Commentary: The Mass, "the source & summit of Christian life," gets its name from the end of the proceedings, when the faithful are sent to carry the Good News into their daily lives, back into the world from whence they came. A deacon of my acquaintance, a gifted & delightful public speaker, ends the Mass with a particularly emphatic command to "Go!" As we conclude the Christmastide, I urge you to go forth always in the Christmas spirit, to share with all you encounter the Good News of the Savior's birth.
"Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere,
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born!"
