Christ is born! Glorify Him!
Whenever we celebrate the Eucharist, we remember this perfect offering of Christ spoken of by St. Paul. This remembrance is called anamnesis, through which we do not simply recall all of God’s saving deeds but have the opportunity to enter into them.
As we continue to celebrate the Feast of the Nativity this week, take some time to meditate on its meaning and importance in the plan of salvation and give thanks to God the Father for His perfect offering of His Son, Jesus Christ, through whom we have been sanctified.
