Pastor’s Corner — December 26th, 2021
Merry Christmas!
The baby Jesus in the manger reminds us how humble our God is and how desirous he is of a relationship with us. He didn’t come for himself. He came for us. He came that you and I might know who we are and who he is so that that we might live with him forever. Nothing on earth is stronger than his love! No matter what has happened this past year in your life, no matter how dark it may have been, the Light of the World revealed through this little child has the power to scatter the darkness now and for eternity. May we allow him to love us more deeply and call us to a greater humility that not only recognizes that he is our Savior King, but also the fulfillment of our deepest desires.
Thank You
Fr. Miguel and I are very grateful for the cookies, the food and drinks, and the cards that so many of you have given to us. Thank you so much! We are so blessed to be a part of this parish family and please know the love is mutual. Merry Christmas!
