Merry Christmas!

Trite as it may sound, we all need to keep shouting this greeting to all we encounter, as a serious part of our Christian witness. The forces of evil are using their best endeavors not only to hijack, but also to do away with Christmas.
Today, the Feast of the Virgin of Guadalupe, patroness of the Americas, I am minded that it was her timely intervention that wrested Mexico from its dark satanic past. In 1487, just in a single 4 days long ceremony for the dedication of a new temple in Tenochtitlan, some 80,000 captives were killed in human sacrifice. If Christians in America today continue to take the line of least resistance, we may inevitably find that we too will be sacrificed on the altar of political correctness.Merry Christmas! Indeed! (Happy holidays………bah, humbug!)
