GOD’S PROMISE
The lengthy passage from Samuel is a wonderful exposition of God’s promise to the house of David: that his throne would forever be gloriously occupied by his descendants. Hidden in the mystery of the prophecy is the promise of the Savior, the Messiah, Son of God and Son of David. The prophet Nathan, speaking in God’s name, poetically turns around David’s plan to build a house for God, and announces God’s plan to build a “house,” that is, a dynasty for David. From this house of David will come the Messiah, the Christ, not in kingly splendor as David ruled, but as a humble man, destined to rule forever and over all. When God gives a gift, it’s amazing what we are given—so different from what we ever could have imagined.

St. Benedict News……
Saint Benedict Catholic School ended the year and the semester on December 20th. The last few weeks were filled with the Christmas program, Jingle Bell Beach, a Band concert at St. Michael’s for SBCS band students, collections of gifts for Mary’s Shelter and Catholic Charities, lots of academics, Middle School finals, and classroom parties. As we watch the children grow and gain skills in so many areas, we take pride in their accomplishments. We know we are blessed by their presence and feel that each one is a child of God. We are committed to instilling the love of God and Others and Academic Excellence. “Ora et Labora”. Pray and work: to love God and others through academic excellence. Thank you for being a part of our school’s supporting community! Happy New Year!
