would like to welcome you to our parish family!
Dear Family,A few years ago I began to say upon greeting or
leaving
people, God bless you or Ha ve a blessed day. Previously,
I would always say Have a nice day or Good Morning or
Goodnight. When I say God bless you I realized that is
exactly what God does, so I leave the person with a gift of
Gods special favor upon them. It also acknowledges the belief in
our
loving Father, our God. It is proclaiming our faith out
loud.
With the approaching Christmas season I encourage and invite you
to bless
those you encounter with a God bless you and Merry Christmas!.
It is
just a little way of acknowledging our faith out loud. Let us
give Gods
blessings to the cashier or sales clerk of the stores we
frequent this Christ-
mas. Let us bless them with our kindness and our faith.
Have a wonderful Advent Season.
In the Lords Love, Fr. Jim
