Prepare Your Hearts for Jesus!

In just a few days we will celebrate the birth of our Savior!  Really think about this - the meaning of Christmas. We are celebrating Jesus' birth!  The Son of God came to earth - as both human and divine - yet without sin, to teach us how to live.  He teaches us how to love - how to love our family, our friends, and even how to love our enemies.  He teaches us how to pray - as He would often go away from the crowds and pray to His Father in heaven.  Through all of this, he teaches us how to grow in holiness and leads us on the path to heaven.

This Christmas, have a thankful heart!! Thank our Father in Heaven for sending His only Son into the world to save us and lead us to heaven!

Fr. Williams asks us:  "What are you going to give to Jesus for Christmas?"  Why not give Him a thankful and loving heart, and a strong desire to grow in holiness?!  He will lead you on the path of holiness and sainthood!

May God bless you and all of your family abundantly this Christmas season!  He is Peace!
