Fall 2025
His Light Endures Forever
Christmas truly is the most wonderful time of the year! We gather with family and friends and share joy, love, gifts and merriment. It's a time when many around the world put aside their differences and grievances and try to show kindness to all. It is a time to remember those less fortunate and a time to seek to adopt in our hearts and minds the spirit of giving, compassion, and genuine love for all those around us. Most important of all, it is a time to remember and place foremost in our hearts and souls the glorious gift from Our Father of His Son, Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ, the Light of the world, entered mortality in the most humble of circumstances in a quiet Bethlehem stable, yet His radiance has flooded the earth with hope ever since. The Star of Bethlehem pierced the night sky, guiding seekers to the very place where the long-promised Messiah lay. And on the nearby hills, angels burst into glorious song, announcing to simple shepherds that the Savior of all had been born!
We, like the angels and the host of heaven, should still be rejoicing because the Light that was born of Mary continues to shine in our homes, our hearts, and in every act of love offered in His name. The angels’ message of “good tidings of great joy” echoes still, reminding us that Christ came to lift burdens, heal sorrows, and lead us back to our Heavenly Father. His grace restores, His truth guides, and His love binds us to Heaven.
As we celebrate His birth, let us always remember that the greatest gift ever given was not wrapped in gold or placed under a tree, but lay in a manger—a gift of eternal life, peace, and joy through Jesus Christ, the Light that shines forever!
