A CHRISTMAS PRAYER

O sweet Child of Bethlehem, grant that we may

share with all our hearts in this profound mystery

of Christmas. Put into the hearts of men and

women this peace for which they sometimes seek

so desperately and which you alone can give to

them. Help them to know one another better, and

to live as brothers and sisters, children of the same

Father. Reveal to them also your beauty, holiness

and purity. Awaken in their hearts love and grati-

tude for your infinite goodness. Join them all to-

gether in your love. And give us your heavenly

Sacred Heart Church has invited you to join the

Meal Train for Laterese Restad.

What is a meal train?

There are times in our lives when friends and fam-

ily ask, "What can I do to help out?" The answer is

usually to help them with a meal. When many

friends give a meal, this is a Meal Train.

mealtrain.com is a free meal calendar tool that

makes planning meals among a wide group easy

and less stressful.

Please share this with others.

You can view the Meal Train by following this

Readings & Reflections- Every Sun. 9:15a SHC

Next Sunday, Dec. 30th Holy Family It’s tempting to think that the Blessed Virgin was

somehow different from the rest of us—that she

knew exactly what would happen in her life and

never had to work through difficult periods. Yet, she

did. And in her, we see how certain trials in our lives

fit perfectly within the bigger picture of God’s work

Upcoming Events:

Church Christmas Party– Jan. 6th following Mass

Enjoy a few games of bingo

SPOTLIGHT To access visit,

The story of the birth of Jesus is

often misunderstood. But this

fast-paced, thought-provoking

look at the true story of the Na-

tivity clears away widespread

misunderstandings of Jesus’

origin. Join top scholars, inspi-

rational speakers, and popular

authors as they explain the story

behind the story of the birth of

Jesus. The Story of the Na-

tivity also includes stunning

works of art depicting the biblical story, from Fra Angelico

to Rembrandt, and footage from the Holy Land showing the

places where the Christmas story actually took place. Ex-

plore the true story of Mary and Joseph, Jesus’s miraculous

conception, the birth of John the Baptist, the journey of

Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem, the Star of Bethlehem, and

the birth of Jesus. This is an invaluable tool for believer and

unbeliever alike to learn more about Jesus of Nazareth and

about the truth of Christmas. Run Time: 59 mins.

Based on an ancient legend, Kristoph and the First

Christmas Tree is a video production drawn from the

family-friendly story written by children’s author Claudia

Cangilla McAdam and illustrated by Dave Hill. It’s Christ-

mas Eve in the year 722, and the young orphan Kristoph is

accompanying the missionary priest Boniface through the

German countryside on their way to the first Christmas the

boy will celebrate outside the orphanage. They are hurrying

to reach the next village by nightfall when they come upon

a group of men worshiping a sacred oak tree and preparing

to sacrifice the son of the village chieftain.

plan for you, as Mary did? What can help you at such

times?

teacher? What can help you obey with more trust? ________________________________________________________
