For us lucky Catholics, the Christmas season continues through Evening Prayer II of the Baptism of the Lord, which we celebrate next Sunday, January 10. How wisely the Church provides for us! She knows that in order to fully celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, we need the gift of time to treasure all these things in our hearts, as did Mary, His Mother. May we use well this second week of Christmas to ponder anew the wonders of His love.!Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, our glory is to stand before the world as your own sons and daughters. May the simple beauty of Jesus' birth summon us always to love what is most deeply human, and to see your Word made flesh reflected in those whose lives we touch. Amen. ~from the Roman Missal
