It knows how to give fleeting glimpses of happiness, it immerses us in short-lived periods of emotional highs but it does not know how to give us happiness that remains. Happiness that turns into lasting joy. Basically, I think it's because our world, despite its protestations to the contrary, really doesn't know how to party. Read more

Many of us, if we are honest with ourselves, will admit that we often put money, or the things that money buys, before God. It is no wonder that this mentality has extended even to the celebration of the miracle of God being born on earth to a poor, young Jewish girl in a stable.

Last updated on: December 17, 2014 at 10:30 am By Sr. Theresa Aletheia Noble
