Assumption-Florian Parish Bulletin, December 22, 2024
For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my
ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy. (LUKE 1:44) When you hear the
scripture readings and Gospel reading at Mass, do you leap for joy? If not,
dont blame the lecturer or priest, rather look inside yourself. What are you
doing to grow in friendship with Jesus? How do you prepare for Mass each week?
Do you just show up and expect to be entertained? As, the Body of Christ, we
are called to be active participants, not just passive observers.

Do Something Beautiful for God The
Essential Teachings of Mother Teresa
December 20 One thing I ask of you: Never be
afraid of giving. There is a deep joy in giving, since what we receive is much
more than what we give.
December 21 Life is full of paradoxes. I have
found that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more
love.
December 22 Love has no other message but its
own. Every day we try to live out Jesus love in a very tangible way. In every
one of our deeds. If we do any preaching, it is done with deeds, not with
words. This is our witness to the Gospel.
December 23 In God we live and move and have our
being. It is God who gives life to all, who gives power and being to all that
exists. But for His sustaining presence, all things would cease to be and fall
back into nothingness. Consider that you are in God, surrounded and encompassed
by God, swimming in God.
December 24 Its not how much we give but how
much love we put into giving.
December 25 At Christmas, we see Jesus as a
little babe-helpless and poor. And he came to love and be loved. How can we
love Jesus in the world today?
December 26 Am I convinced of Gods love for me and mine
for Him? This conviction is the sunlight that makes the sap of life rise.
