Blessings For A Merry And Holy Christmas

Please accept our video wishes for a warm and joyous and Holy Christmas. We hope this Advent has been a meaningful time as prepare our hearts to welcome our Lord and Savior. While this season has much secular fun and frolic — fellowship with family and friends is not to be discounted — we pray that the glow from the Christmas Season remains in all of us throughout the year, that it especially transforms those who only know Christmas for its secular celebration into God loving and committed Catholics. For those who once knew the joy of the Church, and celebrate only in a perfunctory way twice a year, we pray that you come home for good. It is up to all of us to do our own part, to reflect Jesus in every way, in order to bring His light to others now, in December, and throughout the year. We cannot ever forget the joy of Christmas is that Jesus came to die and atone for our sins. The wood of the manger is the wood of the Cross.

From Brother John and myself, and the Real Catholic team, we wish and pray for all God’s Blessings upon you, now and in the year to come. Please enjoy the following videos to help put you at peace through these frantic times, to reflect as Advent ends and the Joyous time arrives!

We expectantly wait. We look to rejoice. Oh, Come! Oh Come, Emmanuel!

Silent night, Holy night! Let the peace of it overwhelm you with joy.

He came so that man would no more die. How great a gift!

Celebrating Advent

The national holiday season, Thanksgiving, is over. Now we enter into the holy day season, Christmas. Or, more precisely, we’re in Advent, preparing for the joyous day of the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Here is a beautiful video, from Totus Tuus Productions/YouTube, that explains Advent and our liturgical and worship traditions.

The reason for the season is Christ and the season is Advent.

Rejoice in the Lord for the gift of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Here are the lyrics to the beautiful Holy, Holy Queen Enthroned Above:

Hail, holy Queen enthroned above, O Maria. Hail, Queen of mercy and of love, O Maria.

Triumph, all ye cherubim, Sing with us, ye seraphim, Heaven and earth resound the hymn:

Salve, salve, salve Regina!

Our life, our sweetness, here below, O Maria! Our hope in sorrow and in woe, O Maria!

Triumph, all ye cherubim, Sing with us, ye seraphim, Heaven and earth resound the hymn:

Salve, salve, salve Regina!

To thee we cry, poor sons of Eve, O Maria! To thee we sigh, we mourn, we grieve, O Maria!

Triumph, all ye cherubim, Sing with us, ye seraphim, Heaven and earth resound the hymn:

Salve, salve, salve Regina!

Turn then most gracious Advocate, O Maria! Toward us thine eyes compassionate, O Maria!

Triumph, all ye cherubim, Sing with us, ye seraphim, Heaven and earth resound the hymn:

Salve, salve, salve Regina!

The cause of joy to men below, O Maria! The spring through which all graces flow, O Maria!

Angels, all your praises bring, Earth and heaven, with us sing, All creation echoing:

Salve, salve, salve Regina!
