"Mountaintop Experiences" are the high points in our spiritual journey--moments when we are keenly aware of God's presence and will for our lives. But there is something even more firm--the Word of God--which sustains us in the valleys of life and sheds light into the murky darkness, guiding us in hope.

Jesus teaches us the true meaning of the Law, revealing our need for a Savior, our need for the grace He shows us by His death and resurrection. Forgiven and joined to Him in baptism, we hunger and thirst for righteousness, we shine His light in the world.

You are the salt of the earth...the light of the world.

In Christ Jesus, you are blessed!

We have our unity in Christ Jesus, crucified and risen from the dead, in whom we are baptized and have our life.

Like John, we know who Jesus is, and like Andrew, we tell our neighbors about Him.

There is reason to hope! The Servant has come to heal and forgive.

Jesus, our Savior, came to save you. He accomplished this through His suffering and death--a suffering first shown at His circumcision. In Holy Baptism, He has claimed you as a child of God, redeemed by His precious blood.

Christ the Savior is born! Alleluia!

Christ your Savior is born. Alleluia!
