December 24

“No one is excluded from the joy brought by the Lord. The great joy announced by the angels on Christmas night is truly for all people, both for the people of Israel then anxiously awaiting a Savior, and for the numberless people made up of all those who, in time to come, would receive its message and strive to live by it.”

–St. Paul VI

Today's Reflection:

We are the people who have received the message and are striving to live by it! But even more than 2000 years after Christ came, there are still people who haven't heard the Good News or have heard it and it hasn't taken root in their hearts. How can we better embrace and share the joyful truth in our daily lives, especially with those who might feel excluded or distant from it?
