Merry Christmas: God is with YOU and Welcome Home: Christmas

Listen to the homily here.

Notes:

Merry Christmas again!

·      This day is truly beautiful and thank you to be with God, with Mother Mary, with Jesus Christ, with St. Joseph

·      Brothers and sisters, welcome home!

Immanuel: God is with us!

·      God is with us and God is with YOU

The Scriptures offer us some thoughtful nuggets

·      “you shall be called "My Delight,"…“For the LORD delights in you…”

·      Remember that one, especially if you are experiencing tough times in life

o   The lost loved ones

o   Physically or with Brain illnesses or not feeling God’s presence

·      Remember how He speaks to you in the Scriptures, in your hearts, in your family, with your friends, and with our family together

We also sang together: “For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.”

·      On Christmas Eve (night, midnight, morning) it has blown my mind how goodness our Lord is

o   Sometimes in my own life I experience challenges, wrong decisions, thinking of going the right actions which are actually wrong

o   Yet He still loves me…God loves you

·      I mean, our Father sent His son to our planet

o   Doing so, he showed us the plan for salvation, not only that he became a human, but gave his life to save us

·      And as much as we can love God or when we seek His goodness, He loves you MORE than you could imagine your love for Him

We come tonight to be with God, with the God-Man in a baby, our King

Once again, Immanuel! God is with us and God is with YOU!

Merry Christmas!
