"Joy is the true gift of Christmas, not the expensive gifts that call for time and money. We can communicate this joy simply: with a smile, a kind gesture, a little help, forgiveness. And the joy we give will certainly come back to us.…Let us pray that this presence of the liberating joy of God shines forth in our lives."
Pope Benedict XVI (12/18/05)
The joy of this season is radiantly reflected in the Hallelujah chorus of Handel's Messiah. Enjoy the music and enjoy the gifts of the season, my friends.
