    mes "The Mass begins and ends with the greeting: ^008800May the Lord be with you!^000000 But to most of us, it does not  mean anymore than ^008800Goodbye^000000 which actually is shorthand for ^008800God be with you.^000000 The reason is that we  are not so sure that God is with us. It seems to be a pious wish and nothing more.";

    mes "In our Gospel reading today, Jesus is described as the ^008800Emmanuel^000000 which means ^008800God is with  us^000000 (Mt. 1:23). As you heard in the Gospel, ^008800the angel of the Lord said to Joseph that Mary has conceived through  the Holy Spirit and she will bear a child and he ";
