Summary: Homily from the Christmas Eve Mass. "I have to ask you this. Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? Can you say, 'YES! I am friends with God!' Because brothers and sisters if I can’t say yes to that question, you know what Christmas means to me? It’s nice, it’s cute. But if I can say, 'Yes, I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ,' what I’m saying is, 'Christmas CHANGED my life. God took on flesh so that I could hold on to Him. God took on flesh so that He could change my life and I could meet Him.'"
