Cardinal Roger Mahony joined Rev. Jose Magana at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church in North Hollywood to celebrate Christmas Day Masses with parishioners who felt the spirit of the day, and the church’s Contemporary Ensemble raised their voices in joyous music.
“On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day the whole world stops to welcome the mystery of God dwelling on our midst,” Father Magana said before the service. “The gift of Christmas is celebrated so different by so many cultures and peoples, but the message is the same at its core. God wanting to bring salvation to us all and in a human and fragile way. So what does that mean for me as a pastor, fellow Christian, and member of the larger world family? I am called to uplift the brokenness that I experience in others and embrace God in their midst. I pray we may be a bit kinder and more loving to all.”

The liturgical Christmas season for Roman Catholics, and also some other Christian church denominations, begins with the Nativity of the Lord and ends with the Baptism of the Lord, Jan. 11. The Christmas season also includes Epiphany, traditionally observed on Jan. 6 — when the Magi or the “three wise men” — are said to have arrived at the Nativity in Bethlehem after following a star, according to the gospel of Matthew 2:1.
