Like in any other household, also a priest’s one is not immune against the practical consequences of the festive season – so the last shopping spree secured enough stock to survive the coming days of Nativity. And one can sense that “business” is dying down – less emails except for all the good Christmas wishes – less phone calls – it seems that a day before the “Heiligabend” everybody is indeed concentrating on his or her own business to finalize whatever is outstanding…
My sermons are prepared – for Christmas Day as well as the Feast of the Holy Family – and also most other urgent office stuff is attended to… so tomorrow it will be a more quiet day in preparation of the big feast. What is more to say? Just that I wish all readers a Merry Christmas – may the blessings of this feast be felt for you all still in the new year – and may you enjoy hours of joy, peace and harmony with whomever you chose to celebrate these days. And may the world take a deep breath and stop all violence and wars during this festive season.
May the death toll on our streets in SA decline and may most people only start drinking after the midnight service.. 🙂
