A Christmas Message

Mommy ! What shall I wear for Christmas Mass?
Oh , I have layed out your outfits on your beds.
The family arrives early enough to listen to the
choir sing Christmas songs before Mass.
They enter inside their pew quietly
and peacefully.
Mass begins and "The Gloria prayer " is sung!
Mother looks at her children with utter joy.
As Mass continues on the "Bells ring!"
The Church are on  their knees
during the consecration of the
Bread and Wine.
The parents looks across the pew with
the look of pride, that their
children are giving honor
and respect to Christ Body
and His Blood.
The Children have all grown up now,
and the family pew has become more
empty.
Father,and Mother are alone in the
family pew now. They enjoy
Mass together and are in
 wondrous praise to Our Lord.
They  sit together remaining
quite, and ever so peacefully.
They both are watching the families
all around them, young and old
in awe with Jesus !
They remember their own children
sitting beside them in their family pew.
The mother's eyes turn watery for she
loved those times with Her children.
They are both in prayer, for all
their children. They ask for God's
protection of love to embrace
them always.
They both go forward in receiving
the Most Holy Eucharist
They pass by the large manger
placed in the front corner of the Church.
They both glance at the infant Jesus,
that brings joy to ALL people !
Oh Our lives may be changing
but JESUS ALWAYS REMAINS.
He is THE TRUE GIFT OF CHRISTMAS.
His gift of himself always remains.
each time we go to Mass and
receive him in the Most Holy
Sacrament of the Eucharist.

Dear One's, We are to honor the Sabbath Day weekly in going
to Mass or Church Service.
It is the third commandment of God (Remember to keep holy
the Lord's Day.)
If you are unable to attend on Sunday then go on Saturday
evening vigil Mass or Service.
We are to keep Holy Christmas Day, as well as Easter Sunday .
If you are unable to attend then watch Mass or a church service
on your T.V. or listen on your radio.
I am praying always for you and ALL who are 
EMBRACING THE CROSS OF JESUS !

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND GOD BLESS YOU !!
