As you place baby Jesus in the manger on Monday I offer you the following blessing you can do as a family: Read Isaiah 9:1-2, 5 Leader: Let us pray in silence for the coming of peace into the world and into our home. Pause for silent prayer. Lord, as we pray before this our Christmas crib-shrine and await the feast of the Birth of the Holy Child, call forth the dormant child from within each of us; cause us to wonder and to rejoice again in this most ancient feast. As the magi came bearing gifts, may we, this Christmas, gift one another with the gold of charity, the myrrh of kindness, and the incense of prayer. With the shepherds, we come to the birth of Christ seeking a simple celebration, where the greatest gift will be ourselves given to You, our God, and to each other. May the star of Bethlehem which shone brightly over the first crib stand guard over our home, filling it and all the earth with light and peace. You may sing a Christmas song such as Silent Night. We Adore You, O Christ, and we bless you because by Your holy birth You give hope to all the world. Amen. REMEMBER IN PRAYER Pray For The Sick...

She trustworthy. So it was that there came forth from one man, himself as never left the temple, but worshiped night and day with fasting and prayer. And good as dead, descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as coming forward at that very time, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the countless as the sands on the seashore. By faith Abraham, when put to child to all who were awaiting the redemption of Jerusalem.

A Holy Advent Leads To A Joyful Christmas During Advent, we wait for the gift of pure love. Taking time each day this season to create moments of watchful silence and thoughtful preparation will lead to real joy at Christmas. Watchful silence. For God alone my soul waits in silence, for my hope is from him. (Psalm 62:5) God does not shout. He speaks quietly and softly, in a still small voice. (1 Kings 19:11-12). It isn t always heard in the rush of daily life but in the silence of our hearts. During Advent, slow down, quiet down and listen for the still small voice of God. Prepare. Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving (Colossians 4:2). We fall into sin because our hearts are not continuously turned to God. When we confidently turn to Him each day, He will give us the protection and strength we need to withstand the darkness of sin. God does not expect us to be perfect but He does want us to be a little better today than the day before. Regular confession is indispensable. Celebrate. We were created to have a mutual, loving relationship with God. In fact, He loves us so much that He sent His Son to show us, tell us, and die for us. Celebrate our love story on Christmas with Mass and joy. Adorers Needed: We are needing permanent replacements for adoration at the following times: Tuesday 1:00 to 2:00 a.m. and Friday 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. If you feel called to do these times with Jesus, please call Janet Holub at or
