The Rosary Light and Life - Current Announcements - Nov.-Dec. 1995

Advent means: God who comes . . . He comes to take away sin . . . Every year Advent reminds us that grace . . . is more powerful than sin.

Christmas is now near. We must all wait for the Lord and be ready to receive Him in the right way: with faith, commitment and joy.

Jesus, in fact, was born only once; but the Church makes us remember His birth every year not only to worship Him and thank Him, but to have the same gifts which He brought to the shepherds and to the Wise Men . . . grace, love of God, kindness to one's neighbor, humility.

God has come near . . . born at Bethlehem . . . lying in the manger . . . and in spite of the fact that 2,000 years separate us from His birth, He is always ahead of us, always goes before us. We must "run after Him," and try to "reach Him."

Let us not lose Jesus! On the contrary, like shepherds, be witnesses to His love! This is the Christmas wish that I express to you from the bottom of my heart.
