• Peter Kreeft on the Meaning of Christmas

  
  TitusOneNine — Authority: 584
  Let’s apply the spiritual sense of the Christmas story to our lives. For that story happens not only once, in history, but also many times in each individual’s soul. Christ comes to the world — but He also comes to each of us. Advent happens over and over again. Christmas is so familiar that we sometimes wonder ...

• A Prayer for Christmas Day (II)

  
  TitusOneNine — Authority: 584
  Most merciful God, who hast so loved the world as to give thine only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life: Vouchsafe unto us, we humbly pray thee, the precious gift of faith, whereby we may know that the Son of God is come; and, being rooted and grounded in the ...

• The Right Way to Approach Christmas

  
  TitusOneNine — Authority: 584
  No one can celebrate a genuine Christmas without being truly poor. The self-sufficient, the proud, those who, because they have everything, look down on others, those who have no need even of God—for them there will be no Christmas. Only the poor, the hungry, those who need someone to come on their behalf, will have ...

• He Condescended to Our Corruption

  
  TitusOneNine — Authority: 584
  For this purpose, then, the incorporeal and incorruptible and immaterial Word of God comes to our realm, howbeit he was not far from us Acts 17:27 before. For no part of Creation is left void of Him: He has filled all things everywhere, remaining present with His own Father. But He comes in condescension to show ...

• Amy Welborn: Benedict XVI and the Christ Child

  
  TitusOneNine — Authority: 584
  So in a meditation composed during his time as Archbishop of Munich, Joseph Ratzinger, beginning as he often does from something quite concrete, reflected on the devotion to an image of the Christ Child still preserved in a tree in Christkindl, placed there in the 17th century by a man suffering from epilepsy or, as ...

• Pope Benedict XVI’s General Audience On the Feast of Christ’s Birth

  
  TitusOneNine — Authority: 584
  In this Child, in fact, God-Love is manifested: God comes without weapons, without strength, because he does not aim to conquer, we could say, from without, but rather wants to be welcomed by man in liberty. God becomes a defenseless Child to conquer mans pride, violence and desire to possess. In Jesus, God took up ...

• Mark A. Hadley: A Christmas Carol for adults

  
  TitusOneNine — Authority: 584
  Dickens and Disney’s Tiny Tims both hope that those who feel pity for a poor crippled boy in church “… will think of Him who made lame men walk” at Christmas time. This was a lesson that Dickens meant for adults, as well as children. There is no separating the generosity we owe to others from the generosity ...

• From the Morning Scripture Readings

  
  TitusOneNine — Authority: 584
  It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be raised up above the hills; and peoples shall flow to it, and many nations shall come, and say: "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the ...

• The Archbishop of York’s Christmas Day Sermon 2009

  
  TitusOneNine — Authority: 584
  In the birth and birthplace of Jesus there is something which corresponds beautifully with his personal biography as well as the fortunes of his Gospel. Two thousand years on, he still comes waiting to find room. And there is scant room for him. The reason why Jesus cant find room for his Gospel – which he ...

• The 2009 Christmas Message from the Archbishop of Sydney

  
  TitusOneNine — Authority: 584
  For various reasons we have been talking a lot about leadership in Australia recently, particularly political leadership. We’re pretty tough on our leaders, aren’t we? I suppose it’s right to hold them to the highest levels of accountability but we also ought to be prepared to forgive, because leadership is ...

• The Archbishop of Canterbury’s 2009 Christmas sermon at Canterbury Cathedral

  
  TitusOneNine — Authority: 584
  Relationship is the new thing at Christmas, the new possibility of being related to God as Jesus was and is. But heres the catch and the challenge. To come into this glorious future is to learn how to be dependent on God. And that word tends to have a chilly feel for us, especially us who are proudly independent ...

• The Grand Miracle

  
  TitusOneNine — Authority: 584
  One is very often asked at present whether we could not have a Christianity stripped, or, as people who asked it say, freed from its miraculous elements, a Christianity with the miraculous elements suppressed. Now, it seems to me that precisely the one religion in the world, or, at least the only one I know, with ...

• Christmas Kisses

  
  Urban Ministry Live And Unplugged — Authority: 140
  Im not the kissing kind -- I dont go inviting kisses (some ministers do). However, this morning I was smothered with kisses, by both old and young. There has never been a Church service like it. It was extraordinary. One woman said, "No, thats not a kiss! Kiss me again!" OBSERVATION: I shall have to speak to our ...

• Sharon’s Christmas Prayer

  
  TitusOneNine — Authority: 584
  She was five, sure of the facts, and recited them with slow solemnity convinced every word was revelation. She said they were so poor they had only peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to eat and they went a long way from home without getting lost. The lady rode a donkey, the man walked, and the baby was inside the ...

• Christ Jesus Came Into the World to Save Sinners

  
  TitusOneNine — Authority: 584
  The message of Christmas for you from Christ this morning is that what is good and precious in your life need never be lost, and what is evil and undesirable in your life can be changed. The coming of the eternal Son of God into the world as the God-Man, Jesus Christ, is a fact of history. But thousands of Americans ...
