“The greeting "Merry Christmas!" must have originated in that period of English history when England really was merry.
Christmas itself meant to the English Catholic of that happy era the Mass of Christ, as Michaelmas meant the Mass of the glorious Saint Michael, and Candlemas meant the Mass of that day when the candles were blessed and lighted on English altars and in English homes.
English men and women in those Catholic days would have been horrified at the thought of wishing a Merry Christmas to anyone who wasn't on his way either to or from the lovely Mass which is the Eucharistic rebirth of the Savior among His beloved.
To the believing world of that day Christmas was a time when with fullest reason any Christian man or woman could be deeply merry.”
― May Your Christmas Be Merry

“In other words the sinner can be only part of a man. He must substitute for the whole of life only his sinful part of it. He must close his life to everything but his vice and what he hopes to wring from it, or he is doomed to misery.”

“Sin is a terrible fact, but at least it is matched by the consoling fact that God never rejects the sorrowing sinner. The modern world tries to explain sin away, deny the plain facts, and make vice and virtue synonyms. But it has no pity in its cold soul for sinners and no hope to offer the man or the woman who knows the sadness of sin and looks for comfort. It is left for the merciful, sin-crucified Christ to clasp the penitent sinner to His heart.”
