Christmas Eve
The Vigil -is the only which, in
its original form, is celebrated by
divine service at midnight. Because
Christ was born at midnight the
church has always celebrated this
hour with prayers and canticles of
praise.
On this Holy Eve, the faithful
should, with renewed ferver, increase j
their longing for the coming Messiah,
by a greater spirit of penance. Christ
mas gifts should be received as actual
gifts from Christ Child, for if He had
not come into the world, there would
be no Christmas gifts. These tem
poral gifts should remind us of the
far more precious gifts of grace
which-Christ brought from heaven.
The Christmas tree, hung with
candles, fruits of all kinds, and sur
rounded with gifts, has a beautiful
meaning. It reminds us of the tree
of pride and disobedience in Para
dise, . whose fruits brought sin and
death into the world; but it also re
minds us of the tree of life, the tree
of humility and obedience that sprang
into life through the Incarnation of
Christ, and on which the Redeemer
purchased grace for us. From this
tree the light of faith and the dif
ferent forms of grace are imparted
to the faithful. For this light , of
faith, for these gifts of grace, the
Christmas tree admonishes us to
thank the dear Christ Jesus.
The crib which is set up at Christ
mas time owes its origin to St. Fran
cis of Assisi, who lived in the thir
teenth century.
Our friends are welcomed to come
and visit our church and see the beau
tiful crib. You are also invited to
come to our services.
I wish you all a happy a'nd Joyful
Christmas.
ADOLPH M. MOSLER.
