Today is born a Savior, Christ & Lord
Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock. The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were struck with great fear.
The angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord.
"And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger." And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying: "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests."
LUKE 2: 8-14
We at Oklahomily hope that your celebration of Christmas is as joyful and triumphant as our Lord Jesus would have it to be.
With Midnight Mass coming upon us (three in our family are leading the music at our home parish) we need to spiritually prepare, so we are going to wrap up for at least 36 hours. Unless something big happens, there will be no updates on Christmas Day. If you stop by, enjoy the selection of Christmas oriented links. There's a lot of inspiring stuff that will absolutely make you feel better toward your fellow man.
May God bless you in this happy season!

A blessed Christmas to all!
