Bishop Hying was on Morning Air on Relevant Radio, speaking about the meaning of the word “Christmas” and how its meaning impacts our celebration of the holiday! The English word “Christmas” simply means “Christ’s Mass,” linking the birth of Christ to the Mass, in which Christ is made present to us in the Eucharist. As we prepare to celebrate the birth of Christ in one week, consider spending some time in front of the Blessed Sacrament, going to daily Mass, or simply praying with the mystery of the Incarnation. And, as Bishop Hying suggests, remember that these final days of Advent are a wonderful time to go to confession!
