Weekend Reflections for 12/20/19

December 18, 2019  /  Joe Parisi

Christmas

As the sun rises later and sets earlier and the darkness grows, we know it will reverse and once again shine forth with light and warmth. In our quiet and silent moments we are aware of our own darkness, our weakness and sin, our fears and failures, our pain and confusion. The Church reminds us that it’s into our human reality that God sends His Son to share our life, death and resurrection, so much does He love us. Jesus Christ enters our darkness with the light that blazes with the Father’s love and assures us that we are His beloved sons and daughters. He will always come when we invite Him. Jesus didn’t come to change God’s mind about us but to change our minds and hearts about God.

May the God of Love bless you and yours with a stronger faith and awareness of His presence in your life.
