A Christmas Video Reflection From Fr. Thomas Elitz, SJ

In this brief video reflection, Fr. Tom Elitz, SJ, parochial vicar at St. Raphael the Archangel Church in Raleigh, NC, reminds us that the broken sinfulness of this world did not prevent our Savior from coming into it. So too, we should not feel unworthy of God’s love because of our sinfulness and imperfection. Christmas assures us that Christ makes his dwelling place in places such as these. As we celebrate the birth of Jesus into our broken world, let us invite Him also into our broken, wounded hearts.
