The herald angels sing, glory to the Newborn King!Father Anthony Gramlich, MIC gives us insight behind this beloved hymn, as we finally end our Advent journey to welcome Christ the Savior on this Christmas Day!On behalf of the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Merry Christmas to all!

Father Anthony reflects on John 14:25–27 & 33 — Jesus’ tender farewell words, promising the Holy Spirit who will teach and remind us of all He has said, and offering a peace the world cannot give, calming anxious hearts and strengthening us to trust, not in circumstances, but in the abiding presence of Christ. 

Father Anthony reflects on the scripture passage where Jesus raises the widow’s only son, revealing Christ’s deep compassion for human suffering. Fr. Anthony invites us to see how Jesus can also revive our own hearts when we feel weighed down, weary, or spiritually lifeless.
