DECEMBER 25, 2015-Nativity of the Lord
"And we saw his glory." Never before or since, in the entire course of human history, have men and women been
able to gaze upon the face of God. But for a brief moment in time, God "became flesh and made his dwelling
among us." This is the remarkable event we celebrate today.
At that first Christmas some two thousand years ago, the glory of God was revealed through the face of a child.
As a tiny, helpless creature, completely dependent upon his mother to sustain him, this humble little baby came
into the world. Yet this infant was "the only Son, God, who is at the Father's side." Why is it that the eternal majesty
of the triune God should choose to appear in such a simple way? How does this humility reveal what St. Paul calls
today, "the refulgence of [God's] glory, the very imprint of his being"?
Today we celebrate a holy day that is unlike any other. Indeed we celebrate a BELIEF that is unlike any other
when we proclaim, as Christians, that God became man and walked in our midst. No other major world religion
makes such an astonishing claim. And with this comes our unique understanding of the humble nature of God.
We believe in a God whose glory is not the glory of the world. His majesty is not like that of earthly kings and rulers.
Rather, we believe in a Heavenly Father who loves his little children enough to live among them. This Father takes
joy in the joy of his children. Jesus once remarked that just as we desire to give good gifts to our children, "how
much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him" (Mt 7:11). This Christmas, may we
remember that the greatest gift is Christ himself.

DECEMBER 20, 2015 4th Sunday of Advent
"Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste." What
was the rush? Why did Mary go so quickly to visit her cousins
Elizabeth and Zechariah? It's hard to know exactly what her
purpose was, but one thing is clear: Mary and Elizabeth
shared a special connection. Perhaps Mary was anxious to
be in the company of someone who could understand her
unusual situation.
At this point, Mary was newly pregnant by the power of the
Holy Spirit. The verses preceding today's reading tell us
about the appearance of the Angel Gabriel and Mary's
willingness to become the mother of the Messiah. Now, this
child was already growing within her womb, but the whole
thing was an incredible secret. Who would believe her? In
whom could Mary confide the unbelievable events that
had taken place? We know that at some point later, Joseph
had a vision in a dream that allowed him to understand. But
before that dream came, he was planning to part ways
with Mary. It must have been during that difficult time that
Mary went to see Elizabeth. And what joy that upon her
arrival, Elizabeth immediately understood. "Blessed is the fruit
of your womb," Elizabeth cried out. The same Holy Spirit who
conceived Jesus in Mary's womb enlightened Elizabeth at
this moment. What a consolation this must have been to
Mary.
This story reminds us of the importance of our own fellowship
in the faith. Sharing our spiritual journey with other believers
who are receptive to the Holy Spirit is meant to be a source
of encouragement and strength. We are not supposed to
be in this alone. As we worship and celebrate together with
our faith community, may we share with each other the real
joy of this sacred season.

Sharing the Gospel with Children: Mary and Joseph put all their trust in
God. Once they found out what God
wanted, they did it. God wanted Mary
to have a special baby, and she said
"yes" to God. God wanted Joseph to be
a good husband and father, and Joseph said "yes" to
God. When that special baby from God was finally
born, Joseph named him Jesus. One day God would
ask Jesus to save the world from sin on the cross, and
Jesus would say "yes" to God.
Prayer
God, help me to trust you and say "yes" to you.
Something to Draw
Draw a picture of Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus.
Mission for the Week
Saying "yes" to God takes practice. When your
parents ask you to vacuum or set the table or take
the garbage out, say "yes" to them.

PRAYER for LIFE-Heavenly Father, from the smallest
cell to the largest creature, you are the origin and
creator of all life. May we be so in awe of your wondrous
power that we never take for granted the wonder of life,
the beauty of creation or the potential of every person.
We recognize the value and worth of human life, from conception
to natural death. Help us to protect and nurture all life so that in
perfect harmony we may offer to you a fitting song of living praise.
We ask this through Jesus, your Son, who lives and reigns forever.
Amen. ~Rev. James Gaffney
