As the Christmas season, celebrations and gatherings took over, I contemplated this past year’s experiences and moments of God’s presence.

Christmas serves as a reminder that the Light has entered the world, and we have the choice to walk in the Light or to pursue the path of darkness.

Today we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

We cling to the joy of this season; a season of our Lord's birth and the hope that His birth brings to us.

Routines and rituals provide us with opportunities to go deeper into the meaning of that routine or ritual.

Lately, however, I am drawn to sacred memories of the Incarnation that pull me deeper.

Beyond our wildest imagination, we deeply matter to God!

In making room for Jesus in our hearts, may we nurture the lives of our children, “for surely the hand of the Lord” is with them.

My eyes return to Mary waiting silently in the dark, desert cold. “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord. My spirit rejoices in God, my Savior.”

Emmanuel means “God is With Us”, you and me, and this is our Hope and belief on our Path to the Manger.
