Duration: 27 min 51 s
Description: At Christmas we are accustomed to giving gifts. After all, the wise men brought gifts to the infant Jesus. But the first Christmas gift was Christ himself, a gift from the Father. In this meditation we consider how we can respond to this great gift in Advent as Mary and Joseph, the shepherds and the wise men did, through our life of prayer, self-denial and charity.
