Christmas Day Reflection.|Grotto illustration for the Christmas reflection that reads, "'Behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.' —Luke 2:10."

Authentic joy comes in a form we would never expect: a newborn baby, who arrived 2,000 years ago and who still comes into our lives during Christmas and every day of the year.The lights we decorate with at Christmas are just a tiny glimpse of the real light the birth of Jesus brought into the world.This Christmas, let us open our hearts to receive this gift and become a reflection of the light to a world in need of the hope and joy of Christmas.
