PAGE 3 FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT DECEMBER 20, 2015 READINGS FOR THIS WEEKEND FIRST READING: MICAH 5:1-4A GOSPEL: LUKE 1:39-45 Thus says the LORD: Mary set out You, Bethlehem-Ephrathah too small to be among the and traveled to the hill country in haste clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who to a town of Judah, is to be ruler in Israel; whose origin is from of old, where she entered the house of Zechariah from ancient times. and greeted Elizabeth. Therefore the Lord will give them up, until the time When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, when she who is to give birth has borne, and the rest of the infant leaped in her womb, his kindred shall return to the children of Israel. and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, He shall stand firm and shepherd his flock cried out in a loud voice and said, by the strength of the LORD, “Blessed are you among women, in the majestic name of the LORD, his God; and blessed is the fruit of your womb. and they shall remain, for now his greatness And how does this happen to me, shall reach to the ends of the earth; that the mother of my Lord should come to me? he shall be peace. For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, SECOND READING: HEBREWS 10:5-10 the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed Brothers and sisters: that what was spoken to you by the Lord When Christ came into the world, he said: would be fulfilled.” “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me; in holocausts and sin offerings you took no delight. Then I said, ‘As is written of me in the scroll, behold, I come to do your will, O God.’“ First he says, “Sacrifices and offerings, holocausts and sin offerings, you neither desired nor delighted in.” These are offered according to the law. Then he says, “Behold, I come to do your will.” He takes away the first to establish the second. By this “will,” we have been consecrated through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

We wish all of you a very Blessed and Holy Christmas. May you know His Presence in a DECEMBER 20, 2015 TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Many of our most treasured traditions link the liturgy of the church with the hearth of the home. The food on the table at certain feasts and fasts helps to extend the mystery into everyday life. Tonight, for example, many families of Italian heritage, especially those with links to the south of Italy, will settle down to the “Feast of the Seven Fishes,” or La Vigilia. It is a command performance for the whole family, as the saying goes: Natale con I tuui, Pasqua conchi vuoi, or “Christmas with your family, Easter with whomever you wish.” Seven different fish, some say one for each day of Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem, others say one for each sacrament, or one for each day of creation, are served. Eel and shrimp, lobster and crab, calamari, pasta with clam sauce, flounder and hake all abound, but most especially baccala, dried salted cod. Why? Many say that it is a way to pay homage to the beasts of the stable who witnessed the holy birth and relinquished their manger to make way for God. Tonight, if someone asks you to “pass the shrimp,” you’ll be able to shed a little light on a menu that is a delicious treasure in our tradition! —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. The Parish Offices will be closed on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve and New Years Day.

The reading from Micah reminds us that of the seemingly unimportant town of Bethlehem, "from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel." Luke's gospel offers again the story of Mary's going to visit her cousin. Elizabeth understands immediately Mary's situation and praises God saying, "How does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy." This may be one of the most difficult weeks to be reflective throughout each day. This weekend may be quite full for many of us. Others of us may be alone, apart from the faith community we will join on Sunday and Friday, perhaps daily this week. While some of us have had guests staying with us and a house to clean, others of us will be reviewing memories and struggling, even a little, with being alone. If we celebrate the Vigil of Christmas on Christmas Eve, Matthew's Gospel (though any of the gospels for Christmas may be used at any of the Christmas liturgies) offers the history of Jesus' family. Whether this week is full or slow, it is a treasure-filled opportunity for reflection. Using the same means we've been using, we can let the richness of this week's readings and feasts fill the background of each day. Even on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day we can wake up, surrendering anxiety by letting the anxiety of these days take us to the scene of our Lord's birth. We can imagine the anxiety that filled the experience of Mary and Joseph. We can keep in our consciousness their trust in God. The Christmas music on the radio or at our church services and liturgies can bring the faith of these hymns and songs into our hearts. And, once it is there, these songs of faith will remain in the background all day long. When we are tempted to worry or complain, to be hurt or angry, to be frustrated or exhausted, the hymns will draw our hearts to rejoicing and gratitude. The first celebration of The Nativity of the Lord is the Mass at Midnight. The first reading is from Isaiah: “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shone.” This powerful reading deserves a slow contemplation. The Gospel is from Luke: the journey to Bethlehem, the birth, the angels announce the birth to the shepherds. The second celebration of The Nativity of the Lord is the Mass at Dawn. The Gospel is from Luke: the shepherds visit the newborn child. “And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart.” Thinking about Stephen the Martyr with a little desire and focus, can guide our hearts to reflect on the meaning of Christmas - the gift of self-giving love. We can ask ourselves, what generosity can come from the gratitude I have in my heart after celebrating the gift of redemption? Who in my world needs more love? What happens in me when I think about the people in the world who need my support? Who is being martyred today? Who is witnessing our world's rejection? The third celebration of The Nativity of the Lord is the Mass during the Day. Here the Gospel is from the beginning of John's Gospel: “And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father’s only Son, full of grace and truth.” All of us can imagine Jesus, Mary and Joseph going home. We can imagine their daily lives. We can ask for the grace to live in God's presence, just as they must have done, and for the grace to be sensitive to each other and care for each other as they must have. We can ask that we might imitate their busy lives, trusting and dependent on God. Looking on their hidden life together, we can grow in a desire to be more humble, in a peace with greater simplicity, in a courage to let God take care of us. Whether we experience the poverty of that holy stable or the ordinary simplicity of daily routine, we can enjoy this week as a special opportunity to be drawn to a greater closeness with Jesus. Luke's Gospel is our guide this week. On the 21st, we repeat Luke's story of the Visitation. The story continues on the 22nd with Mary's beautiful response, "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord." On the 23rd is the naming of John by Zechariah. On the 24th, during the day, is Zechariah's prayer of praise after being allowed to speak again. The scenes and canticles, or songs, which are part of the story, are so well known to us that we can miss hearing them with an open heart. December 26th celebrates St. Stephen, the first martyr. The Sunday that follows Christmas is always the celebration of the Holy Family. There are wonderful readings from the Book of Sirach, the First Book of Samuel, and Paul’s letter to the Colossians or the First Letter of John. The gospel is the story of the teen aged Jesus teaching in the temple while his parents could not find him. Jesus goes back home with his family. “He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart. And Jesus advanced in wisdom and age and favor before God and man.” Taken from the "Weekly Guide for Daily Prayer" on the Creighton University's Online Ministries web site: http://www.creighton.edu/CollaborativeMinistry/online.html Used with permission. PAGE 6 FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT DECEMBER 20, 2015 Jubilee Year of Mercy December 20, 2015 2015 CHRISTMAS SCHEDULE: Fourth Sunday of Advent In proclaiming the Jubilee Year of Mercy, Pope Francis proclaimed his desire that this Holy Year be “steeped in mercy,” as we disciples “go out to every man and woman,” bringing the “balm of mercy” to “believers and those far away, as a sign that the Kingdom of God is already present in our midst!” (Misericordiae Vultus, 5). In her visitation of Elizabeth, Mary beautifully presents just such an image. Despite the perils of her pregnancy, not to mention her preoccupations as a young unwed mother, Mary instantly, unselfishly, “goes out” of herself, hastening far and over dangerous terrain, to “bring the balm of God’s tender mercy” in assistance rendered to her older relative. Since baptism and the Eucharist have made us, in a way, bearers of the living Christ within as Mary was, such selfless “going out” of ourselves to be of loving service to others in mercy should especially mark our Christmas season this Jubilee Year. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J.

How is everyone doing as we begin this Fourth Week of Advent? Christmas is just a few days away and by now we should be prepared for Jesus and for Christmas in general. The special day is almost here. Are we ready? In our Gospel from Luke this week, Mary set out for the house of Zechariah. (Do you think she was going for the Expectant Mother’s Blessing?) Elizabeth, knowing and filled with the Holy Spirit, said to Mary, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.” Elizabeth knew Mary was favored by the Lord and was ready to help in any way she could. The baby in Elizabeth’s womb knew that Our Savior was with Mary! Walk with King Jesus and be a blessing, Deacon Charlie Thought for the Week: The best possible Christmas gift is the forgiveness and peace of Christ. I wish each and everyone a very Merry, Blessed and Holy Christmas. May Jesus bless your families & friends as you gather with one another.
