Dear Faith Community and Family,
I cannot believe we are so close to celebrating the birth of our dear Jesus. But the celebration is just two weeks away.
If you are like me you may not have been consistant in your preparation for our celebration; however, our Jesus is so patient with us. We can still slow ourselves down to be able to appreciate the celebration of the birth of Jesus. So many things have happened to distract me and I will once again try to slow down and let Jesus speak to my heart.
I was reflecting on Mary and her "Yes." to the Spirit. Can you imaginge being about 13 or 14 and being told that you will be impregnated with the Spirit and your baby would be someone super special? The messiah! I do recall talking with God and letting him know I didn't know what I was going to be "when I grew up." I was truly in a quandery but I honestly wanted to do what God wanted me to do. It was not until my senior year of high school that I knew I would enter the convent with the Sisters of Loretto in Kentucky. I would have felt more settled with my life choice if I had been able to be a priest. But that was not allowed.
Little did I know that one day that desire would be fulfilled. God's call would be answered in spite of canon law. The grass roots Catholics said to be ordained and I answered. One day the Vatican will catch up with the grass roots people of God.
We pray you will have a wonderful Christmas for you and your family. If you are not able to join us at one of our services, please keep us in your prayers as we pray for you.
Love and peace,
Wanda
