My Dear People,
“O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” is the cry of the Church at the beginning of it’s New Year. We long for the establishment of Christ’s Reign of Peace. It has yet to happen. St. Luke says, that there will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars “before” the transition comes to past. The seas will roar and the waves will overtake the earth. The very powers of the Heavens will be shaken. “Then, they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds, with great power and glory.”
He reminds us, during the interim, to remain vigilant in faith, sober in deeds, and spiritually alert, so that the great and terrible day does not catch us of guard. Make a resolution this Advent 2010, to go to confession more often, attend daily mass, and pray the Rosary. These prayer habits will allow us to stand in faith before Our Lord, when he comes. Pray, Pray, Pray.
Entrusting you to the care of Our Lady,
Fr. Mark Bozada
May we follow Our Lord’s example by carefully planning ways in which we can give service and sacrifice to build up God’s Church.
