** "And in that region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. And the angel said to them, 'Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people; for to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

And this will be a sign for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.' And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased!'"
Luke 2:8-14 ([link removed])

With the dawn of redeeming grace...

(12/17/23) column: "In 1816, near the starving and ruined city of Salzburg, Austria, a 24-year-old priest named Joseph Mohr suffered, along with his parishioners, in the wreckage of the Napoleonic Wars. In that suffering, Father Mohr wrote a poem about the birth of Christ. Two years later, before midnight Mass on Christmas Eve 1818, Father Mohr asked his friend Franz Gruber, a church organist in a nearby town, to set the poem to music and write a guitar accompaniment because the parish organ had been damaged by flooding and the church was too poor to fix or replace it. The song these two young, ordinary men struggling through difficult times created is a simple tune with simple lyrics. Yet it has been sung by billions of people in all kinds of places — churches, battlefields during Christmas truces, television specials — and by singers of all types and intensities of religious belief...The song and the event it celebrates also emphasize our shared history and brotherhood with the other 1.5
billion Christians, as well as everyone else on the planet, each of whom — like us — is making their way to God as best they can. When we think about it that way, whatever fears we have recede into insignificance. The problems of the day are seen as just that: the problems of the day. What happened on Christmas — what we celebrate every Christmas — is so much bigger than all of our troubles. Father Joseph Mohr and Franz Gruber, who suffered through greater difficulties than most of us, understood that. So should we all."
