A Christmas Message

Fr. Willie Doyle, a Jesuit and World War I chaplain for the 16th Irish Division, wrote a wonderful letter at Christmas to his sister. The letter spoke of his deep thoughts about his life as this chaplain, which he said he "dreaded most" and "was angry" at Our Lord for sending him to that Front.

He tells of some truly gruesome moments, but then blesses us with his true point: sacrifice yourselves, in union with the Divine Babe, the Divine Victim; let this be your gift to Jesus in the manger.

We invite you to share this video with your family and friends.
