Coming in 2020 will be a new “General Directory for Catechesis”

from the Vatican. The General Directory for Catechesis is a doc-

ument written by the Congregation for the Clergy of the Roman

Catholic Church, based in Rome. ... The document largely dis-

cusses practical and theoretical aspects of linking catechesis to

evangelization. It is addressed both to the clergy and lay

catechist. The last directory was 1971.

In the Archdiocese of San Francisco we are looking forward to

this guide and will be preparing with area meeting as to how to

implement with our programs.

Think about it this way. We prepare for everything we consider important in life. You

wouldn’t show up to play in a football game and expect to win if you had not been

training. You wouldn’t show up unprepared to give a big presentation at work and expect

to get the project. We don’t expect to excel in exams if we have not studied. Consider the

preparation that goes into hosting a barbecue, a dinner party, or a wedding.

Now I don’t mean the typical Christmas preparations. Buying and wrapping presents.

Baking cookies. Planning parties. Putting up the lights, the tree, and other decorations. I

mean preparing you. When was the last time you prepared your heart for Jesus’ coming at

Christmas?

Looking for a simple way to start preparing your heart to receive the Jesus, this

Christmas season? Join us for Best Advent Ever.

We prepare for everything we consider important in life. In every case

preparation makes a wonderful experience possible. When was the last time

you prepared your heart for Christmas?

Advent is a season of preparation. And if we want to experience the true

magic and meaning of Christmas, we need to take a break from our to-do

lists and get our hearts ready for Christmas. (From Dynamic Catholic)

Here are some questions for family sharing during the Advent Season

Where did you see in another person Jesus today?

Share one gift that you see in each person in the family

Read the Christmas story and pick one of the characters in the story

that you would like to be. Share why you picked that character with

your family

Make special Christmas bread or cookies to share with a friend for

Christmas

Each Sunday at Mass listen carefully to the readings and reflect on a

part of the reading that you feel is special and why?

Do prayer rings of paper that string together and on the inside place

people to pray for each day. Keep adding to the string and hang in

your house for Christmas.

Mensaje Navideño de sencillez y ternura…

Al contemplar la esencia de la Navidad, nos fijemos en el pesebre y la

cuna para la inspiración en medio de tantas realidades duras que nos

enfrentamos hoy en día. Algunos de ustedes tal vez no quieran contem-

plar el rostro de la humanidad sufriente, pero eso es precisamente lo

que hace que la Navidad sea tan

especial. El sufrimiento nos pone

en contacto con nuestra condición

humana vulnerable y la conciencia

profunda de que Jesús asumió esta

naturaleza nuestra para traernos

paz y gozo, Consuelo y amor. El

Papa Francisco dice: “ En la sencillez del pesebre encontramos y contemplamos la

ternura de Dios, manifestada en el Nino Jesús”

“Contemplando este Dios-hecho-carne, nuestros corazones se inspiran por la belleza

y la simplicidad del establo y nos invitan a “mirar, considerar, contemplar, para que

pueda imitar,” en las palabras de Santa Clara de Asís. San Francisco fue e Corazón y

inspiración de reproducir en vivo el nacimiento de Jesús. El invita al pueblo de Asís a

formar parte del primer pesebre navideño que simulaba para que todo el mundo

pudiera ser movido por el “Amor que nos ha amado”.

A Christmas message of Simplicity and Tenderness

As we contemplate the essence of Christmas, we look to the stable and crib for inspiration in the midst of so many harsh

realities we are faced with today. Some of you might not want to contemplate the face of suffering humanity, but that is

what precisely makes Christmas so special. Suffering puts us in touch with our vulnerable, human condition and the pro-

found awareness that Jesus assumed this nature of ours to bring us peace and joy, comfort and love. Pope Francis says,

“ in the simplicity of the crib we find and contemplate the Tenderness of God manifested in the Child Jesus.”

Contemplating this God-made-flesh, our hearts are warmed by the beauty and simplicity of this setting of the stable and

we are invited to “gaze, consider, contemplate, so what you might imitate,” In the words of St. Claire of Assist. St. Fran-

cis went to the heart of the matter when he invited the people of Assisi to be part of the first Christmas stable that he

simulated so that everyone could be moved by the “Love that has loved us.”
