The Week from Saturday 3^rd January 2026

Clergy Thoughts: On this 2nd Sunday in the octave of Christmas, we continue to share in the joy of the newborn king. We continue to greet the Word made flesh that now dwells among us, and we continue to rejoice because, as the wisdom of God, he dispels our darkness and illuminates our lives. God chose to enter our human story, sharing our joys and struggles, so that we might share in His divine life. The readings invite us to deepen our appreciation of the great mystery of God’s love for us, a love so complete and unconditional that it made its home among us, and to respond to that love by letting it take possession of our hearts.  For Christ, the word made flesh, still comes to us always in the Eucharist, in His Word, and in one another. As we begin a New Year, let us carry the light of Bethlehem into our daily lives, reflecting God’s love through kindness, patience, and forgiveness. May Mother Mary help us to keep Christ close and share Him with the world. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2026 to you all. Amen. Fr Alex
