Morning Prayer December 27th, Feast of Saint John the Evangelist

With Br Barry Noel

Good morning friends. We invite you to join Br Barry Noel who is a member of the Presentation Brothers community, for our morning prayer today.

If we try to understand Christmas outside the event of the resurrection, we shall remain in the dark! The resurrection of Jesus from the dead helps us to see more clearly the significance of the Christmas event. If Jesus had not died and risen from the dead, Christmas would have no meaning for us.

Christmas and Easter illuminates the core of our faith that Jesus is both human and divine. He came to share in our humanity so that we could become divine and live with the triune God. The Feast of Saint John,the Evangelist is celebrated in the Christmas season to remind us of our calling and responsibility to give witness to Jesus.

Thank you for joining us and we hope you have a happy, joyful and peaceful Christmas.
