Remember the Wood of the Crib...

...is a sign of the Wood of the Cross

It is easy to get caught up in the drama of Christmas. There is nothing more beautiful than the story of the birth of the Infant. This baby however is born for a reason. He has come to redeem the world. Already we can see the wood of the cross hidden in his tiny crib, a manger or feeding trough.
 
The story of his life that records his birth in Bethlehem is the Greatest Love Story Ever Told. Let us respond to this love by turning away from all that separates us from the love of God in Christ. Prepare for his ultimate Remember coming within our hearts. Make room for him. In these final days before Christmas. Give your heart to him in the sacrament of Penance. The sacrament will be celebrated on Wednesday, December 22 and Thursday, December 23, from 6:30 to 7:30 pm.
