SCHEDULE OF MASSES:Dec. 24th: 7:15 am, 5:00 pm, Christmas Carols at 9:30 pm with Vigil Mass at 10:00 pm Dec. 25th: 8:00 am, 10:00, and 12:00 noon . For our lives, incarnation means being focused on the spiritual and the eternal but bringing that focus deep into life. It also means having the capacity to be both carnal and spiritual, in love with life and yet able to connect with the eternal and the divine. This is really the heart of the Christmas theological message: Live in two worlds that overlap but are distinct. Don’t be a materialist, but don’t sacrifice your ordinary physical life for any spiritual ideal. Be lowly and lofty. If you take Christmas to heart and get past the anxieties in arranging for gifts and parties, you will rediscover yourself every year at this time and experience a birth in yourself, just like the one so beautifully described in the Gospel stories. It will be a celebration of both the birth of Jesus and the birth of your own soul. (https://www.franciscanmedia.org/the-true-spirit-of-christmas/)
