On this Fourth Sunday of Advent, our gospel sets the stage for the celebration of the birth of Christ. The primary focus is on the child to be born and his true origin. Twice we are told that Mary’s son has been conceived “through the Holy Spirit”. As one commentator put it, “God is continually active in the world. We simply may not be aware of his presence.” And so a question for us, “How open are we to God’s presence in our lives?”
As this is the last bulletin before Christmas, on behalf of Fr. Matt, our entire parish staff, and myself, I want to extend God’s blessings on you and your families at Christmas. It is an honor to serve you. Merry Christmas!
Peace,
Fr. Ron
