Hallelujah! Merry Christmas to all my wonderful readers and fellow bloggers! On this Christmas morn, take time to reflect on the the great mystery of the incarnation, the magnum mysterium, and praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who sent His Son as light to conquer the darkness of sin and death.

- O magnum mysterium,
- et admirabile sacramentum,

- jacentem in praesepio!
- Beata Virgo, cujus viscera
- meruerunt portare
- Dominum Christum.
- Alleluia.
