CHRISTMAS REFLECTION But the angel said to them, "Don't be afraid! I am here with good news for you, which will bring great joy to all the people. This very day in David's town your Savior was born - Christ the Lord!" - The gospel of Luke In the middle of all the celebrations and activity of the season - the lights, trees, food, gifts, Santa, and more, let us not forget the heart of the season - the birth of Jesus Christ! A birth in which God became one of us, and in doing so offered us His eternal friendship - a friendship which gives us joy, hope, and love. A friendship that is always available for us - this is the great gift of Christmas. This message gives us encouragement through all the events of our lives - the good ones and the difficult ones. Even in the current pandemic God offers us a hope that we greatly need. God is always with us! Therefore, let us accept this great offer of friendship and love, and respond with our friendship, love, and prayers. As the great philosopher Linus Van Pelt once said, "That's what Christmas is all about Charlie Brown!". Have a very Merry and Blessed Christmas and a Very Happy New Year!! St. Dorothea pray for us! Deacon John |
