The Sixth Day in the Octave of Christmas

Readings for Todays Homily


Yesterday it was Simeon in the temple; today it’s the prophetess, Anna, in the temple – presu   She speaks of wonderful things about this child Jesus who was presented in the temple.

We are in the sixth day of our celebration of Christmas.  In the Alleluia verse, we heard “A holy day has dawned upon us.  Come, you nations, and adore the Lord.  Today a great light has come upon the earth.”

May you and I focus today, once again, on the light that has come to overcome the darkness, the light that has come to save us from our sins.
