Christmas and the Solemnity of Mary, The Mother of God

“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light”.  Christmas is light and joy proclaimed to a world suffering from hardship & violence.  For all peoples Christmas is “good news of great joy” because God has decided to dwell among us, to become one of us and  share our joys and sorrows.  With our Mother Mary, let us pray on Christmas and on her special feast day, Jan. 1st for peace and new hope to all peoples throughout the world.

VOCATION VIEW
Christmas comes but once a year.
But you can be Christ to others the remaining 364 days.
In fact, He is counting on you.

Prayer for Vocations

O God. who has chosen the Apostles to propagate the faith & to establish Your Holy Church throughout the world, we earnestly beseech You to choose from amongst  our people many priests, deacons, religious brothers & sisters and lay persons who will gladly devote their entire lives in making YOU known & loved by all. Through the intercession of our Blessed Lady, we ask this through Christ our Lord.   Amen

Joke

       Small town became infested with mice - they were everywhere - even in the churches, but not in the Catholic Church.  It seems that the parish priest baptized them and they only showed up on Christmas & Easter.
