Happy New Year! May your year be filled with many blessings and much joy.
Today we celebrate The Epiphany of the Lord, the manifestation of Jesus divinity. The account from the Gospel (Matthew 2:1-12) tells of the magi from the east arriving in Bethlehem and finding Jesus after a long journey. “… and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary His mother. They prostrated themselves and did Him homage. Then they opened their treasures and offered Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.”
The magi gave those gifts because they were the absolute very best gifts they had.
Let’s do the same. Let’s give Jesus our absolute very best gifts. Let’s give Him our love, our time, our focus, our joys and our struggles, our triumphs and our shortcomings, our day each day. Let’s give Him everything we do. And let’s give it all as our gifts to Him.
Many have heard “See the smile on Jesus face as He looks upon you”. Let’s take it another step, and let’s strive to show Jesus the smile on our face as we look upon Him.
Happy New Year, Absolutely Yes!
Junior High and High School Youth Groups Schedule:
Thank you for another wonderful year of enthusiastic support for our Youth Ministry. A very special thank you to Katie Metzger and Aaron Hess who selflessly gave their Sunday and / or Monday nights to help our Youth Groups’ and HOW kids take a step or few ahead with their faith. They were welcoming, kind, reverent, humble, funny, encouraging, and great to be with. And the kids love them! These two Catholic young adults were servant leaders for your kids and your classmates. Thank you Katie & Aaron!
