The Nativity of the LORD

Meister von Hohenfurth 002

May all readers and customers have a very blessed, and peaceful, celebration of the Nativity of Christ.

Meditating on the first antiphon of Vespers yesterday, Rex pacíficus * magnificátus est, cuius vultum desíderat univérsa terra, one cannot but be struck by the need of metanoia and the urgent need of the world to turni to Christ with the daily headlines of wars, the genocide in Gaza, piracy on the high seas, the corruption and venal greed of politicians etc, etc.
