LIGHT OF THE WORLD // Silent Night

This past Sunday, we began a new series: LIGHT OF THE WORLD!! As we journey through Advent and prepare for Christmas, we recognize that Jesus is the true light of the world. He enters into the darkness of our lives to bring us His life, love, and healing.

Jesus came into the world 2,000 years ago and He will come again at the end of time, but He is also coming into the world right now! Every time we pray and go to Mass, Jesus comes to dwell in our midst.

Don't let the things we say at Church stay at Church!! Use these questions to comfortably bring Jesus into your everyday conversations with friends, family, and even those you might not know very well (yet!).

• Does silence make you uncomfortable? Peaceful?

• How do you normally fill your free time?

• What place does silence have in your life?

• What does it mean for Jesus to be the light of the world?

• How does Advent help prepare us for Christmas?

Jesus' greatest gift of love to us is the Eucharist. In fact, it is more than just a gift. It is also the Gift-Giver: Jesus gives us Himself every single time we receive the Eucharist.

Come by every week to revisit the Youth Mass Homily!! This past Sunday, Fr. Edwin preached on the faith that we are called to have in God, who will always take care of us if we choose to follow His will and Word, in small ways and in big ways. Listen now!

We can make space for God in our hearts by spending time in silent prayer. This week, find 10 minutes to out your phone on Do Not Disturb and sit in silence with God. Let Him know what is on your heart!
