The Light of Christmas: Reflections on the Season of Advent and Christmas

The Light of Christmas focuses on several themes dominant during the Advent season-hope, preparation, joy, and love. We hope for the fullness of God in our lives by our own intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. God is born within us through the birth of the Christ-child, and we prepare our minds and hearts for this experience just as God prepared the way to Bethlehem. When we experience the incredible gift of Christmas, we are filled with a deep, profound joy because we know with certainty that God's unconditional love is for each of us.
