    What Child is this? This, this is Christ the King!
    January 5, 2018
    The Epiphany of the Lord, which we celebrate today, is a feast older than Christmas. In many countries, this day (not Christmas) is the day for gift-giving in honor of the gifts received by the Christ Child. Why is this ancient feast so important in the life of the Church when most of society has already put Christmas behind them?

    This last day of the calendar year is the Feast of the Holy Family. On the first of January the Church celebrates the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God. Perhaps a reflection during this Christmas Season on “time” is appropriate. The poem and commentary by Wikipedia.

    The Immaculate Conception: the way humanity was meant to be
    December 8, 2017
    It’s a shame that people misunderstand the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. Let’s be clear: the Immaculate Conception is the Catholic belief that the Virgin Mary was conceived without original sin in the womb of her mother, Saint Ann. The Immaculate Conception has nothing to do with the conception of the Child Jesus or the visit of an angel.
