Subject: [TAC] Daily Excerpt for December 25 2006
Date: December 23, 2006 09:17 pm

Today's excerpt is from Pope St. Leo the Great:

"Dearly beloved, today our Saviour is born; let us rejoice. Sadness should
have no place on the birthday of life. The fear of death has been
swallowed up; life brings us joy with the promise of eternal happiness.
No one is shut out from this joy; all share the same reason for rejoicing.
Our Lord, victor over sin and death, finding no man free from sin, came to
free us all....And so at the birth of our Lord the angels sing in joy:
Glory to God in the highest, and they proclaim peace to men of good will
as they see the heavenly Jerusalem being built from all the nations of the
world. When the angels on high are so exultant at this marvellous work of
God’s goodness, what joy should it not bring to the lowly hearts of men?
Beloved, let us give thanks to God the Father, through His Son, in the
Holy Spirit, because in His great love for us He took pity on us, and when
we were dead in our sins He brought us to life with Christ, so that in Him
we might be a new creation. Let us throw off our old nature and all its
ways and, as we have come to birth in Christ, let us renounce the works of
the flesh. Christian, remember your dignity, and now that you share in
God’s own nature, do not return by sin to your former base condition. Bear
in mind who is your head and of whose body you are a member. Do not forget
that you have been rescued from the power of darkness and brought into the
light of God’s kingdom." (From a Sermon [Office of Readings])

God Bless.

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us!

St. Gianna Beretta Molla, pray for us!
