New Year Wish

Christmas. The birth of Jesus. The Word became flesh and lived among us. Heaven and earth met. The light shone in the darkness and the darkness did not overcome it. Now we come to the end of a year and listen to what God’s word says to us. It helps us look back to learn and look forward in hope. God’s word is a creative word who gives life to all, in love. Jesus is the Word uttered by the Father, the word of hope and promise. Jesus is God’s message to us - He is our Good News. We know that God loved the world and sent Jesus among us. It has been an eventful year that leaves lasting memories. We have the love of God to sustain us in the many challenges of life. We need light in the darkness and hope in the uncertainty that is around us. God has given us the Eternal Word in the Sacraments and the living word of scripture to guide us. As we get ready to welcome in the new year and think of resolutions for the upcoming year. Maybe we should resolve to let the divine light that resides in us all to shine brighter. Maybe we can see and encourage the Divine light in others. Maybe we can resolve to bring the love of God to all who we meet. Happy New Year
