Spirit and Truth NJ ~ Friday, December 28th






 And the Word was made flesh, 
and dwelt among us... John 1:14


 Join us for a Christmas Holy Hour
Adoring Jesus, truly present
 in the Blessed Sacrament










 We will Celebrate the 4th Day of Christmas 
with a Game Night

Please feel free to bring in games to share 








When God came into the world, He came as Scripture tells us, obedient first of all to His Father's Will; then, as a Child and through His growing manhood, He was obedient to His mother Mary and to Joseph. In the Eucharist, too, He is totally submissive. The moment a duly ordained priest pronounces the words of Consecration, Jesus Christ comes down on the altar, He obeys. This is our faith. And perhaps this is the hardest lesson to learn, to love God obediently. It means, as we know, obeying God not only interiorly or according to our own understanding or interpretation of God's Will, it means obeying God as that divine Will is explained and interpreted for us by His very fallible and weak human creatures.

Father John A. Hardon, S.J.
