Ep. 78 | Christmas Is Too Big for One Day
from Meditations · host Called to More
It’s easy to feel that Christmas has already passed us by — but the Church insists otherwise. In this meditation, Fr Gavan reflects on the Christmas Octave and the wisdom of lingering with a mystery too large for a single day. Drawing on Our Lady’s quiet pondering of the events of Bethlehem, he invites us to let the visible beauty of Christmas lift us toward the invisible love of God Himself. As decorations fade and routines return, this reflection encourages us not to rush past Christmas, but to stay with it long enough for it to truly change us.🔴 THIS SERIESMeditations | Ep. 78Meditations is a weekly podcast with Fr Gavan Jennings produced by Called to More.
