All Things Are Possible 

   “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.  Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God.  And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren; for nothing will be impossible for God.” (Luke 1: 35 - 37) 

   The Virgin gave birth to the Son of God, the Savior of the world.  Her relative gave birth to John the Baptist even though she was barren and well beyond childbearing age.  Nothing is impossible with God.

   Lazarus and others were raised from the dead.  Evil spirits fled.  The sick, the lame, the lepers, the deaf and the blind were healed at the word of Jesus.  Nothing is impossible with God.

   Rejected by those He came to save, Jesus was abandoned, beaten and nailed to a cross.  He died and was placed in the tomb.  On the third day He arose.  Nothing is impossible with God.

   A ragtag group of simple fishermen and others spread the word of Christ throughout the world.  Their successors spread it still.  The Church begun by Jesus Christ still clings to His teachings and His will.  Nothing is impossible with God.

   I, who am a sinful man, can turn to God, repent for my sins and be forgiven.  Not once but every time I come before Him in sorrow and repentance.  I, who have no claim and no right to the love and mercy of the Lord can look forward to eternal life in His presence.  Nothing is impossible with God. 

The Virgin gave birth to the Savior of the world.

The blind saw, the deaf heard, the sick were healed.

Evil spirits fled and the dead were restored to life.

My sins are forgiven because of Your love and mercy.

Nothing is impossible with God. 

Amen
