WISHING YOU A BLESSED CHRISTMAS SEASON

December 29, 2018 By Sarah Christmyer Leave a Comment

Many of our neighbors are putting their lights and decorations away, but for us Catholics, Christmas has just begun!

It started with the Christmas vigil masses and continues through the next three Sundays:

  • The Feast of the Holy Family on December 30
  • Epiphany on January 6
  • The Feast of Jesus’ Baptism on January 1

During this time, we’re invited to reflect on what it means for Jesus to be born in us . . . that we are part of God’s family . . . that everyone can be part of that family . . . and on what it means to live in Christ, by the light of his life and the strength of his spirit that we have received in Baptism.

There is a lovely guide to praying with these Sunday readings on the USCCB website. I encourage you to take advantage of it, or to read and meditate on the readings in your own way.

Apologies to those who have missed my blog. I am taking a break while I finish work on a book I am writing. More on that later! I expect to be back to this in a few weeks.

May the Lord bless you in a special way during the rest of the Christmas Season as you welcome him in a fresh way into your heart.

Grace and Peace to you,

Sarah Christmyer

Sarah Christmyer writes and speaks about Scripture and the Catholic faith with the goal of helping people meet Jesus in his Word. “The Bible isn’t just a book about God or instructions for a good life; it’s a place to meet God and be changed by him,” she says. Her love of Scripture fuels her writing of Bible studies and related books; her teaching of Philadelphia seminarians; her speaking at conferences and retreats; and writing for blogs such as this one. “Come Into the Word” draws people into the Bible and encourages and equips them to explore it on their own.
