quoted as saying
“ everyone knows that children don’ t feel any of this. ( racisim) You have to be instructed, told, It has to be reinforced.
Let me see if I can blend their thoughts together;

“A child is born on Christmas Day” “And if we only follow HIS way, we’ll see the light on Christmas Day.” LOVE CONQUERS ALL. Yes, all we need to do is love one another in the simple manner that Christ taught us to love one another. Not the romantic type of love that is known to disrupt our lives, but the AGAPE love, the love that a newborn child has for the humans that care for it during infancy, building trust and human love. Our little children learn to love- or hate. They are born with the ability to only love, adults teach little children to take the path to distrust and dislike.
“Traveling in the night from the plight of Herod’s men Three Kings close in on Bethlehem” our journey nears an end, and if we only follow HIS way, we will see the light, every day.

GOD and Christ, from my perspective, are one in the same. And, I also believe I worship the same GOD as my Jewish neighbors and my Muslim neighbors.
We are all searching for Good Orderly Direction
Merry Christmas
