Monday - Fourth Day of Christmas 28 December 2020 Sometimes on Monday, I will cruise through some churches that have online worship services as part of my morning prayers. I used to attend Grace Episcopal Church in Traverse City, Michigan. Fr. Jim Perra gives us an excellent message on the meaning of Christmas ... The message starts with the reading of the Gospel at 14:30 and finishes around 28:20. Secondly, I heard on Christmas Eve morning PDT, His Holiness Pope Francis , and his message for this mass.  "For us ..."  "For us, for me, for you ..." "You are God's" His message begins at 38:57 in Vatican News' English version of his Christmas Eve mass. May these be a blessing to you.
