Spiritual Message from Fr Michael:
Christmas: A time of reflection – hope for eternal life; ” For there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved”.
Acts 4:12
Our Lord Jesus Christ was born in a manger, wrapped up in swaddling clothes, bound by it.
For the true king is the one, who is bound to the other in love. Who becomes weak for the sake of the other.
The earthly king comes to be fed by his people. Unlike our heavenly eternal king comes food for His people.; This is my body, this is my blood – I Am food and drink for you. So you may eat an drink eternity.
Earthly kings have armies that comes with powerful weapons for destruction. But our king has, a Host of angels, and their weapons are, love, compassion and non- violence.
So, let us all reflect on Baby Jesus who comes to take us with Him to heaven. Let us all reflect on the spiritual power that comes shining through Christmas.
