ALTAR SERVERS

FRANCISCAN CORNER

The man of God (St. Francis) stood before the manger, full of devotion and piety, bathed in tears and radiant with joy. The Holy Gospel was chanted by Francis, a dea-con. He then preached to the people about the nativity of the poor King, and being unable to utter His name for the tenderness of His love, Fracis called Him "the Babe of Bethlehem". (St. Bonaventure, Biography of St. Francis) May the Babe of Bethlehem be welcomed in our hearts and homes. Merry Christmas to one and all!
