Along the Way....
As we find ourselves in Advent it is good to be aware that this season is one of preparation, a time to reflect prayerfully on the deeper meaning of Christmas. It is somewhat difficult to do when we are surrounded by the frenetic pace of getting things done for the holiday: shopping, decorating, etc. The challenge for conscientious Christian people is time, time to reflect and pray. I sometimes think that we make the celebration of Christmas more important than Christmas itself. In the event of the Nativity we are a people of gratitude, that the God who created the universe and holds it in existence, is not a God who is distant, but who chose to become one of us. God chose to become a part of creation and to know what it is to be human and then lift us to the divine. The beauty of Christmas, the birth of the Savior heralds good news; that we human beings, although born into time, are destined for eternity.
Let us pray and care for each other..... Fr. Bart
