Can you believe it? Christmas is just a few days away! How
is your Advent preparation going? Have you had some time to
remember what the season is about?
Christmas is the culmination of our Advent preparation. We
celebrate that Jesus, the Son of God, came to live among us, to
take on our humanness. That means Jesus knows our human suffering,
our human pain, our challenges with relationships. But, Jesus also
knows our human joy, our human happiness, and the beauty of
relationships. More than that, at Christmas we celebrate that Jesus
continues to live with each of us. Jesus promised us, as recorded
in Matthew's Gospel, that he will be with us always, until the end
of time.
So, as you finish your preparations for Christmas, don't let
yourself get stressed and anxious. Remember that the Lord is
near -- the Lord is with you. Rejoice! Bring that good news
to all those you meet on Christmas and throughout the Christmas
season.
Thank you! Merry Christmas!
Rejoice is right! Thank you for the lovely reminder, Sister.
Rejoice in the Lord always. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
We always need reminders that Jesus is coming and yet is here. Thanks for your suggestions.
