Since 2019 we have traditionally aired a telling of the Biblical Christmas story. But this week, in our final episode of 2025, we're doing something a little different. Efforts by ICE and Border Patrol to crack down on illegal immigration have led some — like the police chief of Minneapolis — to opine that Joseph and Mary and baby Jesus were refugees. Therefore, we should, as Christians, be opposed to immigration enforcement. Lloyd reads the story of the birth of Jesus Christ from the Gospels of Matthew and Luke and points out how wrong those ideas are.

Lord, we implore You to keep Your household the Church in continual godliness, that through Your protection she may be free from all adversities and devoutly given to serve You in good works; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
