Summary
This week in a Christmas special, Father Josh encourages us to pray with the Scriptures read during the Christmas Masses. As we listen to the genealogy of Jesus on Christmas Eve, he reminds us that Jesus came from a family of sinners and that Christ came to save all, no matter how great or how little the sinner.
Snippet from the Show
"Each and every one of us has a past and we shouldn't let our past mistakes dictate our future, our destiny, our calling to become saints in our walk towards eternity... God is bigger than our mess."
