Readings for Sunday, December 25, 2011:
1st Reading: Isaiah 52: 7-10
Responsorial Psalm 98:1-6
Second Reading: Hebrews 1:1-6
Gospel: John 1:1-18
Reflection: Our God speaks to us through His Son Jesus. Yes, our Yahweh God loves each one of us so totally that God sent the only begotten, beloved Son to be our brother, guide, our Savior. Thus each of us can claim God as ours. Jesus, the Word of God; Jesus, the one who goes before us; Jesus, the one song we sing today; Jesus, the one who invites us to follow His way to peace and joy. So we celebrate today, and hopefully every day, the presence of God in us, around us, before and behind us. May this message go out to all the world through us as we live the truth that Jesus, born for us, is truly our way, truth and life.
The word Christmas means Christ sent!
