Simply Prayer: The Meaning of Christmas

  • St. Francis Center for Renewal 395 Bridle Path Road Bethlehem PA 18017 (map)

Advent and Christmas are such beautiful times in the year. We rejoice in the awareness of the Birth of Christ. Our homes are aglow, and words of joy and peace surround us in song. We miss the people who have gone before us, and we are grateful for our loved ones who are still in our midst. Our hearts are filled with warmth and delight. But have we pondered the true message of Christmas?
