Holding Us Together This Christmas

Merry Christmas! As we celebrate the light and peace of the birth of Jesus, we're joyous, but we also wonder how much gentleness is in our world. Fr. Dan Riley, ofm, shares a reflection about coming together amid the brokenness of our world, including the story of St. Francis 800 years ago in Greccio, Italy. Opening music, "A Light Will Shine On Us This Day" and "There Is a Light," by Fr. Cyprian Consiglio (used with permission). Closing song, "Happy Birthday, Jesus," provided by students of St. Timothy Catholic School in Chantilly, Virginia. Produced Dec. 24, 2023. Podcast #282.
