A Fr. Mike Christmas Special

Fr. Mike explains why "It's a Wonderful Life" is his favorite
Christmas movie and how it can help us understand the importance of
duty and love. Spoiler Alert "It's a Wonderful Life" is a classic,
but there's a theme carried through the movie that is rarely
discussed—the role of duty. If you lived a life without
responsibilities, you would be living a life without relationships.
In "It's a Wonderful Life," George Bailey's life is driven by duty,
but it's transformed by the love he finds in his relationships with
others. Hopefully, our life is driven by a sense of duty towards
God, but we need to remember that our lives are transformed by the
love of God. This Christmas, remember that your life has meaning,
your life carries with it important duties, and that God, who has
not forgotten you, will transform your life.
