Christmas Message.
Last September I had the privilege of being in the Holy Land with our Parish Pilgrimage, it was truly a memorable experience. We spent a day in Bethlehem we had our Mass near the cave where Jesus was born, that evening we went to the Shepherds Field where the Angels came to announce the birth of Jesus. I had to pinch myself to realize that it was here it all began, the surroundings were so humble. – poverty, happiness, simplicity and love. Stop for a moment and reflect on it. God became man; divine become human. At the root of all that happiness, sharing and enjoyment is that new-born baby in his mothers arms. Today in the town of David a saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. In our searching for new life and hope after all the recent revelations and cutbacks, may our way forward be full of hope inspired by Jesus, born in poverty in a cave in Bethlehem.
We welcome those who are home for Christmas, enjoy these special days with your loved ones. Those who cant make it home are in our prayers. The bereaved you are in our thoughts and your loved ones are remembered in our Masses. Fr. Charlie joins me in thanking you for your support and wishing you a very happy and joy filled Christmas. Peace, health and blessings to you all throughout 2012
