Commentary: Some kin are coming into town, so for the next several days it will be exceedingly difficult to stay current with the daily Mass readings—like today's triple helping!—, much less any personal reading; so, I am taking a sabbatical until their departure, after which I shall commence reading the Gospel according to John.
Merry Christmas!
