Buon Natale!
Women’s Advent Dinner 2022
was a warm and festive gathering in faith and friendship. ❤️ Many thanks to all for making this such a full-hearted evening.
Here’s the concluding prayer from Dotti’s reflection as requested.

My Jesus,
As I prepare to celebrate Your ‘Good Birth’,
I praise your Holy Name, Emmanuel;
the Word become flesh,
God-with-us.
Enlighten the eyes of my heart,
That I may know you ever more deeply
Help me, like Mary, to say yes,
in the middle of the mysteries in my life,
to trust your love.
Let my life be a holy yes to those
in need of hope and grace
of comfort and joy,
of bread and friendship.
Help me to find you in all things,
to welcome you in all circumstances,
and to rejoice in the truth
that you are with me always.
Lastly, let me seek you out
so that I may receive your love
ever more deeply,
and stand firm in the hope
that belongs to all who follow you.
Come Lord Jesus,
come and be born
into the poor stable of my heart. ... See MoreSee Less

On this feast day of Mary…
“Here am I, let it be with me according to your word.”
Luke 1: 26-38

As we listen to the story of the Annunciation, we once again celebrate Mary’s generous and courageous “Yes” to this startling and disruptive call from God. She chooses openness to God’s invitation, no matter the consequences for her life.

What does it look like for each of us to show the same radical openness of heart as Mary? This question is perhaps answered in Fratelli Tutti, Pope Francis’ encyclical on social friendship and dialogue, in which he urges us to have a “heart open to the whole world.”

Pope Francis writes that “the guarantee of an authentic openness to God… is a way of practicing the faith that helps open our hearts to our brothers and sisters.” (74)

On this Feast of the Immaculate Conception, we can ask Mary to inspire us to say “yes” to God and have hearts open to our global neighbors, so that we may love without distinction.

Prayer

Loving God, open our hearts to encounter.
Inspire us, through the example of Mary,
to have the courage to say “yes” to your call,
trusting that nothing is impossible to you. Amen.

Personal Challenge

Take some time to find out more about the inspiring and powerful message of Fratelli Tutti and reflect on what Pope Francis is inviting us to do, so that we may open our hearts to one another.

Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you;
blessed are you among women.
See Luke 1:28
📸Today, on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, the Gospel is the Annunciation to Mary by the Angel Gabriel. It concludes with Mary’s Yes, “and with that, the angel left her”. The very next line says “Mary set out in haste to the Hill Country of Judah” to her cousin Elizabeth. This mosaic is above the doors to the Church of the Visitation, built at the top of the Hill where Elizabeth and Mary greet, portrays that journey.

MEMORIAL OF AMBROSE, BISHOP, DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH Wednesday, Dec 07, 2022
Firm stance, gentle hand

Saint Ambrose of Milan, the esteemed early church theologian and pastor, was consecrated bishop of Milan on this day in 374, during a trip to the city to quell a succession crisis for the contentious church post. Known for his conciliatory demeanor, Ambrose was a staunch defender of orthodox beliefs about the divinity of Jesus, but he was also respected by those who believed Jesus not to be God, because of his willingness to listen to them. Among his countless contributions to the church, he converted Saint Augustine of Hippo with his preaching and baptized the wayward son before his own journey to theological greatness. In this season of charity, may we all emulate Ambrose’s devotion to peace and unity on his holy feast.

TODAY'S READINGS: Isaiah 40:25-31; Matthew 11:28-30. “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves.”

Happy St. Nicholas Day!
Remember this sing along from our Women’s Advent Dinner on St. Nicholas a few years past? It makes a good prayer for his Feast day. Looking forward to this Wednesday and celebrating with you all again! We have a full house!
🎄🎶
Jolly old St. Nicholas, Lean your ear this way!
Don't you tell a single soul, what I'm going to say;
Christmas Eve is coming soon, Now, you dear old man,
Listen very carefully, help me if you can.

Mary had a baby boy born on Christmas day
in a manger she gave birth and laid him in the hay
Thus the son of God came down, this I know is true
Bringing love to everyone, yes, to me and you

That he grew in holiness, and was a godly man
who suffered died and rose for us, this I understand
He taught us all the way of peace, and mercy from above
but I am learning slowly still just what it means to love

We celebrate his birth each year glad to do our part
but Jesus asks for life anew in each and every heart
Help me see the Christ in need in my neighbor too
Help me welcome Gods own joy each day the whole year through

I will be compassionate and lend a helping hand
I’m grateful for the life I have and help where e’r I can
Let me speak words kind and true, when they’re needed most
Fill me with the light of Christ, a glad and welcome host

Let my joy in giving be, childlike and true
Help me trust when times are hard, or I don’t know what to do
and slow me down to see the grace and savor goodness too
Keeping Christmas in my heart all the new year through

Thank you good St Nicholas, for your faith was true
May I cultivate your gifts in what I say and do
And kneel before the prince of peace on this Christmas morn
and celebrate the feast of feasts, Christ the Lord is born!

Our common Story The Gospel tells us the genealogy

Our common Story
The Gospel tells us the genealogy of Jesus, not only for a theological reason, but also to remind each one of us that our lives are made up of bonds that precede and accompany us. The Son of God chose to come into the world by way of such bonds, the way of history: he did not come down into the world by magic, no. He took the historic route we all take.
-Pope Francis
