Tom Finneran: Keeping the Holiday Spirit Alive Year-Round

Friday, January 11, 2013

 

Last Sunday’s Mass was the Feast of the Epiphany. You’re familiar with the story: the journey of the Magi, the three kings or wise men, and their search for the “newborn king,” bearing gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. For non-Catholics, it is known as the twelfth day of Christmas, or Little Christmas.

The tree is usually taken down, the Christmas lights are stored away, and the miracle of Christmas, the miracle of light in the midst of darkness, begins to fade from our minds.

Unless, unless...

Little Christmas

When the song of the angels is stilled,

When the star in the sky is gone,

When the kings and the princes are home,

When the shepherds are back with their flocks,

The work of Christmas begins:

To find the lost,

To heal the broken,

To feed the hungry,

To guide the children,

To rebuild the nations,

To bring peace among brothers,

To make music in the heart.

-Unknown

Peace on earth and goodwill to all. May you and your family celebrate the joy of Christmas throughout the year.
