My Dear Parish Family,
Only one word can sum up
the events of this past week and
that is “Joy”! Our beautiful
Church was packed and filled to
the brim with joyful souls
giving thanks to Almighty God
on the birthday of His Son, our
Lord Jesus Christ! I hope and pray that the joy of
Christmas finds you well and continues to stay with
you throughout this season and this blessed New
Year ahead.
The promise of Christmas is one of great
expectation. We know that this world is far from
perfect and that hardships not only fall to the world,
and to our country, but often in our own homes as
well. We are called to invite Christ into the cold and
the dark, just as He was born into that very same
scenario in Bethlehem. Remember how far from
perfect was the situation allotted to Him on that first
Christmas morning.
Joseph and Mary had no idea what was in store for
them. They had no guarantees whatsoever as to what
was before them. They completely surrendered
themselves to God and trusted in Him without any
hesitation. They had the promise of an angel and
bravely accepted the will of God. This is what we
must do now in this year ahead. Let us trust
completely in our Lord’s protection and guidance in
this New Year. Whether life seems to be smiling on
you or whether the times have become uncertain and
challenging, follow the example of the Holy Family
and boldly press on into the days ahead, knowing
that the joy of Almighty God will always be with
you. God our Father will never abandon us, and His
Son promised us that He will never leave us orphans!
Merry Christmas and a very
Blessed Happy New Year!
Rev. Brian Patrick Woodrow
