CANDLE FOR BLESSED SACRAMENT By Norma & Denis Lewis

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 25TH, 2016

GOSPEL MEDITATION

As Christians celebrate Jesus’ birth today. Let’s fix our

eyes on the baby Jesus and make him the first priority of

our day. Let’s carve out some private time with him in

prayer before all the celebrations begin. Maybe you can

even gather the family and pray together. And let’s

contemplate God’s humility and his magnificent plan for

us—a plan that was grounded in what is unquestionably

the most dramatic act of humility ever.

La Meditazione del Vangelo Come i cristiani celebrano la nascita di Gesù oggi'.

Cerchiamo di fissare lo sguardo sul bambino Gesù e lo la prima priorità della nostra giornata. Diamo ritagliarsi qualche tempo privato con lui in preghiera prima di

tutte le celebrazioni iniziano. Forse si può anche riunire la famiglia e pregare insieme. E contempliamo l'umiltà di Dio e il suo magnifico piano per noi, un piano che è stato messo a terra in quella che è senza dubbio l'atto

più drammatico di umiltà mai.

Meditación del Evangelio A medida que los cristianos celebran el nacimiento de

Jesús hoy. Vamos a fijar nuestros ojos en el niño Jesús y hacer de él la primera prioridad de nuestros días.

Reservemos del tiempo con él en oración antes de que empiecen todas las celebraciones. Tal vez puedas reunir a la familia y orar juntos. Y contemplemos la humildad de

Dios y su magnífico plan para nosotros, un plan que estaba basado en lo que es sin duda el acto más dramático de

humildad jamás.
