Proper Church Attire: Out of respect for Our Lord and for the edification of our neigh-bor, we beg all to appear in Church modestly dressed. For men and boys, shorts and T-shirts do not meet the norms of modesty. For women and girls, they are not met by slacks, shorts, sleeveless and low-cut dresses. According to apostolic custom and Church law, women and girls are further requested to cover their heads in Church. However, no one has the right to question dress, especially that of visitors. It belongs to the Pastor alone to in-struct others when their dress is below expectations.

Cell Phones & Pagers are Not Permitted in the Church. They are unsuitable for the Holy Place.

Blessing of Religious Articles . Please bring your objects to be blessed to the communion rail at the end of Mass. The date for the blessing will be announced each month in the Bulletin.

Tuesday Evenings - Men of the Parish gather at the Priory from 7 p.m. discuss current issues and enjoy brotherly charity. The meeting will resume on January 13 2015.

The Mystery of the Incarnation God is Love; everything He does, both in Himself and outside of himself, is a work of love. Being the infinite good, He cannot love anything outside of Him-self from the desire of increasing His happiness, as is the case with us; in Himself He possesses all. Therefore, in God, to love, and hence to will creatures, is simp-ly to extend, outside of Himself, His infinite good, His perfections, and to com-municate to others His own Being and felicity. Bonum diffusivum sui – the Good diffuses itself, St. Thomas says. Thus God loved man with an eternal love and, loving him, called him into existence, giving him both natural and supernat-ural life. Through love, God not only brought man out of nothing, but chose him and elevated him to the state of divine sonship, destining him to participate in His own intimate life, in His eternal beatitude. This was the first plan of the immense charity of God with regard to man. But when men fell into sin, God, who had created him by an act of love, willed to redeem him by an even greater act of love. See then, how the mystery of the Incarnation presents itself to us as the supreme manifestation of God’s exceeding charity towards man. “By this hath the charity of God appeared towards us, because God hath sent His only-begotten Son into the world, that we may live by Him. In this is charity… He hath first loved us, and sent His Son to be a propitiation for our sins.” (John 4:9-10) After having given man natural life, after having destined him for the super-natural life, what more could He give him than to give Himself, His Word made flesh, for his salvation? God is Love. It is not surprising, therefore, that the story of His benevolent ac-tion on behalf of man is all a poem of love, and of merciful love. The first stanza of this poem was our eternal predestination to the vision and to the fruition of the intimate life of God. The second stanza relates, in an even more touching way, the sublimity of His mercy: the mystery of the Incarnation. The sin of our first parents had destroyed God’s original plan for our elevation to a supernatural state; we had forfeited our claim, and we could never atone for the sin. God could have pardoned all, but it was becoming to His holiness and infi-nite justice to exact and adequate satisfaction; man was absolutely incapable of providing this. Then the most sublime work of God’s mercy was accomplished: one Person of the Blessed Trinity, the second, came to do for us what we could not do for ourselves. Behold the Word, God’s only-begotten Son, “who for us men and for our salvation, descended from heaven and became incar-nate” (Credo). The merciful love of God thus attains its highest manifestation: if there is no ingratitude and misery greater than sin, there can be no love greater than that of Him who inclines over so much ingratitude and abjection to restore it to its primal splendor. God did this, not by the intervention of a prophet or the most sublime of angles; but He did it personally: all three Persons of the Blessed Trinity acted in the Incarnation, the end of which was to unite a human nature with the Person of the Word. In this mystery, the immensity of the love and mercy of God for man appears and shines forth. Taken from Divine Intimacy, by Fr. Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, OCD.
