As St. Paul teaches the Corinthian Church, each of us have a specific call from God in the Body of Christ – to offer our gifts and talents to the purpose of the whole. We all have value.

The Light of the world who changed water in wine, still shines as brightly in our lives today.

Our baptism into Christ is God’s eternal gift to us. And living out the Baptismal Covenant is the way that God makes sure we are able to continue in God’s love.

“All of us have received the revelation of Jesus Christ as God’s Saviour of the whole world. As Church, we have to be the same revelatory “crèche” that Bethlehem was for the Wise Men.”

Authentically receiving the gift of Christmas doesn’t require in-person worship with glorious choirs – it requires opening ourselves to the life-transforming gift of the Son of God for each and all.
