C&SI brings together a series of reflections to share over the Christmas Season. Originally available for listening on Christmas Day and St Stephen's Day, we are sharing the individual reflections to allow listeners a bite size moment over the days of Christmas - to allow us to pause and reflect for a few moments and also as a reminder that Christmas is not just "the day" but a season of faith where we celebrate the wonder of the coming of Emmanuel into the messiness of human suffering and existence.

In this reflection Sr Caitriona Kavanagh from the Dominican Sisters of St Cecelia in Limerick city shares with us how throughout the Christmas story we can be struck by the hiddenness  of the Mystery and that if we are not attentive we can almost miss the significance of this at Christmas. Sr Caitriona asks that this Christmas that we pray for the grace of not being too busy or pre-occupied to see by faith the hiddenness of this Mystery and that we may discover anew the presence of God in the humble place of our humanity
