Assuming that you are Catholic and that you believe in God, Do you believe God is a) a personal God with whom you can have an intimate relationship b) an impersonal force who set the whole world in motion c) a internal spark of divinity in all of us d) whatever you were culturally conditioned to believe e) a fairy tale; a pie in the sky when you die invented to keep the masses hypnotized Did you know that only 60% of Catholics in the U.S. actually believe in a God who is personal. Furthermore, only 48 % of Catholics were ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that the God they believed in was a God with whom they could have a personal relationship. Source: Pew Research Centers Forum on Religion and Public Life, U.S. Religious Landscape Survey, 2008 GOD IS PERSONAL. When we could not find our way back to him because of our sins and our personal rejection of him, God sent his only Son, born like us, in our flesh, to show us how to BE HUMAN, and to lead us back to the Father. Only through his Son, can we come back to the Father. No other Name has been given to us by which we can be saved. Because he died for us, we accept his Salvation. We accept his Lordship when we choose to live for him. GOD IS A PERSONAL GOD. God is a God of relationships. His love for you is personal. This is why we celebrate Christmas. God toook the initiative. God took the first step. He longs for you. Invite him today to come into your heart. Have a Blessed and Joy-filled Christmas. Peace and Blessings to all. Fr. Mario
