Holiday Music

Christmas Music.  Some of it we have heard in stores for months. Even while out enjoying Italian food lately, I heard the common Christmas carols. It seemed so out of place. However, hearing a Christmas concert in a Church setting was resplendent. It was enchanting, hearing songs from all over the world. The concert ended with O Holy Night and Night of Silence. They deeply affected me. I was moved to tears. The words and melodies of these songs tell me why we do celebrate Christmas.  Having the image of Joseph and Mary finding a place to give birth to our Savior is a stunning one. How fortunate we are, to still have this vivid image, the son of God being born, saving all of us, sharing His Spirit among many. God Bless You on this night before Christmas.
