"O Adonai, and Leader of the house of Israel, you appeared to Moses in the flame of the burning bush and gave him the law on Sinai: come, and with an outstretched arm, redeem us" (Traditional "O" Antiphon). As we know from the Scriptures, Jesus did not come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it. God made a covenant with His people and by the coming of His Son, Jesus, we have been renewed and redeemed. We continue to pray for God's unconditional love, mercy, and forgiveness. That will be made manifest as we celebrate the birth of Christ. Let us continue to prepare ourselves for the coming of Christmas by turning away from sin and turning back to God through the gift of reconciliation! Have a blessed day!!!
