The Gospel of Luke begins and ends Jesus’ life with the Gloria in Excelsis Deo. We are to never forget that what began in Bethlehem will end in Jerusalem. The Christmas story leads to Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Because of Jesus, there is now peace on earth and peace in heaven!
Gloria in Excelsis Deo – which was sung by the Angels and shouted by the people on Palm Sunday – continues to be our song today!
Glory be to God on High
for His peace and goodwill
in His Son Jesus Christ!
Amen!
