blowing snow. I couldn't see the runway until it was evident that
our plane was now sideways, with the wings pointed to the ground
and we were some 20 feet from disaster! It was at this point in my
life that for the first-time I knew what was really important to me.
Yes, my life 'flashed' in front of my memory. I said my silent, "I
love you" to my wife, Michelle, over and over. Then I
immediately plunged into that cry of help, "O, Lord! Help us
please! Take care of us! Please Lord! 0, my."
Time stood still. In fact it may have been the matter of three or
four seconds before the pilots abandoned landing our small plane
and righted us, while climbing back into the sky. Yet it could have
been minutes or hours and it felt like an eternity.
All of the "things" in my life mattered not at all in that moment.
All o f my investments, all of my work, all of my anxieties about
debt, and success and making my mark fled!
In that moment when the angels told of the gift of God in
Bethlehem of Judea to those humble shepherds, all that mattered
was the moment and the love they felt toward God. Reality was in
a moment transformed into an eternity. The preciousness of "love
come down at Christmas” was all that mattered. The supernatural
had become natural.
Forget for a moment all the things, the pressures, and the worries
which confront your daily living and remember the people, the life
and the love which make living a precious gift, rejoicing with the
angels at its appearing! Do something extraordinary for someone
you love - this is the moment! Carpe Diem!
May the blessings of moments be yours this Christmas!
In his love and service,
-Father A1

On Thursday, December 18,

people die each year due to

minutes someone dies from
alcohol so, every 20 minutes a n
OSSOM club member dressed in
black and painted his face white
to represent the dead.
The
