Greetings in Jesus and Mary..... A Blessed Christmas to all! I am sharing words from Bishop Sheen as I love spending Advent with the writings of Bishop Sheen. He is such a gift for our time. I know there is a lot of controversy regarding him since Vatican II. I would love to talk to him about many things (as well as many others during that time in Church History); but may we take the good that he and others have left us to strengthen us during this time in history. May we pray to those who have gone before us so that they may help us with their prayers. May the light of Jesus be within each and every person through the prayers and intercession of our good Queen and Mother Mary! A message from Archbishop Fulton Sheen..... "Sanctity is not giving up the world. It is exchanging the world. It is the continuation of that sublime transaction of the Incarna- tion in which Christ said to man: “You give Me your humanity, I will give you My divinity. … You give me your nothingness, I will give you My all.” This requires not much time but much love." Bishop Sheen has called the joys of this world tinsel. May we all not invest in the tinsel of this world but in the gold of the preciousness of our Faith in the Real Presence which will last for all eternity. May we truly seek Jesus Who is truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. He was born in Bethlehem which means "house of bread" in a feeding trough. (There are no coincidences in Holy Scripture.) May we make a resolution this Christmas for the coming New Year to be truly present to the Real Presence of Jesus among us ........ in the little white Host - our "Gold" found on this earth! May Our Blessed Mother lead us to Her Son Truly Present in the Eucharist! May Good St. Joseph, pray for us! May we pray for an increased love and belief in the Real Presence for ourselves and for all those we love and throughout the world so that His Love will reign in the hearts of all men. Immaculate Heart of Mary, please send forth the graces of Your Flame of Love....to all of mankind! Blessed Christmas to All!
