It is unique for each of us as each of us is called to be a unique, distinct saint by Almighty God. It is a call to EXIT one-self. Because of our situation as sinners, fallen from \u201cOriginal Grace\u201d, (disoriented and lost), it is a call of which all of us have a distinct fear and resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sacramental dynamic is a component of \u201cSacramentality\u201d. Saints of the Old Testament had it as do the Saints of the New Testament. Some people try to ignore it because it is challenging. Challenging and Powerful it is, but NEVER FORCEFUL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This dynamic finds its beginnings with Original Sin when we became disoriented and confused, \u201cincomplete\u201d in our being, in need of Salvation. Thus each of us is conceived in \u201ctotality\u201d but born \u201cincomplete\u201d. We carry a frailty, a weakness, a proclivity to confusion. We experience temptations to error and sin. We have a vulnerability that we must recognize and face. By the Grace of God, through Salvation, we can become complete as we trod this life, falling at times but recovering whenever we fall and continuing to trod, overcoming our vulnerability and navigating to Eternal Life. That navigation presents its mysteries and doubts. Almighty God mercifully guides us through that navigation by means of Salvation, through the hazards of this life in distinct steps of maturity, clarity, wisdom and charity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTotal yet Incomplete\u201d; thus, we are vulnerable, easily confused and disoriented. In need of Salvation, we are incapable of attaining Salvation on our own. Our Salvation had to come and does come from the ONE<\/strong> who is ENTIRE (Total, Complete and Eternal), the ONE<\/strong> who is completely beyond us in Being and in Virtue. In order to realize our salvation, HE and only HE had to become one of us; Vulnerable and Frail open to temptation as we are, yet WITHOUT our proclivity for confusion, completely clear in His Revelation and Manifestation. He could have rejected the entire scenario of Salvation with NO COST to Himself but leaving all of us confused and lost. He had to become \u201cIncarnate\u201d. He did!<\/p>\n\n\n\n We celebrate that Incarnation and Arrival in that ONE<\/strong>, our Savior Jesus Christ, one of us in the human, transcendental nature, yet also completely \u201cONE<\/strong>\u201d in and as Almighty God with the Father and the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each year the Yuletide season marks that celebration. I invite you, along with your families and communities to join us in spirit for these celebrations as I wish you a:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Happy Hanukkah-Yuletide-Christmas season and Blessed New Year of 2025!<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n in the Love of the \u201cONE<\/strong>\u201d, Jesus Christ<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pe.
