The Christmas Festival of Lights opens next week

The Grotto's Christmas Festival of Lights is just 10 days away. Opening Friday, Nov. 25, the annual event celebrates the true meaning of Christmas with music, lights and joy.

Known as the world's largest Christmas Choral Festival, more than 150 choirs will perform over the course of 35 nights in the Chapel of Mary, known for its cathedral-like acoustics. 

There are nightly puppet shows and caroling in the pavilion tent, and music all around the grounds. And don't forget the millions of lights!

Lord,

Let nothing separate me from you today. Help me to keep you foremost in my thoughts as I go about my work and daily routine. Knowing that you walk beside me in all that I do gives me the courage to live authentically with love towards those around me. Finally, O Lord, help me to forever remember what a gift it is to rest in the knowledge of your unending love.

Amen.
