TRUST IN GOD On this final Sunday of Advent our scriptures focus on the historical birth of Jesus, who is son of David and Son of God, child and king, Jesus and Emmanuel. Isaiah the prophet begs Ahaz to ask for a sign, to allow God to offer him reassurance of the survival of the Davidic dynasty. The king hypocritically refuses to “tempt the Lord” in that way (Isaiah 7:12), but the prophet foretells the birth of a son, an heir to the throne, who will prove the Lord’s enduring protection of God’s chosen lineage on the throne of David. The child will be called Emmanuel. Matthew’s reference to this history in his description of the birth of Jesus highlights the contrast between the faithless refusal of trust shown by Ahaz, and the complete trust in God shown by Mary and Joseph in bringing about the birth of Jesus Christ.

“Help another’s boat across, and lo, thine own has reached the shore”
Dear Parishioners, Greetings, and Merry Christmas to one and all. I pray you have many blessings and abundant grace bestowed on you throughout this Christmas Season and upcoming New Year. First and foremost, I would like to thank you for your many cards, prayers, gifts, and kind thoughts you have sent my way over these past few days. Christmas is a time of giving and we must never forget the gift that God gave us over 2000 years ago, that is sending His only Son to bring about Salvation for all mankind. What an awesome gift. Let us strive to be as giving of ourselves as we celebrate this Christmas Season and show mercy to all we encounter throughout the coming New Year. May God be with you always and shower you with His blessings.
Yours in Christ, fr. roger
