Today we joyfully celebrate Catholic Schools Week! We pray in thanksgiving for our students, families, teachers, and staff who help form disciples of Christ every school day.
Today, we'll hear how Jesus' cousin, John the Baptist, saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.” (Jn 1:29)
There are millions upon millions of stars in the sky on any given night. Yet for the three wise men, only one mattered. The star over Bethlehem meant something different than all the others in the universe. Instead of conveying the vastness of space, it meant something else: Emmanuel. God is with us.
