Christ our Savior is born!
 
Merry Christmas to you and your family. My mom and I went to Mass early this morning with a dear old priest named Father Elmer who is a spiritual advisor at the seminary where the Austin diocese sends its seminarians.
 
We picked up Marjorie on the way, and when we entered St. Louis, the parish looked beautiful with huge Christmas trees lit up, a large nativity scene, and very festive decorations all around. Father Larry and the staff at the parish really do a great job making Christmas reverent and joyful.

After Mass, we invited Marjorie to eat breakfast with us, which she gladly accepted. My mom made us sausage and omelets, and we drank lots of coffee! Afterwards we talked a lot in the living room and listened to a new CD my mom got for me with Latin singing of traditional songs (Pange Lingua Gloriosi, Veni, Creator Spiritus, etc.).
 
Here are a few pictures:

 

 
How blessed are we to have so many good things from the heart of our new-born King. Come let us adore him!
