The True Joy of Christmas

Father Justin challenges us to look beyond the surface of our holiday celebrations and discover the deeper, truer joy that can outlast the parties and decorations. The incarnation—God becoming flesh—changed everything. The God of Jesus Christ is no distant deity, but a God who is 'always and everywhere present,' inviting us to surrender to Him. This realization transforms our understanding of spirituality. No longer confined to specific religious activities, our entire lives become pathways to experiencing God's presence. Christmas means God's love permeates all of existence, so we can 'depart from our anxiety into His peace' in every moment.
