Keeping Mass in Christmas Keeps Christ in Christmass

Once again as advent winds down we approach Christmass, waiting in anticipation. We have hopefully spent a little more time in prayer, gave a little more of ourselves and our resources, and perhaps received the sacrament of penance more often. The ultimate purpose of advent being to "prepare Him room" in our hearts and once again with joy celebrate the coming of the God of the universe into our world, taking human flesh from Mary and showing us the way back to heaven. It all started in Bethlehem, the House of Bread and continues today through His coming to us in the Breaking of the Bread, the Eucharist.

For my non-Catholic brothers and sisters:

To fully keep Christ in Christmass, why not celebrate the mass of Christ this year? The liturgy of the Eucharist is designed with the whole purpose of bringing us to Christ, uniting us to his sacrifice for us. What better way to keep Him in Christmass than celebrating with the Mass of Christ? There are plenty of masses on the vigil of Christmass as well as Christmass day. Go to Mass Times here, find a nearby Catholic Church (they are everywhere, be assured) and quietly give homage to the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. Though you are not Catholic, or have left the Church, you can still benefit from a spiritual communion without partaking of the Eucharist.
Perhaps this will be the year that you will come home for Christmas.
