Original sin has wounded us all and makes us prone to sin. In that sense, sin is our natural state and it’s only through the gift of God’s supernatural grace that we can overcome it. And we all know how often we fail. Or maybe we don’t. Maybe we’re a bit blind and deaf to the darkness we carry around inside us. --Tiber Judy

"Star of the East" is my favorite Christmas song. It was written by Amanda Kennedy and published in 1918, Unlike shallow, insipid songs like "Holly Jolly Christmas" that are blared at shoppers in every supermarket and department store at this time of year, "Star of the East" offers hope in troubled times, as it did in 1918, a time of violence, pestilence and turmoil on a global scale.
