CHRISTMAS EVE COSMIC MASS from Langwarrin, VIC, Australia Note the starting time! Europe 11.30am CET | WA 6.30pm | SA 9pm | VIC/NSW 9.30pm | NZ 11.30pm Join us for this special Christmas celebration. Prepare your room with festive flowers and candles; perhaps a Christmas tree. Christmas is the festival of the birth of light. It is a celebration of the breaking through of a true spiritual light into our hearts and consciousness. The Christmas festival commences on Christmas Eve with a special celebration of the Cosmic Mass. At the end of this mass, we take with us a lighted candle, as a visible sign that we are bearing the light of the Christ into the darkness of the world. The Cosmic Mass is ‘cosmic’ because it is celebrated not only for the people present, but with and on behalf of the universe. Christ’s sacrifice was for every human soul, so everyone – regardless of age, gender, race or creed – is welcome to participate and receive the sacred elements of bread and wine. More...
