First Sunday after Christmas, December 29th, 2024
In the Fourth Chapter of the Letter to the Galatians, we hear the following: "God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ." It is never good to be "full of ourselves." In other words, we should never think too highly of ourselves than we ought, but when you consider the fact that God thinks so highly of His creation that not only did He send His Son into the world to save us, but that as a result we are now considered "sons" and "daughters" of God, the honour is beyond comprehension! Think about it, God has chosen you . . . He has redeemed you . . . He has made you His very own child! The only thing that we have to do is to respond and then act accordingly. So often, when we are out and about, we may see a child in a store who is throwing a fit. And the first thought to our mind is: "What an ungrateful child" or "spoiled child." And, yet, when it comes to the spiritual life, are we not "spoiled children" to Our Heavenly Father? Perhaps, we ignore God completely. Perhaps, we only approach God when we want something. Maybe, we don't hear God speaking to us because we are too far away and not paying attention. We have to always remind ourselves on a daily basis the dignity and honour that God has given to each one of us by being called "son" or "daughter" of the Almighty.
Join us at 10:30 AM on Sundays at St. Margaret church. We worship at the beautiful chapel at Marquette Manor, located at 8140 N. Township Line Road on the Northwest side of Indianapolis.
Please consider joining us for Mass. Come hear the Word of God found in the King James Version of the Bible and the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. Consider setting aside an hour of your week where you can dedicate that time solely to God. Come hear the Word of God. Listen to God speaking to you directly and hear what He has to say for YOU! Receive the Precious Body and Blood at Communion time to be strengthened and nourished for your journey!
