The Solemnity of Christmas
VOL. 3 DECEMBER 24-25, 2011 ISSUE 5Welcome to Good Shepherd
Chapel
ScriptureHow beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him
who brings glad tidings, announcing peace, bearing gonews,
announcing salvation... (Isaiah 52:7)All the ends of the earth have
seen the salvation by our God. (Psalm 98:3b)in these last days, he
has spoken to us through the Son, whom he made heir of all things
(Hebrews 1:2,31)
And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we
saw His glory... (John 1:14)
ReflectionWhat gift or good tidings do you hope to receive
today?What gift do you bring to share?Is Jesus born once or
eternally in all hearts who see His glory?
Just imagine the incredible kindness and mercy! He was the only
Son, but He did notwant to remain alone. So that humans might be
born of God, God was born of humans.
Begotten of God is He through Whom, we were created; born of a
woman is He throughWhom we are to be re-created. The Word first
wished to be born of humans, so that youmight be assured of being
born of God. (Sermon on John 2:13)
