St. John Neumann
Catholic Church

Here’s another little known truth we are called to share: Things can’t affect our souls in the way we need to be affected. But, there is a someone that can affect us in a mighty way. This someone has been given to us. This someone does not demand attention, does not require obedience. This someone invites attention and counsels obedience. This someone seeks only our good, and the good of all, and the love of that Source we call God.

For four Sundays, we have waited, with Advent expectation. Like the child in the womb of a pregnant mother, the expectation of Advent has grown, and is ready for birth. The anticipation of this birth is not the same kind of giddiness we experienced as a child, but the joy is real…deeper. The joy is deeper, more profound, for it gets to the heart of our neediness, the hunger and thirst for “completion”…and no “thing” can satisfy this soullonging.

The someone that can satisfy us has been given to us. A Savior has been born and seeks to be Savior for each of us. Christ’s Mass is near. Come, let us adore Him, together…as the parish family of St. John Neumann.
