Holy Day Divine Liturgy of the Mass – The Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ II

TODAY: Christmas is upon us! We begin our celebration of the Twelve Days of Christmas, recalling on this First Day the birth of Jesus, the mystery of the Incarnation of the Eternal Word of God within the human flesh created by God in the very image of God. St. Stephen’s wishes all who pray with us on this Feast Day a blessed Christmas. We pray that the wonder of Christmas will be a time of renewal for us as we pray and praise God together, sharing the wonder and awe of the Blessed Mother as we recall the depths of the love of God for the whole world. Christ is born! Glorify him!
