(This is a repeat from last week due to the 2 week bulletin.)
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
“The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light.” This is the message that the prophet Isaiah proclaimed. It is the central message of the gospel that Jesus has come and lightened ourdarkness. This is our reason for great rejoicing.
As we welcome Christ in this season, let us pray with Saint John Paul II who prayed; “O Child, who willed to have for your crib a manger; O Creator of the universe, who stripped yourself of divine glory; O Redeemer, who offered your vulnerable body in sacrifice for the salvation of humanity: may the radiance of your birth light up the night of the world. You come to bring us peace. You are our peace! In the luminous silence of your Nativity, you, Emmanuel, continue to speak to us. And we are ready to listen to you. Amen!”
God bless,
Fr. Tony
