Christmas thoughts...

From the Introit:

"Why do the nations rage,

and the peoples contemplate worthless things?"

From the Prefatio:

"...the new light has shone in our hearts,

so that we...

may be caught up with love for things unseen."

A very merry Christmas to all of you, in Canada, the US, the UK, Limerick, Dhahran, and Istanbul.
