Good morning friends. We invite you to join Fr Eduardo Nunez OMI in the Oblate Parish of Darndale-Belcamp, for our morning prayer today.
We often see Christmas in a very romantic way. And today’s gospel shows the other side of the coin. The first Christmas, the biblical one, was anything but pleasant and sentimental. A long walk for a pregnant woman in the ninth month of her pregnancy due to a census conducted by an oppressive government.
No room in the inn. Jesus born in a filthy and stinking stable. And then the tragic murder of the innocents that followed. And then a fly-by-night to Egypt. Nothing cozy here. Christ was born and found in the midst of crisis and disaster.
Today the gospel speaks of an experience that is repeated over and over again in our society. The innocent are despised. Mistreated and killed. Today, our prayer is for all those who suffer for different reasons.
