Our Lady of La Salette ParishFa mily Sent on MissionMission Statement for Our Lady of La Salette ParishWe, the Roman Catholic Family of Our Lady of La Sale!e, have the living andwelcoming presence of Jesus Christ as the center of our life, especially in the Eucharist.Through worship, the proclama"on of the Gospel, service, and the work of theNew Evangeliza"on, we con"nue the reconciling ministry of Jesus Christ.The Nativity of the Lord / The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and JosephDecember 25/26, 2021O Child, who willed to have for your crib a manger;O Creator of the universe, who stripped yourself of divine glory;O Redeemer, who offered your vulnerable body in sacrifice for the salvation of humanity!May the radiance of your birth light up the night of the world.May the power of your message of love thwart the proud snares of the evil one.May the gift of your life make us understand ever more clearlythe worth of the life of each human being.Too much blood is still being shed on the earth!Too much violence and too many conflicts trouble the peaceful coexistence of nations!You come to bring us peace. You are our peace!You, Mary, who keep watch over your all -powerful Son,grant us your eyes to contemplate him with faith;grant us your heart to worship him with love.O Holy Night, so long awaited, which has united God and man for ever!You rekindle our hope.You fill us with ecstatic wonder.You assure us of the triumph of love over hatred, of life over death.In the luminous silence of your Nativity, you, Emmanuel, continue to speak to us.And we are ready to listen to you.Amen!— From the Midnight Mass Homily of Saint John Paul II, December 24, 2003.Image adapted from Luis com/lasale"eberkley
