Homily given at the 8:00 p.m. Mass on
Monday, December 24, 2012, the Vigil of Christmas, by Fr. Ed Fride,
Pastor, Christ the King Catholic
Church. We don't come together simply
to commemorate what happened in Bethlehem long ago, but because we
want Jesus to be born more deeply in us. We need to take this time
of grace and peace to draw closer to Jesus, so that the Light that
shines in the darkness will shine through our lives to others, both
now and in times of darkness.
Key words: Christmas, surrender
to God, trust
