THE FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT – December 24, 2017
TTHE FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT – December 24, 2017
Reflection
Jesus was born of Mary, the betrothed of Joseph, a son of David
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew
This is how the birth of Jesus came about.
When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the
Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to
divorce her quietly. Such was his intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her. She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his
people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son, and they will name him Emmanuel, which means “God is with
us.” When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had
commanded him and took his wife into his home. He had no relations with her until she bore a son, and he named him
Jesus. The Gospel of the Lord
St. Stephen
Saint Stephen was one of the first ordained deacons of the Church. He was also the first Christian martyr. The Greek
word from which we derive the English word martyr literally
means witness. In that sense, every Christian is called to bear
witness to Jesus Christ, in both their words and their actions.
Not all are asked to shed their blood. Those who do shed
their blood for the faith are the greatest of witnesses. They
have been especially honored since the very beginning of Christianity. Stephen was so conformed to Jesus in his holy
life that his martyrdom was both a natural and supernatural
sign of his love for the Lord. It also inspired the early
believers as they faced the first round of brutal persecution.
St. Stephen is often depicted with stones, a Gospel Book, a
miniature church and a martyr's palm frond. He is the patron
saint of Altar Servers, bricklayers, casket makers and
deacons and his feast day is celebrated on December 26.
A Prayer by Deacon Keith Fournier Lord Jesus, you chose Stephen as the first deacon and
martyr of your One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
The heroic witness of his holy life and death reveals your
continued presence among us. Through following the
example of his living faith, and by his intercession,
empower us by your Holy Spirit to live as witnesses to the
faith in this New Missionary Age. No matter what our state
in life, career or vocation, help us to proclaim, in both word
and in deed, the fullness of the Gospel to a world which is
waiting to be born anew in Jesus Christ. Pour out upon your
whole Church, the same Holy Spirit which animated St Stephen, Martyr, to be faithful to the end, which is a
beginning of life eternal in the communion of the Trinity.
St. Michael the Archangel
Ask Sr. Rose
What is a Sacramental?
Sacred signs which bear a certain resemblance to the sacraments, and by means of which spiritual
effects are signified and obtained through the prayers of the Church.
Example: The blessing of a Church, or an Altar, of holy oils, vessels, and vestments, blessing of bells,
water.
