COMMUNAL RECONCILIIATION ~
“He went about…proclaiming a baptism of repentance which led to the forgiveness of sins…Luke. As we prepare to celebrate the birth of our Savior, we know that there is a need to “repent” in all our lives. Jesus came to save us, not from all the frantic activities that occupy so much of our time and efforts these days before December 25, but rather from broken relationships, a lack of compassion towards the needy, barriers that we have created between ourselves and God. The good news is that God, in Jesus, can mend our brokenness and tear down our barriers.
In this time of Advent, there is no better and no more necessary way to prepare to celebrate Christ’s birth than by celebrating the forgiving and healing touch of God in our lives.
COMMUNAL PENANCE SERVICE at St. Gabriel’s, Minerva, Tuesday, December 15 at 7:00 PM. Several diocesan priests will be available for confessions.
