Sunday Meditation: The Christmas Star Is a Sign of Hope -- A Virtue We Need to Embrace Enthusiastically!

NASA tells us that on December 21st a spectacular event will take place in the heavens. Jupiter and Saturn will align in "the great conjunction" to create the "Christmas Star" for the first time in almost 800 years. 

The last time the joint planets dazzled the world occurred during the Middle Ages on March 4, 1226. What a blessing to be gifted with this awesome sight, not in March, but in Advent on the cusp of Christmas! Coming at the end of such a challenging year, it offers a brilliant sign of hope.
