God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. (Nicene Creed)
Let us remember to slow down, and take the time to WAIT in joyful hope for Christmas...
and observe the season of ADVENT.

Did you ever ask yourself how Mary and Joseph must have felt? Were they confused?, anxious?, afraid?, full of joy? full of wonder?, Did you share some of these very same emotions when your child(ren) were conceived, or born?
