"Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say Rejoice"
On behalf of the staff here at Our Lady of Sorrows and the many
volunteers who make our programs work for all of us, we wish you
and yours a joyful Christmas and a New Year filled with many
blessings. Take a moment, if only a moment, to set aside the
necessary busyness of preparation and reflect on what it would
have meant for us if Christmas never happened. Jesus of Nazareth,
the Son of God from the moment of his birth as a fragile infant
took on the entire human experience and made it fully his own. In
so doing, he ennobled our humanity, made it a gateway to life with
him forever rather than a dead end, forgave our sins and motivated
us to be our best selves. No wonder the whole world stops to mark
this moment in time. Rejoice. God bless you and Merry Christ-
mas.
