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. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. LA PROMESA DE DIOS El largo pasaje de Samuel expone de manera maravillosa la promesa de Dios a la dinastía de David: que su trono siempre estaría ocupado gloriosamente por sus descendientes. Oculta en el misterio de la profecía está la promesa del Salvador, el Mesías, Hijo de Dios e Hijo de David. El profeta Natán, quien habla en nombre de Dios, desbarata poéticamente el plan de David de construir una casa para Dios y anuncia que el plan de Dios es construir una casa, una dinastía, para David. De esta dinastía de David provendrá el Mesías, el Cristo, quien no llegará con el esplendor majestuoso con el que reinó David, sino que vendrá como un hombre humilde, que gobernará por los siglos de los siglos. Cuando Dios hace un regalo; lo que recibimos es asombroso: es muy distinto a lo que podríamos haber imaginado. Copyright J. S.

We Are Keeping Our Capital Campaign Promise If you devoted every moment of your whole life exclusively to His service, you could not give Him anything that was not in a sense His own already. C. S. Lewis Our parish is truly blessed to have many generous families who are keeping their promise to support the parish s Capital Campaign. We are well on our way to keeping our promise to support the $2,244,385 Capital Campaign pledge we ve made. Thank You! Muchas Gracias! Salamat! As of December 11, 2017, we have received $380,894 with $262,416 toward our PLC debt and Diocesan Programs. We highly encourage those who have yet to start their pledge to keep their campaign pledge. Most importantly, we appreciate your stewardship to our parish and we hope you remain supportive of our Capital Campaign The pledges donated to the Capital Campaign is a tax write-off, a nice tax deduction for April 15, A payment to the Diocese is anticipated to be made late December If you are new to our parish or have not yet made a pledge we ask you to prayerfully consider pledging to the Capital Campaign. Anyone who would like to make a pledge should visit the information display in the narthex, or call the rectory at for pledge or online payment information at All payments received at the rectory or postmarked by December 31, 2017 will be included on 2017 Campaign Statements, which will be available by mid-january, Our goal is to have 100% participation in our parish!

4 A Christmas Contemplation on the Nativity of the Lord Christmas Eve and Christmas day are moments of contemplation. We consider, in many dimensions, the mystery of love that was incarnated for us. We contemplate the light and joy, without forgetting Jesus and Mary s sorrows and sufferings, and the many difficulties that had surrounded them: the cold, the uncomfortable place, the dangers. Accompany these thoughts by reciting and meditating slowly on the Holy Rosary, preferably in front of a crib, the blessed grotto of Bethlehem, that testified to the wonders! This Holy Christmas contemplate Mother Mary and Blessed Joseph as they gazed on their Son. If our faith must be fully evangelical, it cannot neglect a sane and profound devotion to the Mother of God, as she shows us the easiest way to reach Jesus. In the silence of this Holy Night, may your heart be illuminated with love, joy and peace. The hope of the world begins in God s heart. It becomes complete when it reaches the heart of man with love and understanding. HOLY INNOCENTS THIS Thursday, December 28 The Holy Innocents are the children mentioned in the gospel of Matthew, Chapter 2: Herod, perceiving that he was deluded by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent his soldiers to kill thousands of male children ages two and under that were in Bethlehem and on the borders, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men. Then was fulfilled the prophesy of Jeremiah: A voice in Rama was heard, of lamentation and great mourning; Rachel bewailed her children, and would not be comforted, because they were not. It is impossible to determine the day or the year of the death of the Holy Innocents; but we know is that the infants were slaughtered within two years following the apparition of the star to the Wise Men.

TREASURES OF 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. Rev. James Field, Copyright J.
