and when her neighbours and relations heard that the Lord had shown her so great a kindness, they shared her joy.
There’s nothing greater than sharing our joys and sorrows with people whom we love and who feel the same way about us. It brings to mind a Swedish proverb: shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half a sorrow.
We are almost on top of Christmas which is the day most families get together to celebrate the joy of Christmas. Nothing is more joyous than welcoming Baby Jesus into the world and nothing gives me more of a buzz than welcoming Him during Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. I am grateful that He chose to be born and my prayer is that I, and everyone in the world, never lose the joy of Christmas as we share it with friends and family.
