LETS DRESS OUR BEST TO GIVE THE LORD OUR SUNDAY S BEST! FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT A woman, short of years but abundant in wisdom, hears the call of God through an angel and all of creation waits for her response. The story of the Annunciation in this Sunday's Gospel places on a major stage the relationship humanity has with God the Father. His love for us is so great he would seek to become like us in the Incarnation, and then by his death and resurrection save us from death so that we may live forever with him. The entire cosmic plan hinges on the response of one girl. Have you ever had to make a decision that would entirely change your life and the lives of those around you? Has God ever asked you to risk it all for the kingdom? Maybe the question came in the form of a loved one's death. Perhaps a cross-country move or a job change was the request. Confronting the reality of the call made your stomach ache and your head spin. What was your response? As this Advent draws to a close, and a new calendar year lies just beyond your Christmas tree, let us pray that when the call comes we may respond as mature disciples. Age does not define maturity. Neither does experience. Maturity is defined by how we respond to God in those most challenging of moments. This Christmas, may a young girl in a far off land lead us to an infant Child who one day will most certainly ask us a question that will shake us to our core, and may our answer echo hers, "yes." MUSIC MINISTRY NEWS Children's Choir: We meet every Thursday from 3:15pm - 4:30pm in the music office and sing at the Saturday vigil mass at Nativity at 5:30pm every week.
