THE NATIVITY OF THE LORD DECEMBER 25, 2016

THE NATIVITY OF THE LORD (Christmas)

First Reading: Isaiah 52:7-10 Isaiah rejoices that God is bringing his exiled people home to Jerusalem. He calls out to the people to be glad because God will restore Jerusalem.

Second Reading: Hebrews 1:1-6 Paul explains to the Hebrews that although God had spoken through the prophets, people could not always completely understand the message. Now God has spoken to us by sending Jesus, the son, a reflection of God’s glory and forgiver of our sins.

Gospel: John 1:1-18 John describes how the Word came into the world in the form of Jesus. All those who accept Jesus become children of God by sharing in Jesus’ love. No one has seen God, but through Jesus, God was revealed to us.

WHO WANTS ICE CREAM????

Don't forget that you will get on the ice cream sundae line at the Square Dance in the order that

you purchase your ticket. Don't y'all delay!

Excerpt from The Seven Spiritual Virtues, St. Catherine of Bologna Instead of proceeding with honor and loftiness he came to bear contempt and baseness, instead of with abundance and riches he came with poverty and need, instead of with pleasure and delight he came with pain and disgrace, and instead of with lordliness and freedom, with obedience and punishment, instead of with power and health, with weakness and infirmity, and instead of with lofty nobility with the ox and the ass as company, instead of with papal dignity like a great priest he had Joseph as a companion and instead of with regal servants the poor fishermen, instead of coming with heavenly food he wanted to go begging, and instead of his divinity he took

on our mortality, and instead of the imperial heights, the thieves in their business.
