My overall impression of the Old Testament was that it was long, convoluted, and downright weird at times.

There was no stopping the apostles from proclaiming the Good News

Jesus can heal our weakness, but only if we accept His healing

Jesus heals physical and spiritual blindness

Our sins are our responsibility

Humility is the key to the Kingdom

We are each given a critical role in salvation

Let us not forget the awesome miracle we are witnessing in the Eucharist

Mary, like the Ark, bears God within her

The Christmas miracle is a love story infinitely greater than any Hallmark Holiday movie

God's plan for the Messiah was so much bigger than they imagined

Embrace the burden of your role in God's mission

The season's joy is a reminder of the everlasting joy of Heaven

Truth and Goodness will prevail

God gives us the courage we need to do the right thing

From Kings to lepers, everyone is blessed

As followers of Christ, we need not fear death.

God enlists our help to foster the growth of the Kingdom, starting here on Earth

God delights in every opportunity to show His love and mercy

Three spiritual lessons we can learn from fruit
