Christmas 2017
Church of Saint Edward the Confessor785 Newark Road • Granville, Ohio 43023
This night is the long night, It will snow and it will drift, White snow there will be till day,White moon there will be till morn, This night is the eve of the Great Nativity,
This night is born Mary Virgin’s Son, This night is born Jesus, Son of the King of glory,This night is born to us the root of our joy, This night gleamed the sun of the mountains high,This night gleamed sea and shore together, This night was born Christ the King of greatness,
Ere it was heard that the Glory was come, Heard was the wave upon the strand,Ere’twas heard that His foot had reached the earth, Heard was the song of the angels glorious,
This night is the long night, Glowed to Him wood and tree, Glowed to Him mount and sea,Glowed to Him land and plain, When that His foot was come to earth.

FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT DECEMBER 24, 2017
A WORD FROM YOUR PASTOR
This came my way and makes a great refl ection in this busy time of Christmas:
A Gentle Reminder From Pope Francis:
This life will go by fast.Don’t fi ght with people, don’t criticize your body so much, don’t complain so much. Don’t lose sleep over your bills. Look for the person who makes you happy. If you make a mistake, let it go and keep seeking your happiness.
Never stop being a good parent. Don’t worry so much about buying luxuries and comforts for your home, and don’t kill yourself trying to leave an inheritance for your family. Those benefi ts should be earned by each person, so don’t dedicate yourself to accumulating money.
Enjoy, travel, enjoy your journeys, see new places, give yourself the pleasures you deserve. Allow dogs to get closer. Don’t put away the fi ne glassware. Utilize the new dinnerware; don’t save your favorite perfume, use it to go out with yourself; wear out your favorite sport shoes; repeat your favorite clothes.
So what? That’s not bad. Why not now? Why not pray now instead of waiting until before you sleep? Why not call now? Why not forgive now? We wait so long for Christmas; for Friday; for Reunions; for another year; for when I have money; for love to come; when everything is perfect...look...
Everything perfect doesn’t exist. Human beings can’t accomplish this because it simply was not intended to be completed here. Here is an opportunity to learn.
So take this challenge that is life and do it now...love more, forgive more, embrace more, love more intensely and leave the rest in God’s hands. Amen
May the “gentle reminder” be for you and yours, an expression of my and yours, an expression of my and our parish’s wish for all of you on Christmas Day and throughout the New Year ahead.

THINKING ABOUT GODPARENTS FOR YOUR BABY?If you’re expecting a baby, you may already be thinking about baptism and who your child’s godparents will be. Godparents are models of faith for their godchildren, so they must be Catholics who are at least sixteen years old, who have received Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist, and who are actively living a life of faith. Children may have one male godparent, one female godparent, or one of each. A baptized person who is not Catholic may serve as a “Christian witness” at a baptism, but that person is not formally recognized as a godparent by the Church. For more information about godparents and baptismal preparation, contact Cheryl Boggess in the Parish Office 740-587-3254.
FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT
Today’s Readings: 2 Samuel 7:1–5, 8b–12, 14a, 16; Psalm 89:2–3, 4–5, 27, 29; Romans 16:25–27; Luke 1:26–38. The readings proclaimed at the liturgy today invite us to ponder the mystery revealed in the birth of Christ. David wishes to build a proper house for the ark of God. The prophet Nathan reveals that God has a much bigger plan: to establish a house for him. God will build up the nation to prosper until the end of time. Because of the Incarnation, we are heirs to this promise and are members of God’s household. As the psalm states, God has made a covenant with his people and we continue the song of praise and thanksgiving.
This promise cannot be fulfilled without Mary’s yes. Since the time of the fall, all creation has waited for Mary. God chose her to bear his Son, the Messiah who establishes
the Reign of God. Have you ever been in a situation where you had to give up everything (die to self) for another, espe-cially for God’s will? Here is a young woman whose whole life changes when she humbly says, “Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.”
Tomorrow, the Christian world celebrates the birth of Jesus. The season of Christmas, challenges us to grow deeper in faith. Jesus reveals the Father’s love and mercy. At every liturgy, the Church celebrates this mystery and receives the presence of God’s own Son. We are to become what we receive — the Body of Christ. Take time today to reflect on your yes and see in what ways God has revealed himself to you.
Find Us ReadyGood and gracious God,who sent the angel Gabriel to announce the
gift of your Son,your love for us has no limits and
endures forever.As we prepare for the coming of Christ,eliminate within us all sin and fear,giving us pure hearts to receive him.May the Holy Spirit fill us with your grace,
just as Mary was so filled,and find us ready to stand in your presence
to serve you.Keep us faithful to the covenant you made
with our ancestors.May your joy saturate our beings as we go
forth proclaiming your salvation,so that, on that final day, we will forever sing
your goodness.Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

This Week at HomeMonday, December 25Solemnity of the Nativity of the LordToday’s psalm captures the importance of this solemnity in the life of the world. The psalmist sings a song of praise for the mighty deeds God has done. As Christians, we celebrate God’s gift of the Incarnation, which has made salvation known; all creation blesses God’s holy name. During dinner tonight, read and reflect on the story of Christ’s birth. Today’s Readings: Isaiah 52:7–10; Psalm 98:1, 2–3, 3–4, 5–6; Hebrews 1:1–6; John 1:1–18.
Tuesday, December 26Feast of St. StephenHave you ever thought about what it would be like to be a martyr? In his martyrdom, Stephen teaches us to remain fervent and faithful in our commitment to Christ. Although it is not always easy to keep our baptismal promises, we must trust, as Jesus says, that the Spirit will speak through us. Practicing a regular prayer life will help us remain faithful. Take time today to pray for those who continue to be persecuted for their faith; research one modern martyr. Today’s Readings: Acts of the Apostles 6:8–10; 7:54–59; Psalm 31:3cd–4, 6 and 8ab, 16bc and 17; Matthew 10:17–22.
Wednesday, December 27St. JohnThe word witness is a good summary for the readings today. Because of the encounter that the disciples and Mary Magdalene had with Christ, they were compelled to share the Word of life. John is willing to give his life for Christ. In Baptism, each of us is intimately woven into the life of God and therefore, we, like the early disciples, must witness to our encounter with the Risen Christ. Everything we are and do must proclaim Christ, who is life. Like John, take time today to write your “gospel,” the story of your encounter with Christ. Today’s Readings: 1 John 1:1–4; Psalm 97:1–2, 5–6, 11–12; John 20:1a and 2–8.
Thursday, December 28Feast of the Holy InnocentsToday the Church commemorates the life of those children who were executed by Herod. During this short Christmas cycle, martyrdom is highlighted, as the feasts of Sts. Stephen and John are also celebrated. In the Middle Ages, these early martyrs were known as companions of Christ. Their stories invite us to reflect on the effect of the Incarnation. Christ is the one who frees us from all bondage and saves us from death. Martyrdom is a profession of deep faith in Christ. Let your prayer today be for all who have been executed for the sake of Christ. Today’s Readings: 1 John 1:5 — 2:2; Psalm 124:2–3, 4–5, 7cd and 8; Matthew 2:13–18.
Friday, December 29LightThe birth of Christ revealed God’s greatest gift to the uni-verse. He truly is the Light of the World, the one who brings us out of darkness. John tells us that those who love and remain in love will have the light. Simeon, in the Gospel, tells us that Jesus is the light that will reveal God’s love and mercy to the world. At Baptism, each of us received a lighted candle to remind us that Christ’s light is in us, and that we are called to share that light in acts of love. Light your baptis-mal candle today. Today’s Readings: 1 John 2:3–11; Psalm 96: 1–2a, 2b–3, 5b–6; Luke 2:22–35.
Saturday, December 30God’s Will“Do not love the world or the things in the world” is a key message in today’s First Reading. John reminds us that we know God and God is within us. Yet we are often enticed by the ideals of this world, and we can easily be misdirected. We must listen to the voice of love within us. God calls us to share the Good News and live according to his will. Listening in prayer helps us remain confident in our vocation. Make a list of those times you have ignored God and then offer them in prayer. Today’s Readings: 1 John 2:12–17; Psalm 96:7–8a, 8b–9, 10; Luke 2:36–40.
THE NATIVITY OF THE LORD
Today’s Readings: Isaiah 52:7–10; Psalm 98:1, 2–3, 3–4, 5–6; Hebrews 1:1–6; John 1:1–18. On this day, all creation sings out in joy, for the Lord God has revealed to us his mighty deeds. During Advent and Christmas, it is easy to be caught up in the hype of secular society. As Christians, how-ever, we need to reflect upon the “saving power of God” (Psalm 98). What does the Incarnation mean in your life and in the life of the Christian? Praying with Psalm 98, it becomes clear how profound God’s love is for his Chosen People, and this is what we celebrate in unison with every corner of creation.
John’s Gospel recounts the story of the Incarnation in an extended poetic form. Jesus, the Word become flesh, shines in the darkness and is the One who gives life. Every Sunday when we hear the Scriptures proclaimed, the Word is alive and trying to find a home in our hearts. Listen to the Word; hear the Word; allow the Word to rouse your heart to action and transform it so your life becomes a proclamation of the Good News, the Word made flesh.
Awaken Your LoveLoving God,you sent your Word to dwell among usand reveal to us your glory.By sending us the Light, your only Son,you have blessed your people who once lived
in darkness.On this great feast of the Incarnation,we lift our voices and give you praise for your
awesome deeds.Like your servant John the Baptist,
grant us confidence to testify to the gift of your Son, who is our salvation.
Send us forth proclaiming the gifts of your mercy and love,
which you revealed in your Incarnate Word,so that, all who hear the Good News may
come to know Christ.May we, who received the Light at Baptism,persevere in faith, hope, and loveas we forever sing of your saving power.Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

This Week at HomeLas PosadasLas Posadas is a nine-day Advent celebration that begins on December 16 and ends on Christmas Eve. Today, it is cele-brated in many Latin American countries and has become common across the United Stated. Augustinian Spanish fri-ars, who were evangelizing the New World, first brought Las Posadas to Mexico during the sixteenth century. In 1586, Pope Sixtus V issued a Papal Bull that granted permission for Christmas Masses to be celebrated the nine days preced-ing the solemnity of Christ’s birth. Las Posadas is intended to help participants prepare for the celebration of the birth of Christ. The novena-like cele-bration is a communal event that reenacts Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem. The nine days also symbolize the nine months of Mary’s pregnancy. The Lucan Gospel account tells us that Mary and Joseph searched for a place to stay, but the inn (posada) was full. They find shelter, but not in an inn, which is how Jesus is born in the manger. For this celebration, the community gathers during the evening with lighted candles. With two individuals portray-ing Mary and Joseph (and sometimes with a donkey), the group sings carols and makes their way to the first stop. The pilgrims or peregrinos go from place to place seeking shelter but are rejected at first by the “innkeepers.” Eventually, the group arrives at the final house and is welcomed into the home, singing “Enter, Enter, Holy Pilgrims.” Once the group arrives at the final house, traditional songs, such as “Canción para pedir posada,” are sung and then followed by Scripture readings and prayers. The evening concludes with a festive meal and activities for children. This tradition, steeped in God’s hospitality, reminds the participants that Christians must show hospitality to the poor and marginalized. Las Posadas can help parish communities deepen their devotion to the Holy Family. This is a festive and prayerful way to celebrate Advent and meditate on the Holy Family’s journey to Bethlehem.
Simbang GabiSimbang Gabi is a nine-day Advent devotion that has been celebrated in the Philippines since the sixteenth century. Like Las Posadas, these “Dawn Masses,” begin on December 16 and end on December 24 with the Misa de Gallo (Rooster’s Mass). The Filipino celebration has roots in Mexico, when in 1587 the pope allowed outdoor Masses for Christmas since the celebration was too large to hold indoors. Liturgically, these nine Masses are intended to help the community prepare their hearts and minds to receive the Christ Child at Christmas. They are also celebrated as a nine-day novena to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Tradition says that these nine days corresponded to the nine-day harvest festivals once held by the Filipino community. During the nine days, Mass is traditionally celebrated out-side in the early morning before sunrise, hence the name Rooster’s Mass. This practice was intended to accommodate the farmers who could attend Mass early and then get into the fields for harvest. When the first sounds of dawn rang out, the family made their way to the church for the festivities. In the United States today, some parishes celebrate these Masses ear-lier in the evening to accommodate modern work schedules. The making of decorations called parol is a Filipino tra-dition that continues today. The parol is a paper lantern that commemorates the Star of Bethlehem. Since these Masses were celebrated before dawn, the lanterns helped guide farm-ers and their families to Mass. You might consider asking the art and environment team at your parish if you and others could make parols and decorate the space for these liturgies. Even though it is Advent, at these Masses, because of special permissions, the priest wears white vestments and the assem-bly sings the “Glory to God.” Other traditional songs include, “Pasko na Naman” (It’s Christmas Again), and “Himig Pasko.” Once the liturgy is concluded, the community con-tinues the celebration with food and conversation. Traditional treats include puto, kutsinta, and bibingka. If you missed this celebration this year, mark your calendars for the coming year and take part in the festivities.
“What page, what passage of the inspired books of the Old and New Testaments is not the truest of guides for human life?” ~Saint Benedict, from the Rule of Saint Benedict (73:3)
“Kiss the feet of the baby Jesus, who lies in the manger, and pray that the Holy Virgin will allow you to hold Him. Take Him between your arms, hold Him and see His lovable
face, kiss it with reverence and rejoice with Him. You can do this because He has come to bring salvation to sinners and He has humbly conversed with them, finally giving Himself as food.” ~SAINT BONAVENTURE
Monday, December 25 ~ Solemnity of Christmas
The Birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Son of God
Holy Gospel: Luke 2:1-14 In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world
should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment, when Quirinius was governor of Syria. So all went to be
enrolled, each to his own town. And Joseph too went up from Galilee from the town of Nazareth to Judea,
to the city of David that is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of
David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. While they were there,
the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to her firstborn son. She
wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for
them in the inn. Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping
the night watch over their flock. The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of
the Lord shone around them, and they were struck with great fear. The angel said to them,
“Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all
the people. For to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.”
And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying: “Glory
to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
Meditation: Following is an excerpt of a sermon from Pope St. Leo the Great: “Dearly beloved, today our
Savior is born; let us rejoice. Sadness should have no place on the birthday of life. The fear of death has
been swallowed up; life brings us joy with the promise of eternal happiness. No one is shut out from this
joy; all share the same reason for rejoicing. Our Lord, victor over sin and death, finding no man free from
sin, came to free us all. Let the saint rejoice as he sees the palm of victory at hand. Let the sinner be glad
as he receives the offer of forgiveness. Let the pagan take courage as he is summoned to life. In the
fullness of time, chosen in the unfathomable depths of God’s wisdom, the Son of God took for himself our
common humanity in order to reconcile it with its creator. He came to overthrow the devil, the origin of
death, in that very nature by which he had overthrown mankind. And so at the birth of our Lord the
angels sing in joy: Glory to God in the highest, and they proclaim peace to men of good will as they see
the heavenly Jerusalem being built from all the nations of the world. When the angels on high are so
exultant at this marvelous work of God’s goodness, what joy should it not bring to the lowly hearts of
men? Beloved, let us give thanks to God the Father, through his Son, in the Holy Spirit, because in his
great love for us he took pity on us, and when we were dead in our sins he brought us to life with Christ,
so that in him we might be a new creation. Let us throw off our old nature and all its ways and, as we
have come to birth in Christ, let us renounce the works of the flesh. Christian, remember your dignity, and
now that you share in God’s own nature, do not return by sin to your former base condition. Bear in mind
who is your head and of whose body you are a member. Do not forget that you have been rescued from
the power of darkness and brought into the light of God’s kingdom. Through the sacrament of baptism you
have become a temple of the Holy Spirit. Do not drive away so great a guest by evil conduct and become
again a slave to the devil, for your liberty was bought by the blood of Christ.”
Prayer: O God, who gladden us year by year as we wait in hope for our redemption grant that, just as we
joyfully welcome your Only Begotten Son as our Redeemer, we may also merit to face him confidently
when he comes again as our Judge. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God,
for ever and ever. Amen.
Contemplation: On Christmas Day it remains only for us to find in the Gospel, as we find in all the words
of the Holy Gospels, the answer as to what we should do in response to the gift that has been given to us,
the song that has fallen on our ears from angelic voices. And the answer is there; the birth of this mystery
- of love triumphant in the face of evil - is Christ as He came to life from the Virgin Mary in Bethlehem,
and Christ, as we come to life in Him, through the Sacrament we share. Let us pray that our Christmas
will be filled with the song of this life, and that our love will conquer all things contrary to Christ, so that
we may follow the Son sent by God to redeem us, and do so with love and fidelity to the truths of Christ.
On the Birth of Jesus, the Son of God: Today is the great solemnity that shows the world that the
Word Incarnate, the Savior of mankind, is finally born. God becoming truly man is an enormous event
[….]. Something truly happens that goes beyond any evolutionary process: the fusion of man and God,
the creature and the Creator. It is not the progression of another step in the evolutionary process, but the
eruption of a personal action, founded on love, that from this point forward reveals to men new space and
possibilities. (Joseph Ratzinger in God and the World: A Conversation with Peter Seewald, 2001, p.
197).Christmas says to us: alone we can’t profoundly change the world to remedy it. Alone, we can make
the world better or worse, but we can’t save it. Christ came therefore, because left to ourselves; we
couldn’t escape the ‘mortal disease’ that has enveloped us from the first moment of conception in our
mother’s womb. This gives us hope, true hope, and true Christian optimism: I can’t do it but He is there!
This is the mystery of grace synthesized in the human figure of God incarnate. Christmas Eve and
Christmas day are moments of contemplation. We consider, in many dimensions, the mystery of love that
was incarnated for us. First of all, we contemplate the light and joy, without forgetting Jesus and Mary’s
sorrows and sufferings, and the many difficulties that had surrounded them: the cold, the uncomfortable
place, the dangers….. It would be good to accompany these thoughts by reciting and meditating slowly on
the Holy Rosary, preferably in front of a crib. “Blessed grotto of Bethlehem that testified to the wonders!
Who, in this hour would not turn our hearts? Who would not prefer the opulent palace of the King?” (P.
Guéranger, L’Anno Liturgico, Alba 1959 [orig. franc. 1841], I, p122).
Tuesday, December 26 ~ Second Day in the Octave of Christmas
Saint Stephen, First Martyr
Holy Gospel: Matthew 10:17-22 Jesus said to his disciples: "Beware of men, for they will hand you
over to courts and scourge you in their synagogues, and you will be led before governors and kings for my
sake as a witness before them and the pagans. When they hand you over, do not worry about how you
are to speak or what you are to say. You will be given at that moment what you are to say. For it will not
be you who speak but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. Brother will hand over brother to
death, and the father his child; children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. You will
be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved."
Meditation: “You will be hated by all on account of my name,” Jesus says in today’s gospel. A strange
fate indeed for those whose lives are built on truth, love and peace. And yet it is a fate only too sadly
confirmed down these many centuries to this very day. Jesus had said that all those who wished to follow
him would have to take up their cross and go after him. The servant is no greater than his master.
“Whoever loves his own life will lose it; whoever hates his own life in this world will keep it for life eternal.
Whoever wants to serve me must follow me, so that my servant will be with me where I am” (John 12:25-
26). Stephen clearly is a perfect model of such a Christian disciple.
Prayer: Grant, Lord, we pray, that we may imitate what we worship, and so learn to love even our
enemies, for we celebrate the heavenly birthday of a man who knew how to pray even for his persecutors.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one
God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Contemplation: There are some today who say “religion divides.” When we hear this, today’s gospel
should come to mind, because so routinely turn their back on God and on his Son, Jesus Christ. By their
actions, they are the ones who actually cause division – not those who live their lives in faith of God or his
Son Jesus Christ – because by their actions and their lifestyles they freely choose to not follow the laws of
God and the teachings of Christ; in doing so they separate themselves from the way, the truth, and the
life of Christ. The beauty of this situation, though, is that God always welcomes back those who have
sinned, those who have strayed. God sent his Son into this world to teach us right from wrong, to
shepherd and guide us, and to lead us on the path to eternal life. With a contrite heart through the
Sacrament of Reconciliation, we can confess our sins, receive absolution, and get back in Christ’s fold.
What a great thing to do in the Christmas Season – and any time of the year, for that matter!
Wednesday, December 27 ~ Third Day in the Octave of Christmas
Saint John, Apostle and Evangelist
Holy Gospel: John 20:1a, 2-8 On the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene ran and went to Simon
Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them, "They have taken the Lord from the
tomb, and we do not know where they put him." So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the
tomb. They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and arrived at the tomb first; he bent
down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in. When Simon Peter arrived after him, he went into
the tomb and saw the burial cloths there, and the cloth that had covered his head, not with the burial
cloths but rolled up in a separate place. Then the other disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at
the tomb first, and he saw and believed.
Meditation: The placement of today’s Gospel seems to “rush” in the life of Jesus from his birth – which
we celebrated just two days ago – to his resurrection, describing the scene where Peter and the “beloved
disciple” rush to the tomb of Jesus after being told by Mary Magdalene that the body is no longer there.
But this gospel points to the great love that John the Apostle and Evangelist – the beloved disciple – had
for Jesus Christ as the Word Incarnate, the Messiah, the Son of God, the one whose birth we just
celebrated. Although the “beloved disciple” got there first, he deferred to Peter who went in first and saw
the burial cloths. One of them – the piece that was wrapped around the face – was rolled up in a separate
place. When the “beloved disciple” went in, “he saw and he believed” – in other words, he understood the
significance of the cloth and he knew that his Lord had risen. And the promise of salvation of all mankind
began with the birth of Jesus. I suggest that you read John 1:1-18 today as well.
Prayer: O God, who through the blessed Apostle John have unlocked for us the secrets of your Word,
grant, we pray, that we may grasp with proper understanding what he has so marvelously brought to our
ears. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Contemplation: John in his first epistle testifies: What we have seen, heard, and touched we proclaim as
the word of life which existed “from the beginning” (1 John 1:1-4). John bears witness to what has existed
from all eternity. This “word of life” is Jesus the word incarnate, whose birth we just celebrated, but also
Jesus as the word announced by the prophets and Jesus the word now preached throughout the Christian
church for all ages to come. One thing is certain, if Jesus had not risen from the dead and appeared to his
disciples, we would never have heard of him. Nothing else could have changed sad and despairing men
and women into people radiant with joy and courage. The reality of the resurrection is the central fact of
the Christian faith. Through the gift of the Holy Spirit, the Lord gives us “eyes of faith” to know him and
the power of his resurrection. The greatest joy we can have is to encounter the living Christ, sent by God
into this world to save and redeem us, to teach us how to live our lives, to shepherd and guide us on the
path that leads to eternal life. Get to know Christ personally as your Lord, Savior and Redeemer.
Thursday, December 28 ~ Fourth Day in the Octave of Christmas Feast of the Holy Innocents, Martyrs
Holy Gospel: Matthew 2:13-18 When the magi had departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared
to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I
tell you. Herod is going to search for the child to destroy him.” Joseph rose and took the child and his
mother by night and departed for Egypt. He stayed there until the death of Herod, that what the Lord had
said through the prophet might be fulfilled, Out of Egypt I called my son. When Herod realized that he had
been deceived by the magi, he became furious. He ordered the massacre of all the boys in Bethlehem and
its vicinity two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had ascertained from the magi. Then
was fulfilled what had been said through Jeremiah the prophet: “A voice was heard in Ramah, sobbing and
loud lamentation; Rachel weeping for her children, and she would not be consoled, since they were no
more.”
Meditation: During this octave of Christmas the Church celebrates the memory of the small children of
the neighborhood of Bethlehem put to death by Herod. Sacrificed by a wicked monarch, these innocent
lives bear witness to Christ who was persecuted from the time of His birth by a world which would not
receive Him. It is Christ Himself who is at stake in this mass-murder of the children; already the choice,
for or against Him, is put clearly before men. But the persecutors are powerless, for Christ came to
perform a work of salvation that nothing can prevent; when He fell into the hands of His enemies at the
time chosen by God it was to redeem the world by His own Blood. The joy of this Christmas Season is
tempered today by a feeling of sadness. But the Church looks principally to the glory of the children, of
these innocent victims, whom she shows us in heaven following the Lamb wherever He goes.
Prayer: O God, whom the Holy Innocents confessed and proclaimed on this day, not by speaking but by
dying, grant, we pray, that the faith in you which we confess with our lips may also speak through our
manner of life. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the
Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Contemplation: Many ask why God did not prevent this slaughter. Human suffering is indeed a mystery.
No explanation seems to satisfy our human craving to understand. These innocent children and their
parents suffered for Christ. Suffering, persecution, and martyrdom are the lot of all who chose to follow
Jesus Christ. There is no crown without the cross. It was through Jesus' suffering, humiliation, and death
on a cross, that our salvation was won. His death won life – eternal life for us. And his blood which was
shed for our sake obtained pardon and reconciliation with our heavenly Father.
The Holy Innocents: “Blessed are you, Bethlehem in the land of Judah! You suffered the inhumanity of
King Herod in the murder of your babes and thereby have become worthy to offer to the Lord a pure host
of infants. In full right do we celebrate the heavenly birthday of these children whom the world caused to
be born unto an eternally blessed life rather than that from their mothers' womb, for they attained the
grace of everlasting life before the enjoyment of the present. The precious death of any martyr deserves
high praise because of his heroic confession; the death of these children is precious in the sight of God
because of the beatitude they gained so quickly. For already at the beginning of their lives they pass on.
The end of the present life is for them the beginning of glory. These then, whom Herod's cruelty tore as
sucklings from their mothers' bosom, are justly hailed as ‘infant martyr flowers;’ they were the Church's
first blossoms, matured by the frost of persecution during the cold winter of unbelief.” —Saint Augustine
Friday, December 29 ~ Fifth Day in the Octave of Christmas Saint Thomas Becket, Bishop and Martyr
Holy Gospel: Matthew 16:24-27 Then Jesus told His disciples, "If any man would come after me, let
him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, and
whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and
forfeits his life? Or what shall a man give in return for his life? For the Son of man is to come with His
angels in the glory of His Father, and then He will repay every man for what he has done.
Meditation: Let’s get back to basics and ask ourselves this foundational question: What is the most
important investment any of us can make with our life? Jesus poses some probing questions to challenge
our assumptions about what is most profitable and worthwhile. In every decision of life we are making
ourselves a certain kind of person. The kind of person we are, our character, determines to a large extent
the kind of future we will face and live. It is possible that some can gain all the things they set their heart
on, only to wake up suddenly and discover that they missed the most important things of all. Of what
value are material things if they don't help you gain what truly lasts in eternity. Neither money nor
possessions can buy heaven, mend a broken heart, or cheer a lonely person.
Prayer: O God, who gave the Martyr Saint Thomas Becket the courage to give up his life for the sake of
justice, grant, through his intercession, that, renouncing our life for the sake of Christ in this world, we
may find it in heaven. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity
of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Contemplation: Jesus basically asks the question: What will a person give in exchange for his or her
life? Never forget that everything we have is an out-right gift from God. We owe him everything – our
gifts, abilities, talents – our very lives. It's possible to give God our money, but not ourselves, or to give
him lip-service, but not our hearts. A true disciple gladly gives up all that he has in exchange for an
unending life of joy and happiness with God. God gives without measure. The joy he offers no sadness or
loss can diminish. The cross of Christ leads to victory and freedom from sin and death. What is the cross
which Jesus Christ commands me to take up each day? When my will crosses with his will, then his will
must be done. Christ is forever – remember that!

Beautiful stained glass windows from Germany were installed after World War I. During the war the windows were kept in storage on a dock in Germany. Population growth brought about the first division of the parish leading to the establishment of St. Patrick Church in 1851 to serve the Irish immigrants. We will visit St. Patrick Church which still has the altar rail. The tour will end at St. Paul the Apostle founded in 1913 in Westerville. The church serves 4,100+ registered families.

2017 The Edwardians!
ST. EDWARD THE CONFESSOR CHURCH GRANVILLE, OHIO
Merry Christmas. Happy birthday Jesus! So what does our Catechism teach us about Christmas? Two paragraphs entitled “The Christmas Mystery” teach us about Christmas. 525 – Jesus was born in a humble stable into a poor family. Simple shepherds were the fi rst witnesses to this event. In this poverty heaven’s glory was made manifest. 526 – To become a child in relation to God is the condition for entering the kingdom. For this to happen we must humble ourselves and become little. To become “children of God” we must be “born from above” or “born of God.” Only when Christ is formed in us will the mystery of Christmas be fulfi lled in us. Christmas is the mystery of this “marvelous exchange.” “O marvelous exchange! Man’s Creator has become man, born of the Virgin. We have been made sharers in the divinity of Christ who humbled himself to share our humanity.”

BETHESDA HEALING MINISTRYSometimes memories can keep us from experiencing the fullness of new life, even following the reception and graced forgiveness from the Sacrament of Penance. If you have experienced abortion in your life and the memory continues to haunt you, perhaps inviting Jesus often into that memory will open your spirit to the peace only He can give. Begin by praying “Jesus, I don’t want to be chained any longer to the memories of the abortion. Please come and heal me.” To share the graces of this journey with those who have been there, contact Bethesda Healing Ministry confi dential lines at 614-309-2651 or 614-309-0157 or visit our website at bethesdahealing.org Be sure to “Like” us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/BethesdaHealing.
“Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” With those words our Blessed Mother Mary places her total trust in God. We are called to do the same, and this fi nal Sunday of Lent is the time for us to do that, if we have not previously. Mary’s response to God is the same response we need to offer the Lord. It is most appropriate that we hear this message at this time and on this day.
This took much more trust in the Lord than we might imagine. Mary agreed to receive a pregnancy that would be seen as suspect in a culture which had a potential death penalty for adultery. Spiritually speaking, there are similarities between the Lord’s work in Mary and His work in all of us. Jesus lives within each of us spiritually. He lived in Mary not only spiritually but also physically.
Jesus was made visible to the world through Mary physically, but He should be made visible to the world through us as well. Who we are and how we relate to and treat others is a sign to the world of Who Jesus is and what a Christian is and should be. Are we showing the world what it means to be His disciple? Is there a better time than this to do so?
The entertainer and comedian Bob Hope once said, “My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?” catholicsteward.com
