On this Blessed Christmas Day, I wish to extend to you, your family and loved ones my prayers and best wishes for a Merry and Happy Christmas celebration.
In the rich and glorious narratives of the Scriptures, in the representations of that Grace-filled moment which have been depicted by artists and artisans down through the centuries, in the music which captures the emotions of this wondrous miracle in the course of human history, we are powerfully reminded of the unfathomable Love of God for each and everyone of us.
No matter how frail our witness to the Lord, no matter how relentless and difficult our journey in faith, no matter how problems and challenges test our trust in God, Christmas is a time of rebirth for all of us as it invites to remember again that God keeps His Promises, that the Love of God never fails, that Redemption comes to us undeserved and as Pure Gift.
Thank You, Almighty Father, for the Love You show us in giving us Your Only Son to be Our Savior. Thank You, Father, for the forgiveness that comes to us in the Sacrifice of Jesus Who willingly takes upon Himself the just judgment of our sins.
When life is burdensome and all seems hopeless, help us to remember the lesson which Christmas teaches: Emmanuel has come and in Him truly “God is with us” each and every moment, in the good times and the bad, in moments of strength and weakness, from the first breath we take unto the last.
God’s Grace and Hope and Love is the breath of life for all who believe and trust in Him.
May the Love and Grace of Almighty God fill your hearts this Christmas Day. May that Love touch your soul and the souls of all those you love that they may know the Peace and Joy that only Jesus can bring to life.
A Merry Christmas! And as Tiny Tim of Dicken's, A Christmas Carol, observed: "God bless us all, everyone!"
