FATHER GLEN’S

THOUGHTS…..  

 

This weekend we celebrate the Solemnity of Mary on New Year’s Day and Sunday is the Feast of the Epiphany.  As we begin the new year we honor Mary and her motherhood of our savior, and the visit of the Magi who followed the star to find the newborn king.  With Mary’s help we too can follow the light of Jesus and find him in our hearts and how to serve him in our world.

 

Let us begin this new year determined to follow Jesus ever more closely and with heartfelt love just as Mary does.  In this way we will serve God’s plan to bring salvation into the world today through the way we live our faith in him.  The Magi let nothing stand in the way of finding the newborn king.  May we let nothing stand it the way of serving Jesus in our lives.

 

May we all have a very blessed, loving,

and faith-filled New Year! 

 

Father Glen Jenson, Pastor
