Book: Galatians

The Christian celebration of Christmas extends well beyond the limits of its cultural and commercial celebration. As the world is quick to abandon the celebration of Christmas, the holidays become absent of joy – because they are starving for truth. They are held by a pagan law, spiritually starving. At Christmas, in Christ’s Incarnation, we boldly proclaim the miracle that sets us free from the law of sin and fills us with eternal joy, because joy doesn’t come from a holiday, but from Christ himself.

On this Sunday we observed the Feast of Saint Mary the Virgin (the Assumption of Mary in the Catholic tradition). Listen as the Bishop-retired reflects on the Virgin Mary’s incredible purity, virtue, and integrity, and how a proper understanding of her is an antidote to this sinful age.
