MERRY CHRISTMAS! As we celebrate this
wonderful feast of God becoming one of us in the Christ Child, I wish you all
Blessings and Joys of this Holy Season!
I especially
want to welcome all who join us in this holy and holiday time.
WELCOME to all our regular and faithful
parishioners. We are so blessed by your presence!
WELCOME to any college or university
students home visiting family from other institutions of higher learning. We
are so happy to see you again!
WELCOME to any relatives or friends
visiting family or friends here in Austin. We rejoice that you are with us and
we hope your stay in Austin is WONDERFUL (but
not so wonderful that you want to move here – just kidding!)
WELCOME to any visitors who were last with
us for Easter or last Christmas. We are happy to see you again! Know that you
are always welcome, and we are blessed the more that we enjoy your presence. I
hope and pray that we will see you more often!
WELCOME to any Christians of another
denomination. You are our brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus and we are happy
and honored to have you with us during this festive and holy time of year, or
at any time. Glad you are with us.
WELCOME to the members of other faiths or of
no faith. You honor us by your presence and we are pleased that you have come
to visit us. We all live on this one planet, our Mother Earth, and we are all
called by our common humanity to honor and respect each other. Thank you for
joining us.
WELCOME to any who have come in just to get
out of the cold or out of the night. You are most welcome. We are happy to
share with you the music, light, decorations and joy of this very special
season. WELCOME.
And to all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
