New article tomorrow, radio Thursday

Laura DeMaria

Catholic Stand will be publishing my article about why you really ought to be more like Scrooge this Christmas, tomorrow, and I will share that here when it’s up. Then this Thursday at 8:20 am eastern, I will be back on Relevant Radio to update listeners on a group of 200 French and Spanish martyrs who were just beatified. What a story! See how you can listen no matter where you are in the world, here.

A continued blessed Advent to all!

How and why to be like Scrooge this Christmas

Laura DeMaria

I had a grand ol’ time on Morning Air yesterday discussing my thoughts on why really all Christians should emulate Scrooge. After his awakening, that is! Listen to the conversation here.

We discussed giving, mercy, fellowship, and joy. Sounds pretty good, right? And here’s a link to the Merry Beggars rendition of A Christmas Carol that inspired this topic.

The ending of A Christmas Carol really does make me emotional. It’s never too late for any of us! And may it be said of us that we know “to keep Christmas well.

How to be like Scrooge this Advent and Christmas

Laura DeMaria

It’s a cheeky, thought, eh? Well, we may not want to be like Scrooge before he encounters the ghosts, but afterwards? Absolutely! We can look to his actions for how we can model Christian virtue across a variety of fronts: showing mercy, giving alms, being in fellowship with others, and most importantly, really living the joy of the true meaning of Christmas.

I’ll be on Relevant Radio’s Morning Air program this Thursday at 8:20 am eastern to discuss how we really all ought to be like Scrooge this Christmas. Check out how to listen here.

I hope your Advent is off to a strong, peaceful, and light-filled start!
