1 John 2:18-21; Psalm 96; John 1:1-18

Emmanuel: God-with-us.

A fitting way to end our year! Once again we hear the opening words of John’s Gospel and are reminded that the Word of God truly dwells among us. The Risen Lord has walked with us all through the year that is ending, despite its pain and darkness. He will walk with us again in the year that is about to begin. The more we are able to allow him to teach us step by step how to surrender to his loving guidance the more we will be able to incarnate his presence in our world.
