Weekly Income For December 14-15, 2019
Today we celebrate the 4th Sunday of
Advent. Christmas comes this week. Soon and very soon we are going to see the newborn King. Today’s gospel tells us the story of how the birth of Jesus came about, -the story of how God fulfilled his promise, “All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means “God is with us.” So, sisters and brothers, whatever you are going through in your life, always remember that God will never leave you nor forsake you. God will be there for you. For indeed, His name is Emmanuel: God is always with us. Amen
On
Happy New community!
Our Lady Star of the Sea Pray for us
Fr. Emanuel Bishop Fernand Cheri- Bishop Fernand Cheri, the Auxiliary Bishop of New Orleans will celebrate Christmas Day Mass on Tuesday, December 25th, at 10:00 am here at Our Lady Star of the Sea. Please spread the news and invite your friends and family members to join us in celebrating the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ with Bishop Cheri.
When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel had commanded him.
God’s initiation demands a response. If He is calling you , pray for
the courage to respond wholeheartedly, as did St. Joseph.
