Stories from Christmas, including how an Old Bay ornament made its way to our tree

God knows how the Infant Jesus will capture our attention—if we just let Him.

On this feast of Christmas, and in the year ahead, we should ask our newborn Savior,
‘the light of the world,’ who ‘enlightens everyone coming into the world’ (Jn. 8:12;1:9 ), to bring the eyes of our soul clearly into focus, indeed, 20/20 focus.

As we gather with our family and friends this Christmas season to celebrate the blessed birth of our Savior, let us be mindful of our privilege as Christians to care for the poor, the downtrodden and all those subjected to isolation and neglect.
