Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I remember reading a Christmas card some years ago with the words, "Wise men still seek Him". Let me suggest that the first place to look for Christ is within ourselves. The Good News of the Incarnation is that Jesus continually comes to be born in us.

As Jesus rests in us so must we also learn to rest in Him! By creating a sacred space where he can reside within us, we make our own lives available to a God who loves us and desires our love. We then can make Jesus available through our willingness to give and to forgive without counting the cost. We're not perfect yet but we know we're on the right path if we seek Him with all our heart! A Blessed Christmas to you and to those you love!

Love,

Father Paul J. Hruby, Pastor
and Your Parish Staff
