Some Insights from the University of Creighton's Online Ministries:
Christmas is not the last day of Advent. It is a real season of the Church year. We usually miss it because the consumer society that some of us live in has nothing to offer us, except for days to return gifts. Too often, within days after Christmas day, the decorations are down and it is over.
This
year, let's try to really celebrate Christmas and the days that follow.
Let's enter a new Season, which has its own spirit and desires and
graces.
Special
Feasts begin the season and we continue the story, so that we enter
more deeply into the story of Jesus' coming to be one with our life,
but also that we might enter more deeply into how Jesus comes this
year to bless each of us.
