I want to thank the members of the eighth grade class from our parish school, East Boston Central Catholic, for presenting us with the live nativity

this weekend. I am always so very proud of our stu-dents and ask you to pray for them and the entire staff at E.B.C.C.S. As Christmas approaches, I also want to take the op-portunity to thank each of you for the blessing you have been to me over the past twelve years. I thank God each and every day that I have been your pas-tor. My Christmas wish is that God will continue to bless me with many more years here at Sacred Heart. We have done so much together and now together we will await the coming of the greatest gift, Jesus Christ. I encourage each of you to take a few mo-ments and tell those around you how much you ap-preciate them and love them. That is the best gift that you could give them this year. May God con-tinue to show His love and mercy upon us all in these days leading up to the birth of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Sacraments

Baptism:Baptism:Baptism:Baptism: The sacrament is celebrated each Saturday. The following documents are required at the time of registering for a child’s baptism. • Original Birth Certificate • If the family lives outside of the parish, a Letter

of Permission from the pastor of their parish. • Confirmation Certificates for the Godparents. Marriage:Marriage:Marriage:Marriage: The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life, is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring; this covenant between bap-tized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament. Arrangements for the sacrament should be made at least six months in advance. The following documents are required: • Baptismal and Confirmation certificates for both. • A Marriage Preparation Certificate. • A Marriage License to be handed in at the time

of the Wedding Rehearsal.

Worth repeating Worth repeating Worth repeating Worth repeating We are coming to “crunch time” before Christmas. Rushing to get last minute gifts and preparing over indulgent menus. Last year, I printed in this col-umn, the refrain from a Christmas song written by the brother of an inmate at Old Colony, Charles “Chickie” Noble Harris:

“Ding, dong hear the bells ring, Because of Mother Mary we have a new King. Ding, dong hear the bells chime, Because of Baby Jesus we have Christmas time.”

Dal libro del profeta Michea Così dice il Signore: «E tu, Betlemme di Èfrata, così piccola per essere fra i villaggi di Giuda, da te uscirà per me colui che deve essere il dominatore in Israele; le sue origini sono dall'antichità, dai giorni più remoti. Perciò Dio li metterà in potere altrui, fino a quando partorirà colei che deve partorire; e il resto dei tuoi fratelli ritornerà ai figli d'Israele. Egli si leverà e pascerà con la forza del Signore, con la maestà del nome del Signore, suo Dio. Abiteranno sicuri, perché egli allora sarà grande fino agli estremi confini della terra. Egli stesso sarà la pace!». Verbum Domini Verbum Domini Verbum Domini Verbum Domini Deo GratiasDeo GratiasDeo GratiasDeo Gratias

GESÙ FIGLIO DI MARIA

Il figlio dell’Altissimo nel diventare il «figlio di Ma-ria», ama farsi precedere e annunciare dai poveri e dagli umili: vuole circondarsi di semplicità e verità. Betlemme è la più piccola fra le città di Giuda; avrà l’onore di dare i natali al Messia promesso dai profe-ti, a colui che estenderà il suo regno di pace fino «agli estremi confini della terra» (prima lettura). Umili e pastorali sono pure le origini di Davide. Il futuro Messia è presentato più come il discendente del Davide, pastore di Betlemme, che non del Davi-de glorioso della città regale. Umili e poveri sono i primi portatori della speranza e della salvezza. Così è Maria nei riguardi di Elisabetta. Per la stessa umiltà e povertà Elisabetta, illuminata dallo Spirito Santo, ri-conosce in Maria la madre del Salvatore, e proclama il mistero che si è compiuto in Lei.

SSSSECONDAECONDAECONDAECONDA LLLLETTURAETTURAETTURAETTURA Dalla lettera agli Ebrei Fratelli, entrando nel mondo, Cristo dice: «Tu non hai voluto né sacrificio né offerta, un corpo invece mi hai preparato. Non hai gradito né olocausti né sacrifici per il peccato. Allora ho detto: "Ecco, io vengo - poiché di me sta scritto nel rotolo del libro - per fare, o Dio, la tua volontà"». Dopo aver detto: «Tu non hai voluto e non hai gra-dito né sacrifici né offerte, né olocausti né sacrifici per il peccato», cose che vengono offerte secondo la Legge, soggiunge: «Ecco, io vengo per fare la tua volontà». Così egli abolisce il primo sacrificio per costituire quello nuovo. Mediante quella volontà siamo stati santificati per mezzo dell'offerta del cor-po di Gesù Cristo, una volta per sempre.

Entrata nella casa di Zaccaria, salutò Elisabetta. Ap-pena Elisabetta ebbe udito il saluto di Maria, il bam-bino sussultò nel suo grembo. Elisabetta fu colmata di Spirito Santo ed esclamò a gran voce: «Benedetta tu fra le donne e benedetto il frutto del tuo grembo! A che cosa devo che la madre del mio Signore venga da me? Ecco, appena il tuo saluto è giunto ai miei orecchi, il bambino ha sussultato di gioia nel mio grembo. E beata colei che ha creduto nell'adempimento di ciò che il Signore le ha detto».

Meet Fr. Vin −The Gift of Family

As the pastor of three parishes in Dorchester and Mattapan, Fr. Vin’s responsibilities are extraordinary. While his daily work is a source of great joy, it’s the love and devotion of a special sister named Connie that restores his spirit.

When Fr. Vin’s parents passed away, he and his sister Eileen became the sole guardians of their disabled sister. For Fr. Vin, being a brother and a priest for Connie is an immense blessing. The unconditional love that he receives from Connie—especially at the end of a busy day— continues to fill his heart with gratitude.

Fr. Vin selflessly dedicates his life in service to others. This Christmas, show your gratitude with a gift that cares for Fr. Vin and the health and well-being of all the priests who faithfully serve our Archdiocese of Boston.

Text the word PRIEST to 56512 or make a gift through your parish collection at Christmas Mass.

Thank you for your generous support of the Clergy Health and Retirement Trust.

“A priest, whoever he may be, is always another Christ.”

-Saint Josemaría Escrivá

To submit your special intentions to be remembered by our senior priests during the celebration of Holy Mass at Regina Cleri each week, please visit clergyfunds.org/intentions.
