Merry Christmas?
(Written on December 26, 2020, the Feast of St. Stephen, the first martyr for Catholicism.)
Midnight Mass.
Protestants and Catholics hold religious services on Christmas Day with all the pomp and pageantry that only they can bring to these ceremonies. And as you watch the ceremony and listen to the beautiful singing while enjoying the colors of the season, it is all really empty. Empty because the participants in these ceremonies, and the leaders of the various churches and congregations, have ignored the weightier matters as did the Pharisees and Scribes in the time of Jesus. (See Matthew 23:23.)
