The blessings of Christmas are
too many to number. Friends and family coming together, luscious meals
prepared, and the promise of a new year- all remind us of a the most wonderful
time of year.
December takes on a different
meaning than most months. The entire Advent wreath is lit, reminding us that Jesus
came into the world for one simple purpose- to restore humanity to the Father.
With a heart overflowing with love, Jesus was sent to us in order to show us
the way back to the Father.
Pope Francis said in 2015,
“Jesus wanted, and still wants, to live here with us and for us. He cares about
our world, which on Christmas became his world. The nativity scene reminds us
that God, in his great mercy, has descended among us to stay with us always.”
May this Christmas Day be
filled with many blessings for you and for your family and friends, those near
and far! May 2017 be filled with every
good grace that you desire from our loving God.
Merry Christmas to all!
