All of us know people who are distant from God and the Church. Maybe they are trapped by their sins; maybe someone else's sins have trapped them; maybe the hard circumstances of life have made them forget that they are remembered by God, their Savior.
Why not reach out to those people in these weeks before Christmas?
Why not offer help to them with their holiday chores?
Why not invite them to have a cup of coffee or hot chocolate, to sit in the warmth of your home (or their own) to talk, to invite to come back to Mass?
Why not do something to remind them that God hasn't forgotten about them or given up on them?
If we reach out to others in the name of Christ, He Himself will be with us.
We will give Him the opportunity to rekindle His unique, everlasting hope in a cold and darkened heart.
Is there any better Christmas present than that?
