From "forsaken" to "delight"
In a few hours, we shall be celebrating The Solemnity of Christ's Birth. As parish priest, I feel truly honored to share this mystery and prepare the People of God to this great meeting. Because of this, a great responsibility has dawned upon me and I would like to ask for your prayers and blessings.
God must have wanted us to prepare so much to the detail so that we who receive Jesus and the world may finally obtain the salvation we are seeking for. That is why there is the vigil mass, the midnight mass, the dawn mass, and the day mass.
In the mystery of Jesus' birth, we hope to also be born in him; for God's judgement in us to be changed from "forsaken" or "abandoned" to "Delight" and "wedded". Right this moment we shall be wedded to God.
In the gospel of the vigil mass, let us recall the family lineage of Jesus because we are part of that one family that existed ever since the beginning of time. All we have to do is to accept the grand lineage of the past and make it our own.
Secondly, reflect on the good things that are passed from generation to generation till the present time. Despite our frailties, God fills up what is lacking in us. He supplies the world with goodness.
Third, let us make a vow to lead our children and the next generation to a knowledge of the love of Jesus. He is our salvation. Maranatha, come, Lord Jesus!
