Summary

Homily from the Nativity of the Lord (Christmas Mass).

At Christmas, in our lives, and in the Mass...God becomes small enough to ignore.

God is closer than we think. But the ways that He draws close to us is that He comes so close that we can miss Him and He becomes so small that we can ignore Him.

Mass Readings from December 25, 2022:
Isaiah 62:1-5
Psalms 89:4-5, 16-17, 27, 29
Acts 13:16-17, 22-25
