Some customs proved to be especially difficult for the reformers to wrest away from the people, especially those celebrated in the home. This week in Sweden, a country where the Catholic Church was disestablished four hundred years ago, a Catholic martyr from Sicily is the most beloved figure. St. Lucia, Lucy, is celebrated on December 13. The long-story-short is that Lucy was a Christian whose father wanted to marry her off to a pagan fellow, and she rejected her father's authority. To make an example of her, her father had her killed. In the course of the brutal martyrdom, Lucy lost her beautiful eyes, but her vision was miraculously restored. The candles worn today by the eldest daughter of the family are tokens of the fire that refused to harm the saint. So this patroness of light and clear vision is revered on the shortest, darkest days of the Nordic winter. Before the reform of the Gregorian calendar in the sixteenth century, December 13 was the winter solstice. Today, young girls appear in the morning wearing lighted candles on their crowned heads (battery-operated now after many mishaps), and serve sweet rolls and coffee to everyone in the house. For the Swedes, who are not churchgoers, the "Lucias" are the official heralds of the holiday season and a sign of everyone's yearning for more light in this world. Europe once abounded with customs like this; the survival of this custom in Scandinavia is a sign of God's grace, and how fertile the soil is to receive the true message of Advent. --Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

THE LOOK OF LOVE What does love look like? It has feet to go to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of others. --St. Augustine To say the Chromebooks have been a blessing to the middle school would be an understatement. With this technological update to our hallway, we have been able to incorporate technology into our lessons in new ways. The Chromebooks are faster and more reliable, so we are able to do interactive, web-based projects on sites like Thinglink and Prezi. Google Classroom, Google Docs, and Google Drive are now seamlessly used without hassle. Mini research projects covering saints are being included in Religion, and in Math students are able to use Khan Acadamy to challenge themselves further. In English, students are creating performance poetry by hosting a digital poetry slam. In Social Studies students are able to research, and virtually "tour", historical worlds. These Chromebooks have elevated Nativity of Mary's academics and made our curriculum more engaging and modern for students.
6 DECEMBER 11, THE THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT Today is Gaudete Sunday, which means "rejoice." For three weeks now we have been preparing for Christmas and, one hopes, enjoying some peace to pray and anticipate the coming of the Lord, not just as a baby two thousand years ago, but also in the end-times, the parousia, when the Lord will come again in glory. This is the Sunday when the rejoicing begins. Advent, unlike Lent, is not a penitential time, but a time of waiting and anticipation for the fulfillment of God's promises. "[We] will see the glory of the LORD, / the splendor of our God" (Isaiah 35:2). So, "Be patient, brothers and sisters, until the coming of the Lord... Make your hearts firm, because the coming of the Lord is at hand" (James 5:7, 8). THE ONE WHO IS TO COME John the Baptist, wanting to confirm that Jesus is the Christ, sends his disciples to inquire about him. Jesus responds, echoing the words of the prophet Isaiah, "Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them" (Matthew 11:4-5). By this reply, Jesus knows that John will recognize that he is the Messiah, the one who is to come, and rejoice. MORE THAN A PROPHET Jesus then turns to the crowds, and teaches them, and us, about John the Baptist. John must have been quite a sight, and quite a forceful preacher. He drew great crowds, including Pharisees and Sadducees, who came out to see and hear him, and many were baptized. John has spent years baptizing with a baptism of repentance in preparation for the One who is to come. Jesus in turn pays tribute to his kinsman, and at the same time reveals his own mission as the Anointed, the One who will come to bring salvation to all who believe. He praises John, and reveals that John is the prophet who has come to proclaim the coming of the Reign of God in Christ. Jesus says, "This is the one about whom it is written, / Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you; / he will prepare your way before you" (Matthew 11:10). So, as James tells us in the second reading, we must not complain about one another so that we will not be judged in those final days. We can rejoice in the coming of the Reign of God. We must be patient. We celebrate Christmas not only as the secular holiday with Santa and the reindeer, the Christmas tree, the gifts, the parties, and all the glitz, but as the Incarnation and the joyful coming of the Lord our God. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Company From the loneliness of his prison cell John the Baptist asks of Jesus: Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another? The weeks before Christmas offer much to be joyous about, celebrating with family and friends, the glitter of seasonal decorations, the excitement of gift giving and re-ceiving. But in our midst there are the lonely and neglected, the poor, the hospitalized, the wayward, the shut-ins. There are those seemingly without hope. To whom should they look? Discipleship in the Lord includes being good stewards of others. Are there those in our family, our neighborhood, our community to whom we can reach out to show them a sign of Christ s presence in their midst? Produce good fruit as evidence of your repentance. St. John the Baptist The Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph is committed to combating sexual abuse in the Church. If you are a victim of sexual abuse, or if you observe or suspect sexual abuse: 1.

7 Reflection As a young child, I spent many nights watching my mother embroider a crewel tapestry of the Peaceable Kingdom. Slowly, a few tufts of yarn became an owl, a sheep, or an ox. I was in awe as I watched it develop. Like any good crafter, Mother carried her bag of tools with her wherever she went, and she might get in a few stitches while watching TV, or during her coffee break at work, or even while visiting friends. When it was finally finished, she hung it over the couch in my family home, helping my brothers and me be a somewhat peaceable kingdom. Isaiah s vision may seem unrealistic, something that could never happen. In a time when our nation is in a period of political unrest, it seems especially surreal to imagine how opposites will ever be able to live and play nice side by side. But that tapestry, which now hangs in my office, reminds me of lessons my mother taught me in her crafting: We have to start from scratch with a blank canvas; we must be open to God working within us. We cannot be afraid to rip out our mistakes and rework them. We cannot use the same stitch to heal everything; we must use the proper stitch at the proper time. We must pay close attention and put love and thoughtfulness behind each stitch. We must put it down and walk away at times, so as to come back with a fresh perspective tomorrow. We must be patient and have faith; it all takes time. We must remember it will not always be easy or fun. We must not give up. Many tire along the way and never bring their tasks to completion. We must always keep the end in mind. We must realize that things don t always go exactly as planned. Many times the slight imperfections are the things that create the life and beauty. Prayer Crafter of the universe, in this season of Advent, let me find time to sit with you as you shape me and change me, bit by bit. Help me to do my part to tear down divisions, to build bridges of love. Let me place my hope and faith in the coming Christ, knowing that he will bring all good works to completion.
