Fr. Ron’s Ramblings Today we celebrate the fourth and final Sunday in Advent. As I look out my window overlooking Manning Street and beyond, everything is awash with white. I heard from Fr. Sam in Maine who experienced the first snowfall of his life and he was overwhelmed with the “beauty of God’s creation”. More often than not, those of us who have seen snow all our lives tend to see it as a nuisance; it takes some new eyes to also appreciate its beauty. Last weekend, despite the storm, gifts for the giving tree kept flowing in. It is heartwarming to know so many will benefit this Christmas season, all because of your generosity. A great big thanks go to Dave and Janice Fournier along with all their helpers. Coordinating this effort is no easy task and we are most appreciative. In a few short days it will be Christmas and I am sure everyone is busy with last minute preparations. As we all exchange gifts and have our holiday gatherings, let’s not forget to take some time to appreciate the original gift giver! It is easy to get caught up in the excitement of these days and to bypass the heart and soul of Christmas. “For unto us a child is born, a son is given, who is Christ the Lord.” Our scriptures this weekend speak to us of ‘Emmanuel’. The literal translation of that word means “God is with us”. That is the essence of scripture and certainly the essence of this season. God chose and continues to choose to make His dwelling place among us. May we continue to welcome Him and share His light with all we meet.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Hoje celebramos o quarto e último Domingo do Advento. Estando na janela olhando p’ra fora posso ver o Manning st. e mais longe tudo coberto de branco. Eu soube do padre Sam que está em Maine experimentando a sua primeira experiência de queda de neve na sua vida. Ele sentiu-se emocionado com a beleza da criação de Deus.Normalmente para nós que estamos habituados à neve não damos grande importancia, só para os que a vêm com os seus próprios olhos pelas primeiras vezes sabem apreciar a sua beleza. Na passada semana mesmo com o temporal os presentes da árvore dos presentes continuam sempre a chegar com frequência. É consolador saber que muitas criancas vão ser beneficiadas neste Natal. Tudo foi possivel pela vóssa generosidade. Um enorme obrigado ao Dave e á Janice Fournier e tambem a todos os seus ajudantes. Coordenar esta tarefa não foi muito fácil mas nós estamos muito agradecidos. Em poucos dias será o Natal e tenho a certeza que todos vós estais ocupadíssimos com os prepares de última hora. Assim como nós trocamos presentes e nos reunimos em familia para celebrar as festas, não esquecamos de apreciar o verdadeiro doador de presentes. É muito fácil nos distrairmos com todo o excitamento destes dias e não dar atenção à alma e coração do Natal.“Porque para nós nasceu um menino, um filho nos foi dado que é o Cristo Senhor.” As leituras deste fim de semana falam-nos do Emanuel. A literal tradução desta palavra quer dizer ( Deus connosco). Este e o essenço da escritura e certamente o essenço desta época. Deus escolheu e continua a escolher a fazer a sua vontade no meio de nós. Que continuemos a dár-lhe as boas vindas e compartir a Sua luz com todos os que nos encontrar-mos. Que Deus vos abençõe neste Natal. Assim seja!!!
FELIZ NATAL!
