AUDACITY There is a spirit of audacity in our readings today. During a time of injustice and threat of invasion, the prophet Micah boldly announces that the God of insignificant Israel will raise up a leader from backwater Bethlehem, and this leader will bring justice and peace to the whole world. In the Gospel, Elizabeth and Mary, marginalized women, brazenly celebrate that their sons will be world-changing instruments of God. We further learn that this audacity is rooted in trust in God. The author of Hebrews describes the faithful obedience of Jesus. Mary is shown as the exemplar of faithful trust in God. This is the way God often seems to work, in the ordinary and marginalized in our world. Those who seem weak have learned to trust in God’s strength. These have the audacity to become instruments of God’s peace and justice. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — From Bethlehem-Ephrathah shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel (Micah 5:1-4a). Psalm — Lord, make us turn to you; let us see your face and we shall be saved (Psalm 80). Second Reading — We have been consecrated through the offering of the body of Christ once for all (Hebrews 10:5-10). Gospel — Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken by the Lord would be fulfilled (Luke 1:39-45).

Prayer against Coronavirus

Lord Jesus Christ, our Divine Physician, we ask you to guard and protect us from coronavirus, COVID-19, and all serious illness. For all who have died from it, have mercy; for those who are ill now, bring healing. For those searching for a remedy, enlighten them; for medical caregivers helping the sick, strengthen and shield them. For those working to contain the spread, grant them success: for those afraid, grant peace. May your precious blood be our defense and salvation. By your grace, may you turn the evil of disease into moments of consolation and hope. May we always fear the contagion of sin more than illness. We abandon ourselves to your infinite mercy. Amen. Pedro de la Cruz

Reflection question: How can I make known to others the Incarnation of Christ?

O come, desire of nations.

COMFORT AND SALVATION All of today’s scriptures seem to declare Christmas’ “comfort and joy.” Micah declares that, as small as Bethlehem is, the child born there will bring peace that “shall reach to the ends of the earth.” Hebrews proclaims that, despite pain and suffering, the “offering of the body of Jesus Christ” saves us all. In today’s Gospel, bearing the Christ Child within her, Mary, barely more than a child herself, immediately, unselfishly sets aside her own preoccupations—and as a betrothed but as yet unmarried mother-to-be, how many they must have been—to travel in haste, over dangerous terrain, a four-day journey (the scholars say) from Nazareth to Ain-Karem, to the home of Elizabeth and Zechariah.

The Nativity of the Lord God has spoken to us through his son, the Word made flesh. Thus salvation has been revealed

to all nations.

We pray for those who have given so generously to the Annual Catholic Appeal, that the Lord will bless them abundantly for their generosity and supply all their needs and the needs of their loved ones.

We are the Church Together!

Without our faithful parishioners, we could not fulfill the mission of

our diocese.

STORY OF CREATION TO THE

CHRISTMAS STORY

Throughout the four weeks we celebrate Advent, we are reminded of God’s faithfulness to His promises. It is a time of expectant waiting and spiritual preparation for both the celebration of the Nativity of Christ at Christmas and the return of Christ at the second coming. The whole history of God’s infinite love, from creation to salvation, presents us with stories of God’s mysterious ways and how unbelievable situations came to be overturned, experienced and recorded for future generations. The ways of God, mysterious as they are, demonstrate that all good things come to those who wait. To wait in trusting assurance is to stand with our ancestors in faith. The Advent wreath and the Jesse tree are visual reminders of God’s love and Jesus’ ancestry. Why not start a family tradition? - Light a candle and read one of the bible stories below, daily. - Hang a symbol of the story on the Jesse/Christmas tree.
