The prophet Nathan, speaking in God s name, poetically turns around David s plan to build a house for God, and announces God s plan to build a house, that is, a dynasty for David.

3 December 23rd & 24th, 2017 GOD S PROMISE The lengthy passage from Samuel is a wonderful exposition of God s promise to the house of David: that his throne would forever be gloriously occupied by his descendants. Hidden in the mystery of the prophecy is the promise of the Savior, the Messiah, Son of God and Son of David. The prophet Nathan, speaking in God s name, poetically turns around David s plan to build a house for God, and announces God s plan to build a house, that is, a dynasty for David. From this house of David will come the Messiah, the Christ, not in kingly splendor as David ruled, but as a humble man, destined to rule forever and over all. When God gives a gift, it s amazing what we are given so different from what we ever could have imagined.

I will plant them so that they may dwell in their place without further disturbance (2 Samuel 7:1-5, 8b-12, 14a, 16). Psalm-For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord (Psalm 89). Second Reading-To the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be glory forever and ever (Romans 16:25-27). Gospel- Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word (Luke 1:26-38). TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Children of the parish are somewhat focused on Santa Claus these days, who is keeping an eye on who s naughty and who s nice. Santa Claus, with his heavenly patron Saint Nicholas, has been more or less in charge of gift-giving to American children for a hundred years or so. In other places, perhaps more attentive to our Christian tradition, there are different gift-bearers. In Greece, Saint Basil delivers the presents on his feast day, December 31, and makes sure everyone is sprinkled with holy water. The Baby Jesus is in charge elsewhere, called the Christkind in Austria and Belgium, El Niño Jesús in Columbia, and Le Petit Jesus in France, where he shares his duties with Père Noël. In the Czech Republic almost everyone is atheist, but Ježíšek, the infant Jesus, brings gifts to one and all. In Poland the Star Man is said to bring the gifts, although often he turns out to be the village priest in disguise. Saint Nicholas, not his Americanized cousin, is the giver in Holland, where he wears a bishop s miter, and in Russia, where he wears a bishop s crown. Soviet Russia tried to dethrone Saint Nicholas and promote Grandfather Frost, but no one was much fooled by this attempt to squeeze religion out of Christ s birth. One country has a saintly woman in charge of the gifts, Saint Lucy, honored in Sweden on December 13, when children serve their parents breakfast in bed, and others awake to news that they have been nominated for a Nobel Prize. Some children have a second round of gifts on Epiphany, when the magi assume the gift-giving duties. In general, the gifts of Christmas are simple pleasures, not great heaps of treasures. Once upon a time, a new pair of socks or an orange was enough for us. No matter what gifts we receive, all of them are to point us to the true gift, and the true giver.

5 December 23rd & 24th, 2017 Many, Many Thanks! The San Pedro Women s Guild would like to thank everyone for supporting the Holiday projects! The annual Thanksgiving food drive was a great success! Though your generosity we were able to provide food for 41 families who are parishioners or live in the Upper Keys. Along with the bulging baskets and because of donations from an anonymous parishioner and the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach, we were able to provide each family with a ham and turkey. We also provided each family with gift cards to be redeemed at local grocery stores. Our Angel Wreath project was able to provide gifts for almost 166 children in our parish and the Upper Keys. We had never had so many requests from needy families. Your response was overwhelming! Not only were our parishioners and visitors taking children s tags for themselves, but many took multiple tags that were distributed to coworkers and neighbors. A special thanks goes out to those who didn t take tags, but donated cash or brought in bags and boxes full of toys, and said give to any of the children in need. For those of us who work on this project, this year was a very moving experience that brought many tears to our eyes and those of the parents that were able to provide Christmas gifts to their children because of YOU.
