“The
glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all people shall see it
together…” (Isaiah 5:9-11)
“Then the voice of the Father thundered: This is my beloved Son, with
whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew3:
16-17)
Will
the Christmas rush ever end? Decorations
and ornaments to be stored away! Cards to be recorded and filed! Thank you
notes to be written! That elusive gift receipt lost again! Today’s
Mass guarantees with a “God-guarantee”:
the real Christmas will never, ever end.
Jesus came as God promised! Jesus
stays with us as Jesus promises! Yes, the glory of God has been revealed
and all people shall see it together.
On
Christmas, angels and shepherds celebrated Jesus’ birth. On New Year’s
Day, we celebrated Mary, the Mother of Jesus.
On Epiphany, we welcomed the Magi, the wise who came from
everywhere to adore Jesus. Today, Jesus’ chooses Baptism from John. He
takes on everything about being human, especially our sinfulness, and
joins with us in bringing peace, justice, oneness to all peoples. The
rush of Christmas may soon end. The joy and love of Christmas will never
end and will continue to touch
every human being, everywhere…
