Christmas Contrasts and the Paradox of Love
Father C Farrel reflects on Christmas as a study in contrasts from humblest manger to divine omnipotence. He compares Bethlehem’s squalor with heavenly glory, and notes how God’s love explains the paradoxes. The sermon links Mary, Jesus, Herod, and modern life in Gillespie County to urge meditation on love.
