For this special night, Father Mor- rissey cited the verse "He came unto His own, and His own received Him not". Christ came to us, therefore we are His own - do we also reject Him? Jesus has made a mark on this earth, left His presence here from 2000 years ago. When the sun shines upon the moon, nothing happens, for it is a dead satellite. When the sun shines upon the fertile ground of our earth, seeds respond and grow, as we bloom when the light of Christ shines upol us. Small ideas win quick victories but large truths require time to. be believed eventually all the earth will accept Him as their own Saviour. Sunday marked the Feast of the He- ly o-ly Family, with Bishop Sherlock of the London Diocese, celebrating. both Sunday masses here at Grand Bend. Special blessings were bestowed on individual families following the masses. In his sermon, Father Morrissey pointed outl`the realities of the Holy Family of Nazareth. They had to con- tend with Mary's pre -marital pregnancy, an untimely birth in a stable, and several moves, often in fear and haste. Today's families are afflicted with these same problems, as well as drugs, illness, and unemployment. Every family is made up of a complicated network of relationships, like a cobweb - strong, but affected by the slightest tremor. Every family member has a specific role to play, as the children are encouraged to grow and mature in an atmosphere of forgiveness, sharing, flexibility, and most of. all, love. Each family should be an occa- sion of love. Father Morrissey would like to thank all members of the choir for their beautiful music, and to thank Margaret Schoeley, who decorated the church. There will be mass on New Year's eve at 7:15 p.m., as well as masses on New Year's day at 9 and 11 a.m., to celebrate the feast day of Mary, the Mother of God.
