Pilgrim Priest Fr. Joel Sember

We say we believe in a loving God, but often time our images of God don’t match up with our actual beliefs. Jesus shows us God’s intentions and invites us to the banquet of heaven. How do you respond?

Jesus knows he is God’s Son but he still needs to hear the Father tell him, “Son, I love you, and I’m proud of you.” God sends his Holy Spirit so that we, too, can be well pleasing to our Father.

Jesus came for all people — poor shepherds and wealthy foreign wise men. Though you may not have the treasures they did, you are a gift, and you too can lay your treasures at the feet of the little King. Let me show you how.

The family is born from the sacrifice that is the total gift of self to the other. This sacrifice creates a covenant which is capable of revealing the face of God to their children and to the world.

How often we leave Jesus out of our family time, our daily lives, our Sunday plans, even our Christmas plans! The gift of Jesus is actually the answer to all your prayers. The only thing Jesus wants in return is YOU.

Peace only comes when we welcome the Christ Child. And Christ only comes to hearts that are humble, obedient, and oriented towards self-sacrificing love. Mary and Joseph will help you prepare your heart for Jesus.
