FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DECEMBER 10th, 2021
To the Faithful of the Reformed
Catholic Church and all People of Goodwill:
As we prepare for the celebration
of Christmas, we are thankful for the good news that opens up for us the
beautiful message of this holy season: God loves us, ALL OF US, so much that he
sent his only Son to redeem us and show us the way to Heaven. God’s plan was to
redeem all of humanity; it is all-inclusive. We at the Reformed Catholic Church
take this message seriously and invite all who wish to do so to join us in celebration
this Christmas, either in person or online. We invite you to join us in worship
throughout the rest of the year as well.
The best gift we can give each
other is to share our faith with loved ones and strangers alike, proclaiming
the joyous tidings that “God is with us!” We should reach out to one another
with all the blessings God has given us, especially the gift of peace. Our
world, our country, and our homes are often witnesses to violence, prejudice,
and fear. Christmas is a time for us to counter these ills by loving each other
as deeply as God loves us.
Our Reformed Catholic community
wishes all of you--no matter your denomination or religious beliefs--peace and
goodwill. We want to assure you of our prayers and best wishes during this
joyous season and always. Let us pray:
Loving God, may Your blessing fill us with the wonder of Mary, the
obedience of Joseph, the joy of the angels, the eagerness of the shepherds, the
determination of the magi, and the peace of the Christ child. May we all find
greater understanding and reconciliation after this past, challenging year. May
our faith and belief be deepened in this time of joy at Your Son’s birth. May
Your blessing provide us with the grace for a better, happier new year. May
almighty God—Father-Creator, Son-Redeemer, and Holy Spirit-Sanctifier--bless us
now and forever. Amen.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
The Bishops & Board of Directors of the Reformed
Catholic Church
