“For Us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven”
In this season of Christmas we REJOICE and are glad that God has given us His Son to be thesavior of the world and the redeemer of our sins! Fulfilling His promise to us from the fall of man
in the garden of Eden, God has sent the Messiah to show us the love of the Father and giveus a model of holiness! God came down as the Son, Jesus Christ, humbling himself even to be
born in a manger. And after 33 years of life was murdered at the very hands of thepeople he came to save. Death has been defeated! Salvation reigns! What a glad time
for us to celebrate the birth of our Lord from over 2000 years ago.This is a time for celebration and as Catholics we celebrate for more than one day! The Churchdesignates an entire season to the birth of the Lord. When we observe this special season we
honor, worship, and revere our Lord as a provider and miracle maker.
“For a child has been born for us, a son given to us; and authority rests upon his shoulders;
and he is named: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
- Pope Benedict XVI
Give time to ponder this
great act of mercy from God!
Spend time with your family
and teach them what this season is about!
Give God glory and thanks for his wondrous deeds!
