Commit to Silence in the Final Days of Advent, by Constance T. Hull

By Constance T. Hull, Catholic Exchange - It is not too late to slow down and enter into silence in preparation for Christmas. Now is the time to shut the door to our room and commit to silence. If we have time to shop, then we have time to spend a few minutes in silence before the Tabernacle or at Adoration. If we have time for Netflix or Facebook, then we have time to open the Bible to pray with God’s Word in silence... The Lord rewards our efforts. He ultimately leads us to grow in prayer through silence. He will prepare our hearts to receive Him at Christmas if we commit to silence for the next few days.

Congress Tries Giving Itself $69,000 Raise for Christmas; Pixar and Disney Retreat from Trans Indoctrination, by Al Perrotta

By Al Perrotta, The Stream - We are six days from Christmas, but Congress is already offering enormous gifts to the Washington establishment and a lump of coal to the American taxpayer... A 1,547-page continuing resolution that will keep the government running is loaded with provisions that should put anyone who supports it on Santa’s naughty list... For example, Congress is giving itself a $69,000 pay raise, plus they want to exempt themselves from Obamacare. And in a rather insidious move, tucked away in the massive document is a provision that would block subpoenas for House data.
