Fr. Greg's Notes
Dear Friends,
I’ve received and sent a lot of Christmas cards in my life. Has anyone ever seen a Christmas card that has John the Baptist on it? John the Baptist is a prominent figure in the story of the coming of Jesus. It is not surprising he is absent from Christmas cards because John’s message is not entertaining; it’s dead serious: we need to repent and prepare.
How am I preparing for Christmas? Is there change that Jesus is calling for as I continue to prepare for the coming of the Savior that we all need? What do I need to let go of? What do I need to repent of in order to have a better Christmas? Is there a grudge or a resentment I need to let go? Is there someone I need to reconcile with? Might this be a good Advent to go to confession?
I invite you to go to confession this Saturday 10-11:00am at our St. John’s site in Hugo or 3:30pm at our church in Centerville. You may also call the Parish Office at 651-429-7937 and make an appointment.
Peace,
Fr. Greg
