“Holy Families, God Bearers and Epiphanies of Light” at St. James

Feliz Navidad – Merry Christmas y-and Prospero Año Nuevo- Happy New Year! May the incarnation of joy, light, goodness and love be your greatest present through these days and always. May you know and feel the presence of "God-with-us" especially in difficult circumstances, loneliness, loss or struggle.

The Octave of Christmas ends this Sunday with The Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God. Mary is honored with the Greek word “Theotokos” meaning “God Bearer. St. Gregory of Nyssa said, “What was achieved in the body of Mary will happen in the soul of everyone who receives the Word.” May we be true to the Word and bear God’s likeness into the world in our bodies and souls.

The Christmas season continues through the celebration of Epiphany next Sunday and concludes with Baptism of the Lord on Monday. The liturgical environment will reflect the “Christmas Season” until that feast day.

I want to offer my appreciation to all the prepared for and participated in our liturgies and ministries. It is an honor to serve with everyone who continues to incarnate the living Christ at St. James. These expressions of discipleship show that Christ is newborn and living in us TODAY. I am also grateful for your stewardship expressed in our Christmas collection, end of the year donations and special gifts to our various projects.

On a personal note, I want to express my appreciation for all the cards, food, gifts, and encouraging words during the Advent and Christmas Seasons. Please accept my genuine gratitude for your generosity and kindness.

Peace in Christ from your “Local Pastor”
Fr. Joseph Hannappel
