The Gospel of Christmas Day | Part 5

Daily Catena

Throughout the Octave of Christmas, we will look at the parts of the Gospel for Christmas Day in sequence. Today’s exposition will focus on the words:

He was in the world,

and the world came to be through him,

but the world did not know him.

He came to what was his own,

but his own people did not accept him.

But to those who did accept him

he gave power to become children of God,

to those who believe in his name,

who were born not by natural generation

nor by human choice nor by a man’s decision

but of God.
