"Re-Reading the Infancy Narratives: Israel/Palestine Today," a three-session webinar series of talks, focuses on the biblical texts of the Infancy Narratives with Fr. David Neuhaus, SJ.

These three sessions propose a close reading of the texts we find at the beginning of the Gospel according to Matthew and the Gospel according to Luke.

Nativity scene

As we enter the joyous season of Christmas, we are reminded of the immeasurable gift of God’s love, made known to us through the birth of his Son, Jesus Christ.
 
This sacred season also recalls the tireless zeal of St. Francis Xavier, who carried that same light of Christ to distant lands, proclaiming the Good News with joy and courage. His missionary spirit inspires us to share the peace and hope of Bethlehem with all whom we encounter. Today, that legacy lives on through the Jesuits — and through friends like you — who help make Christ’s love known throughout the world.
 
Inspired by his example, we invite you to help us continue spreading this spirit of unity, peace and joy. This Christmas, your gift supports the Jesuits in their mission to serve for the greater glory of God. We are deeply grateful for your unwavering generosity and prayers.

Erik Oland - GIF-VEED

“Minuit chrétien” performed by Jean Gardy Joseph, SJ. Originally from Haiti, he is currently doing his regency with the Jesuit Refugee Service in Montreal.

Fr. Erik Oland, SJ, sings "Corde Natus Ex Parentis," a 4th century text by Prudentius with music from the 11th century recorded at the Chapel of the Holy Name of Jesus (Faber Jesuit Community at Boston College).

"Begotten of the Father’s love before the world was made, called Alpha and Omega, he the source and end of all things that are, that were, that shall be; evermore and evermore. 2. O blessed birth, when the Virgin conceiving of the Holy Spirit brought forth our salvation, when the Child, redeemer of the world, lifted his sacred head: evermore and evermore."

Élizabeth Vachon and Fr. Gabriel Côté, SJ, perform “Soul of Christ,” a prayer from the early 14th century attributed to Saint Ignatius of Loyola and composed by Marco Frisina.
