12/25/24 Face to Face: Two Words

Homily from the Nativity of the Lord (Christmas).

The one who has gratitude has enough.

At the moment we get to stand before the Lord face to face, what will the automatic and overwhelming response be? Will it be a word of love? Of contrition? Or will it be two words that summarize everything that could be said to the God who has used everything to get us ready to stand before Him?
