Venite, adoremus Dominum!
“And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host,
(Luke 2:13-15)
praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favours!” When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us”
May the Newborn bestow upon you His gracious gifts of love, joy and
peace, and may the splendour of this holy night dispel any darkness of
sadness and sin, so that we may now sing along with Mary, Joseph, the
Angels and Shepherds: “Gloria in excelsis Deo et in terra pax hominibus
bonae voluntatis” ,
and in eternity: “Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus”!
With my best wishes,
Father Peter Jurzyk
