Merry Christmas

Humbly, a small gift for you, Merry Christmas:

God’s sign is simplicity. God’s sign is the baby. God’s sign is that he makes himself small for us. This is how he reigns. He does not come with power and outward splendour. He comes as a baby – defenseless and in need of our help.

He does not want to overwhelm us with his strength. He takes away our fear of his greatness. He asks for our love: so he makes himself a child. He wants nothing other from us than our love, through which we spontaneously learn to enter into his feelings, his thoughts and his will – we learn to live with him and to practice with him that humility of renunciation that belongs to the very essence of love. – Pope Benedict XVI

It’s Christmas Eve…

Someday Cancer Will Be "History"
Someday Cancer Will Be "History"

Received this email yesterday. This type of email arrives far too often, and I share only a fraction of them here….it’s Christmas Eve…

Dear Men of Holy Family,

I received bad news today that my wife Diana’s breast cancer has returned and the prognosis wasn’t very good. I’m told that when breast cancer returns to another part of the body it is not curable, so we can now only try to control it. She is scheduled to undergo chemotherapy again Wednesday morning in an attempt to lessen the pain and reduce the tumor. If she responds well to this treatment, then we can hope for a few more good years for her. If not, then time is not on our side. Please pray for Diana. Thank you for all of the support you have all given me and Diana during this difficult time.
