So, my friends, did you worship God by your actions today, or mammon? Did you take people's holidays from them yesterday by participating in the sacrilege of shopping on Thanksgiving? Were you rude to the service people today who had to suffer through our country's annual worship of money and cheap goods?
Are you planning on spending Advent and Christmas thoughtfully, with friends and family, or by partaking in a buying frenzy for things no one really needs? Or will you seek out faith services and family time? Will you make time to volunteer? Will you be giving heartily to charities? Will you seek out the homeless to offer them help and cheer?
This is a sacred time of year; how you spend it shows where your priorities are. Do you value God, family, friends and charity, or do you worship the things of this world?
God's grace be with you,
Fr. Charles Butler
