Thank you for your generosity!
God lavishes upon us gifts beyond our merit. Today’s
readings demonstrate the gratuitous nature of God’s love for
humanity. Recognizing this benevolence, we, along with the
Magi, prostrate ourselves and pay homage by offering our
supreme gifts—our faith, hope and love—in the service of our
generous, loving God.
In the first reading, the prophet reminds Israel that God’s glory will shine on them. They
will be a people to be admired by nations and kings. Saint Paul recounts for the Ephesians that
Gentiles are co-heirs and co-partners in the promise of Jesus Christ in the Gospel. The Gospel
recounts the Magi’s visit to pay homing to the newborn baby, Jesus.
Special thanks to all who participated in
our Christmas Cheer Angel Tree Program. Your generosity blessed
so many who would have otherwise not received!
Special thanks to our young people and all who worked so hard to make our CCD
