REFLECTION
PARISH INFORMATION & EVENTS
3
The birth of the Messiah gives the church great hope. Although secular celebrations of Christmas ignore the significance of the Holy Day, the Church gives us Advent to help us keep our fo-cus. We reorient our hearts and minds to recall, once again, the mysterious glory of the Incarnation. In these weeks of yuletide preparation, we stop to remind ourselves what it means to be Christian, in case we have begun taking it for granted. To be Christian is to believe that God is truly with us, in the most personal, intimate way imaginable; He is one of us! "They shall name Him Emmanuel, which means 'God is with us.'" Through the Incarnation, God became human and lived among us to love us, to guide us, to heal us, and to strengthen
us. It is the promise of a Savior giv-en through the early prophets, a promise that the faithful held dear as they waited. As that most beauti-ful of all anniversaries approaches, celebrate this season remembering the greatest gift ever given to every person--the gift of a Savior.
“BACK TO THE BASICS”
Father will be taking a couple minutes each week to answer parishioners’ questions about the Faith and things we do as Catholics. If you have a question, please submit it by dropping a note in the collection basket, placing a note in the wooden prayer request box in the main entrance, or by emailing the office at [email protected].
