`Out of love for us, he took upon himself our human condition, our fragility, our vulnerability and he opened up for us the path that leads to the fullness of life to a share in the life of God himself.
As we ponder this great mystery in our hearts this Christmas, let us give thanks to God for his goodness to us and let us joyfully proclaim to those around us the good news that God offers us freedom from whatever weighs us down: he gives us hope, he brings us life.`
Pope Benedict XVI on Thought for the Day 24.12.10
A very Happy Christmas to you, Father, and to everyone in your two parishes, with gratitude for the beautiful presented churches, fitting for the celebrations of this blessed time.
