Christmas Eve Mass Reminder 12-24-08

Ezekiel 33:  Thus says the LORD: You, son of man, I have appointed watchman for the house of Israel; when you hear me say anything, you shall warn them for me.
Romans 13:  Love does no evil to the neighbor; hence, love is the fulfillment of the law.
Matthew 18:  For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

It can often be far more difficult to identify the real questions we face than it is to find spurious answers to the superficial ones.
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister

Seth is still asleep, Folks!  Monique & Zach, you have one terrific kid!  I love him.

Zecariah 9:  He shall banish the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; the warrior’s bow shall be banished, and he shall proclaim peace to the nations.  His dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
Romans 8:  If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit that dwells in you.
Matthew 11:  “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”

 

The question is not what we should celebrate, but what shouldn’t we celebrate. Every occasion is an occasion. It’s not the date on the calendar that matters, it’s the cognizance in our own soul of the amount of goodness around us that is in question.
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister
