This Christmas I pray that you all will be able to give thanks for everything that cannot be bought but that came at great price. The gift of a second chance. A second chance in the form of a babe. One of my favorite passages in Scripture is what Jesus said to the thief on the cross when He was crucified: "This day you will be with me in paradise". THIS DAY. The thief didn't attend religious classes, didn't go to communion or confession, didn't know the difference between a mortal or a venal sin. He didn't come from a long line of Christians. HE JUST BELIEVED. Two thousand and eight years ago, give or take, God became a babe to bring us back into a relationship with Him.
Merry Christmas!
