Feastday: December 30 Died: 303 St. Sabinus and Companions December 30 Martyr with St. Exuperantius, Marcellus, Venustian, and companions. They were put to death at Spoleto, Italy, during the persecutions of the Church under Emperor Diocletian. Sabinus was a bishop (he is claimed by several cities, including Assisi, Spoleto, and Faenza); Exuperantius and Marcellus were his deacons; and Venustian and others were converts. The martyrs were brought before the local governor, and Sabinus converted many and cured a blind child. ~From Catholic Online Seminary Collection Today, we have a second collection for the Savonarola Theological Seminary in Scranton.

When they saw this, they made known the message that had been told them about this child. All who heard it were amazed by what had been told them by the shepherds. And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as it had been told to them. This is the Gospel of the Lord. Praise be to You, Jesus Christ. Our Savior Recipe Page This week s recipe is by Patricia Cramer Spinach Dip 1 10 oz. Package Frozen Chopped Spinach 1 16 oz.

Solemnity of the Humble Shepherds Contemporary Rite, p. 63 Hymn of Faith p. 13 vv. 1 & 2 Penitential Rite, p. 66 Entrance Hymn V. For when peaceful stillness compassed everything and the night in its swift course was half spent, Your all-powerful Word from heaven s royal throne bounded, a fierce warrior; into the doomed land. R. Your throne stands firm from of old; You are from everlasting, Lord. V. Glory be... R. As it was A Reading from the Book of the Prophet Jeremiah. Jer 31:10-14 Hear the word of the LORD, you nations, proclaim it on distant coasts, and say: The One who scattered Israel, now gathers them; he guards them as a shepherd his flock. The LORD shall ransom Jacob, he shall redeem him from a hand too strong for him. Shouting, they shall mount the heights of Zion, they shall come streaming to the LORD s blessings: The grain, the wine, and the oil, flocks of sheep and cattle; They themselves shall be like watered gardens, never again neglected. Then young women shall make merry and dance, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into joy, I will show them compassion and have them rejoice after their sorrows.
