Christmas Mass

For several years now, it has been our family's tradition to hear Mass at Century Park Sheraton. Mass would usually start at 10 AM of December 24. Today was no different. With sleepy heads, we headed to Sheraton.

On the way to Mass, I remembered the painting shown by Fr. Jojo, Retreat Master of my recent Advent Recollection, showing a town filled with people clad in coats and walking on the snow filled streets. What I didn't know was that, on one of the horses was a couple carrying a baby. As it turns out, it was Jesus, Mary and the baby Jesus. It gives me goosebumps whenever I remember the painting. So powerful was the message of how Jesus quietly came into this world and how He made such a huge impact on mankind.

Merry Christmas everyone!
