What a beautiful reflection. God’s light shines in the darkness. Don’t these feel like dark times and yet there is light, in faith, and in loving humans who still exist and I’m guessing count higher than unloving humans. And- in and through our new Pope! Oh- is he ever a light! Merry Christmas and thank you for this Substack.

God bless you Christopher! I think, on this day, how Christ was kept in the pit on the night before His death. In the security of Mary’s womb He awaits for His birth into humanity !!

Chris your practice of going to midnight Mass alone made me think of how I love being alone in my church when it’s empty and the lights are low. It’s beautiful and peaceful. I feel Jesus even more by myself. I didn’t always go to mass for a long time. But I still prayed daily. God’s light is everywhere and we just need to feel it and welcome it.
