Bethlehem Moments

This is a special edition of Rupert’s Land News. In this issue, people from across the Diocese have submitted their Bethlehem Moments. As we enter the seasons of Advent and await the coming of Christ, we once again listen to and learn from the story of the Nativity — the first of many times the world encountered Jesus and was forever changed by His presence. Hearing the story of the Nativity again gives us the opportunity to reflect on the moments when we recognized the presence of God in our own lives — our Bethlehem Moments.

In every moment of our lives, through thick and thin, God is with us and He loves us. This is why He is our Emmanuel. With the arrival of Christmas Day, we celebrate Christ’s body — His coming into the world as fully divine, and now, fully human. Together, we live our stories. Together, we welcome our Saviour. Together, we celebrate the Body of Christ as the Body of Christ.

Peace be with you, and Merry Christmas.
