THE NATIVITY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST (Mt. 2, 1-12)
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.” When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Christ was to be born. “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written: “But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel.” Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshippedd him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to
their country by another route.

May the guiding light of the Bethlehem Star lead us to The Way of
Christ - the path to salvation. Therefore,
let us all sing the Christmas carol, Boh
Predvichny - God Eternal. On this joyous Feast of the Nativity of
Our Lord God and Savior, Jesus Christ , God Eternal is born
today He came down from above To save us with His love Christ,
the Son of God.
Christ is Born! Glorify Him!
Request from our Catechism Coordinator Martin Pasieczka
Wanted 2016 year end calendars (picture only) in good shape for our catechism program, “Triptych Project”. Please drop off your old calendar in the box provide in the narthex.
Christmas prayer and blessing Loving Father, help us remember the birth of Jesus that we may share in the song of the
angels, the gladness of the shepherds, and the worship of the magi. Close the door of hate
and open the door of love all over the world. Let kindness come with every gift and good
desires with every greeting. Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings, and
teach us to be merry with clear hearts. May the Christmas morning make us happy to be
thy children, and the Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts,
forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus’ sake. Amen!
I hope and pray you have a joyous Christmas as we bask in the glow of God’s awesome love. May the peace of the Christ child fill your hearts and
the grace of God overwhelm you with joy. May your travels be safe and your homecomings be happy. Merry Christmas to all parishioners of Holy
Family Parish.
~Fr. John Mostivsky
Christmas Day-Feast of the Nativity of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ
The message of Christ’s Nativity is as simple and as new today as it was more than 2,000 years ago: God is with us. In today’s torn world, these are words of consolation and
courage. Christ’s birth marked the beginning of “The Way” on which He Himself embarked as a man: grounded in
humility, stepeed in the Scriptures, centred on concern for others. Early Christians referred to their faith as “The
Way”. Our journey is the same as theirs. It’s a sojourn on earth that culminates in our arrival at the blessed dwelling
awaiting us in what Pope Saint John Paul II called “our Father’s house”. As He did with the two men walking to
Emmaus, Jesus joins us along The Way, revealing His teachings and revealing Himself in “the breaking of the
bread”. As we contemplate the infant in the crèche in the naive of our church today, we recognize the baby Jesus as the image of the invisible God
who loves us (Col 1:15) Our prayer today: Jesus, even as an infant You showed us The Way to our Father’s house. Guide us on our journey.
ATTENTION BROTHER KNIGHTS!
