Our culture of ever faster change cries out for stability, but we cannot resist the change. Our challenge is to act like Elizabeth; in wisdom, we are to embrace the good of the change and act as bridges of the new. Yet, we are to be like Mary and bring Christ into an insecure world that needs faith.

How can you use wisdom this week to make judgments about the new and the old? As this year ends, what do you need to conserve in your life? What do you need to renew? ... See MoreSee Less

At the time of Jesus, Jews expected four different types of Messiahs.

First, militant Jews looked to a Davidic king to rise up from the populace and lead a revolt against the Romans.

Second, many Jews expected a great High Priest to cleanse the Temple from its corruption and restore a pure worship.

Third, some yearned for a Great Teacher like Moses to explain the Law plainly and led all Jews in the way that would please the Lord.

All three of these Messiahs would come from the people and would have some sort of pedigree (education, lineage, family or professional connection).

But the last Messiah would appear from nowhere. And his authority to judge would come from God himself: the "Son of Man" from Daniel 7:13.

The Davidic king would be known for his military genius. The High Priest would be known for his zealous purity in worship. The Great Teacher would be known for his wisdom. But the Son of Man would be known as God's agent of judgment. ... See MoreSee Less

Deacon Larry Heck has been a Deacon for the Archdiocese of Omaha for over 40 years—serving at St. James Catholic Church for 20 years and here at St. Patrick Gretna for the last 21 years. We are so blessed to have had Deacon Larry here at St. Patrick Gretna for as long as we have!

His presence on the altar will be missed, but we are incredibly grateful for all that he’s done, and will continue to do in retirement, to minister to the community. We will host a formal retirement dinner to honor Deacon Larry on Friday evening, January 24. Parishioners are invited, but asked to RSVP to attend. More information coming soon. ... See MoreSee Less

John the Baptist's ministry prepared for the coming of the Christ. His followers were open to the preaching of the One anointed by the Spirit. His baptism of repentance prefigured the sacrament of baptism. His death prefigured the death of the Messiah. As the image of John pointed backward to Elijah, it pointed forward to Jesus.

As the year ends, we, too, look back to the past for comfort and reflection. But we look forward to the coming of One Greater. Let us take the time to "Get ready." Take some time this week to review this year. What were your high and low points? Now, look forward to Christmas. How can you entrust the next year to the Lord? ... See MoreSee Less
