From the Diocese
God came in human flesh. Mass today tells the story: no one is too small, too insignificant to bear the presence of God. The pre-born John [the one to be the Baptist] acts first in the story of visitation by jumping for joy in the womb. At what? The assurance that God comes and will be God-with-us.
How will I let God come to me today? At what can I jump for joy? How will I enjoy the freedom of God’s good grace by doing this mercy work: __________?
CHRISTMAS DAY
Feedbox and Tent. Sixteen Bible passages are given to us at Christmas. A lot of words. Let us focus on two this day. Feedbox (see Luke 2:12): Although we most often hear and sing “manger”, “feedbox” is clearer and truer – because now, Christ is food for us in Eucharist. Tent (see John 1:14): John’s gospel usually reads, “he made his dwelling among us.” But literally, “he pitched his tent.” Christ lives with us, is in our midst. He is that close.
Because I am fed, who can I feed? Because I am housed, who can I house?

IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY DAD
Bill Frank
GONE BUT FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS
Marcia & Mike Walter
A father is a gift from God,
Just like you were too.
He is always behind you, No matter what you do.
He is always sensitive to your needs,
He just has that special touch. It’s no wonder then dad,
Why you are loved so much!
