Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock. (Mt 7:21, 24-27)

Tonight we celebrate the Little Candles that light the way for the Virgin Mary, whose feast day is December 8th. She brings us her Son, Christ, the Lord, to be born in us. Saint Ambrose (339-397) brought Christ to birth in Saint Augustine (354-430).
