The title of this podcast may seem somewhat strange.
But I meant it to sound that way. Follow along with me and you will see what I mean that Christmas opens our eyes and our hearts as well as touching our humanity in a profound way.

The fourth Sunday of Advent brings us not to the birth of Christ but to those nine months after his conception.
Mary, the living tabernacle of the Lord, went on the first Eucharistic procession. She carried the Saviour to the house of Zechariah and Elizabeth.
John the Baptist leaps for joy in his mother’s womb and Elizabeth is filled with the Holy Spirit and recognises the mother of her Lord.
Also, we are reminded that the perfect obedience of the incarnate Son of God is the cause of our joy, our praise to God, and our thanksgiving.

The beautiful and uplifting tones and sights of Gaudete Sunday lift our hearts and summon our minds to the nearness of Christ's nativity. We begin to experience the joy of all those who surrounded the birth of Jesus: His holy Mother and His earthly father, the shepherds and the Magi, and the angels who rejoiced in heaven. Although we have to contain our joy, for the day has not yet arrived, it is right and fitting that we rejoice with all our heart.
