This is our last week before
Christmas with our family!
I
believe in essential moments within our Catholic
Church. Each of you has probably
had one of these moments in your experience in Church. It may be a baptism of a baby or you,
or the first communion, or confirmation, or a wedding or even a funeral. God may have shown you power, love,
beauty or tears which led you right to Him.
Consider
next weekend—Christmas—as an essential moment in your life. Pause to prepare yourself through the
last days of Advent! Pray! Soak in silence! Seek forgiveness!
As
you cross the finish line of Advent and enter the celebration for Christmas
(for eight days, by the way!), please welcome our brothers and sisters for next
week.
To
all of our parishioners: please work together for some major moments. As we
continue to grow in evangelization
(i.e. sharing the Good News of Jesus
Christ), your presence in God’s house is huge for visitors and family members
from out of town. The more we can
walk people from their vehicle to the door, open the doors, welcome each
person, speak to people, shake hands, set up chairs, allow your pew/“spot” to a
new visitor and grow relationships in our parishes.
As
Jesus Christ is powerful on Christmas, remember that you may shine God’s love
to someone else.
Finish
Advent well!
God
Bless!
