Open wide the door to Christ...

     "Be not afraid... 

open wide the door to Christ.

... become the saints 

of the new millennium."

 Pope St John Paul II

 

"Do not be afraid of Christ!

He takes nothing away and 
He gives you everything.

When we give ourselves to Him,

we receive a hundred-fold in return.

Yes, open, open wide 

the doors to Christ -

and you will find true life." 

Pope Benedict XVI
Requiescat in pace

Seventh Day of Christmas

The Food of Angels, here...

 "He is the Bread sown in the virgin, leavened 

in the Flesh, molded in His Passion, 

baked in the furnace of the Sepulchre,

placed in the Churches, and set upon the Altars, 
which daily supplies Heavenly Food to the faithful." 

 St Peter Chrysologus

O beata infantia
Chant for the Christmas season
_____

O blessed Infancy, 

by which the life of our race

has been restored!

O very dear and delightful cries,

by which we have escaped 

eternal lamentation!
O blessed swaddling clothes,

with which the defilement of our sins

has been wiped away!

O splendid manger, in which 

lay not just the hay of animals,

but in which was found 

the Food of Angels!
