Both of the first readings for these celebrations foretell the coming of the Messiah that we anticipate at Christmas. In the reading from the Book of Samuel for the Fourth Sunday of Advent the prophet confirms that the Son of God will come from the house of David, and the reading from the Book of Isaiah for Christmas Eve says that this child born of the house of David will be “ called Wonder-Counselor, God- Hero, Father- Forever, Prince of Peace, [and] his dominion is vast and ever peaceful.” The historical groundwork is thus laid for the birth of Jesus. In the season of Advent, we have individually and as a community been laying the groundwork in our hearts to receive the Messiah. As faithful Christians we have the opportunity to experience In our Nativity scene located in the Blessed this event each year at Christmas. And each year we have Sacrament Chapel, Mary and Joseph wait with us the opportunity to prepare ourselves more fully to for the coming of the Messiah on Christmas Eve. experience and enter into the mystery of Christ’s incarnation and the beginning of a fuller understanding of His ministry in the world, as we emulate and continue this ministry to this day. May this Christmas season bring you Christ’s peace and joy and may our community continue to grow in the work of Christ’s ministry in the year to come. Christmas blessings to you and your family.
