T H E J O U R N E Y O F F A I T H W I T H Fr. Matthew Oakland In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth and all that is in them. This world, however, became fallen, and so God sends His Son to earth to bring about the New Creation giving us with His grace the gift of new life. With His coming, our salvation draws near! Redemption is at hand! Today we heard again from the prophet Isaiah. The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me; he has sent me to bring glad tidings to the poor, to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to the prisoners, to announce a year of favor from the LORD and a day of vindication by our God. Isaiah s writings contain many prophecies of the coming of the Messiah. The words we hear today will be read by Jesus Himself in the synagogue at Nazareth as He announces Today this scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing. (Luke 4:21) Jesus was anointed by the Father to bring Good News, to heal, to proclaim, to set free. This was His mission, this was the reason He took on our flesh and was born of the Virgin at Bethlehem. We are quickly preparing for His birth into the world. But we are also preparing to join with Mary in giving birth to Jesus in our own lives. In Baptism, we become one with Christ the adopted children of God and coheirs to His Kingdom. So Jesus mission becomes our own. At this time of year, we often call to mind those in need. Whether it be through homeless outreach given the cold and the storms, or whether it be the Giving Tree or similar programs those in material need are before our minds. And that is good as we respond to the call of God to love our brothers and sisters, and we reach out to them with material assistance. The vast number of items in the Parish Office basement right now are quite simply staggering numbering in the hundreds because of your generosity! While it is true that there is only one Savior, we are called to continue His work and make His presence known. Just as we open up our lives to His grace and mercy and love, we must share that grace and mercy and love with our brothers and sisters. As we prepare for His coming, ask God for some guidance about those with whom Jesus might be calling you to share the Good News. To whom is Jesus calling you to bring glad tidings and Good News? Whose heart is broken, and in need of the healing touch of Christ? Who is a prisoner, or captive, and in need of liberty and freedom in Christ? Who needs to hear that message of a year of favor from the Lord, a blessed and graced season? Who needs to hear the message of the victory of our God? This Spirit of the Lord is God is upon us - upon you and upon me. Let us be Christ to the world. Reminder: Holy Day Schedule I look forward to celebrating the joy of the Nativity of Jesus Christ with those of you who will be in town for the Holy Days. Here is our schedule for the HOLY DAY SCHEDULE December 23rd December 24th December 25th 4th Sunday of Advent as well as the Christmas Masses.
