Reflection of Father Moreno's Homily: December 11, 2011


Father Moreno said that he remembers the greatest Christmas gift he received was when he was 12 years old he got a telescope.
With a telescope we can focus

With the telescope of life we need to refocus on the beauty of the universe, focus on the positive.
Optimistic people call us to joy, to let go, to see the beauty of God, to rejoice to be in the presence of the Lord, to be courageous to say “YES” to God.

The moon reflects the sun
Mary is the moon who reflects Jesus the Son
Mary is the moon, the saints are the stars
   
When there is sadness, fear, loneliness, hardness in our life, we need to go to the Lord and He will give us life.
 
Rejoicing is spiritual joy, to know that we are loved by God.



Praise the Lord for the gift of life.
Without Jesus we are empty.

Assignment: Every time we are negative and we criticize, we have to say an “Our Father”.



Pray to the Holy Spirit for the strength to rejoice, to be joyful, and to be at peace.
