In this Fr. Mike Christmas Special, Fr. Mike explains why It’s a Wonderful Life is his favorite Christmas movie. *Spoiler Alert*
It’s a Wonderful Life is a classic, but there’s a theme carried through the movie that is rarely discussed—the role of duty.
If you lived a life without responsibilities, you would be living a life without relationships.
In the movie, George Bailey’s life is driven by duty, but it’s transformed by the love he finds in his relationships with others.
Hopefully, our life is driven by a sense of duty towards God, but we need to remember that our lives are transformed by the love of God.
This Christmas, remember that your life has meaning, your life carries with it important duties, and that God, who has not forgotten you, will transform your life.
