Many church sanctuaries will be full this weekend. Especially on Saturday – Christmas Eve – pews might even be packed. I’ll go out on a limb and predict that Saturday night will be a bigger draw than Sunday morning.
Even for those with minimal understanding of or devotion to Jesus, Christmas draws us in. It could be the music, the children, the candles, the Eucharist. It could be the familiar story. It could even be the promise that something holy could happen and some of us long for the holy.
May something holy happen to us in the days to come. Or maybe I should say, it would be amazing to have something holy happen to us again this weekend.
Holy Christmas to you.
