Many places in our area lost power for 4,5,6 days last week. You might be able to see in the rising sun on the solstice the ice frozen on the tree limbs and the the trees that are broken. On Tuesday I gave up and moved into the parish house.
In his Gospel (2:23) Matthew tells us that Mary's son will be called Emmanuel, which means God-With-Us. At the very end of his Gospel Jesus promises, "I will be with you always. (28:20)" Matthew bookends his Gospel with this name. That can help us understand that we are saved, not only by the dying and rising of Jesus, but by his entire life, beginning with his Incarnation and Birth.
