The Sixth Day of the Christmas Octave is how today is dated in the Liturgical Calendar followed by the Catholic Church.

The Eternal Event of the Incarnation is recorded as a historical event in time measured, in the Palestine, of  "those days", by at least two different Calendars. There were also many other calendars in use throughout the world which were unknown to either the Jews or Gentiles who witnessed the Life, Death and Resurrection of Our Saviour and subsequently recorded what they had witnessed.

Nothing in the History of Roman and Orthodox Christian disputes reveals the initial failure of the "Thou art Peter"  Institutions to honour Jesus' declaration at his trial "My Kingdom is not of this world" more than the arguments over the dates in worldly time, that has always been itself inaccurately measured by human calendars, of "Immanuel" our "Timeless GODWITHUS".

Do not love the world or the things of this world. 

If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

For all that is in the world

-the desires of the flesh, the desires of eyes and the pride of life-

Is not from the Father but is from the world.

And the world is passing away along with its desires.

But whoever does the will of the Father abides for ever.

Dear Lord help me to truly know my sins and be truly sorry that I have offended thee. Help me to overcome all the temptations that the many innocent wonders of this world have to captivate my heart and thus keep me from living true to your will. Save me from the emptiness of the abyss of non-being which periodically threatens to sweep over and devour my soul. Help me to know your LOVE and abide in your New Holy Family with Mary and all the saints and let your grace overcome all the obstacles that keep my family and all the other peoples of the world from also striving to be true to YOU. Amen.
