The Baptism of the Lord Today’s Feast marks the conclusion of the Christmas Season and the beginning of Ordinary Time. It’s a feast of transition from Jesus’ private life to that of His public ministry. As we enter Ordinary Time may we turn our eyes to Jesus and prepare to follow Him and every word He speaks. He was sent into this world to bring us closer to the Father, allow Him to fulfill that mission in our lives.

Wishing that you be blessed with the gifts of love, peace and happiness this Epiphany and always!

Blessings to all, on this Feast Day of the Holy Family! A prayer, written by Pope Francis Jesus, Mary and Joseph, in you we contemplate the splendor of true love;... to you we turn with trust. Holy Family of Nazareth, grant that our families too may be places of communion and prayer, authentic schools of the Gospel and small domestic churches. Holy Family of Nazareth, may families never again experience violence, rejection and division; may all who have been hurt find ready comfort and healing. Holy Family of Nazareth, make us once more mindful of the sacredness and inviolability of the family, and its beauty in God’s plan. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, graciously hear our prayer. Amen. See more

Wishing you and your loved ones, love and peace this Christmas season!

The symbolism of the Advent wreath is quite beautiful. The circle of the wreath, with no beginning or end and made with evergreens, represents eternity and the everlasting life found in Christ. Today we light the fourth candle, symbolizing Peace..... "Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men.
