Christmas, A Celebration of Divine Access
We come to this day with great anticipation, sometimes for the right reasons, but often with an understanding of this feast means. We know with certainty that Christmas, the feast of the Incarnation, a celebration of Divine Access; it is ultimately a celebration of radical access to God.
God tells us that he is deeply, radically available to us. Are we making ourselves available to Him?
The House of Bread, the town of Bethlehem and now our Churches, is the Eucharistic symbol of God’s Presence, His availability to the world. Christmas is a Eucharistic preview event that will be made manifest fully and completely on Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
Today is exclusively about HIM. Only Jesus can fulfill the human heart revealed in Christmastide.
Blessings at Christmas!
Purgatorial Society
We are quickly coming to November when we pray for the Souls in Purgatory. We enter into this venerable practice of remembering our loved ones, and those who have no one to pray for them, with certainty that our prayers are lovingly heard by the Most Blessed Trinity. Let us remember the souls before God at the altar.The form for enrollment St Gregory Purgatorial Society is noted at this link.
