Christmas Eve
Chapter 66
The Rule of Benedict December 24
As we celebrate the Nativity of Our Lord tonight, there will inevitably be those who come to our parish for the first time. Many various needs will be present in these and all who attend our celebration of this great feast. In the spirit of today's reading about Benedictine hospitality, let us seek to put into practice an attitude of kind welcome with "meekness inspired by the fear of God and with the warmth of charity." It may be as simple as looking into the eyes of a stranger and giving silent thanks to God for the blessing of her presence.
