FIRST FRIDAY ADORATION ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT Every First Friday of the Month Eucharistic Adoration: 8:30 AM to 6:15 PM Evening Mass: 6:30 PM Would you like to enrich your heart and soul with an hour devoted to our Blessed Lord in Eucharistic Adoration?

We invite everyone to spend some time before the Blessed Sacrament and pray for an increase in vocations and your own personal intentions. ====================================== DEVOTION TO ST. PEREGRINE PATRON SAINT OF CANCER PATIENTS Beginning January 2020, we will start a new prayer list of names to be prayed over during the St. Peregrine novena. The current names have been placed at the Shrine of St. Peregrine located in Mission San Juan Capistrano. If you would like to have your family member or friend remain on the list for next year or if you would like to add a new name for us to pray for during the St. Peregrine Devotion, please feel free to call the Parish Office at (562) 424-8595 with Names (*last name is optional). Saint Peregrine is the patron saint of Cancer patients and we will be praying through the intercession of St. Peregrine for those who have Cancer and those who are Cancer survivors. All are welcome to join us. The novena is every First Friday of the month at 4:15 PM, during Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament here at St. Barnabas Church.

KNIGHTS KORNER St. Barnabas parishioners, you are invited to two life changing events on the same day near to one another.

OneLife L.A. is a pro-life march through downtown Los Angeles from Olvera Street to Los Angeles Historical Park. Join Archbishop Gomez and thousands of others in this exhilarating experience to celebrate the beauty and dignity of every human life. The March begins near noon. At the park will be music, speakers and vendors.

At 5pm, Archbishop Gomez will preside over a Requiem Mass for the Unborn at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, 555 W. Temple Street, Los Angeles.

Eight men from St. Barnabas Knights of Columbus will be designated as March Marshals (part of 300 Knights) and will lend assistance to the participants. Parishioners are encouraged to car-pool, share a ride with a private taxi company or ride the Metro Rail from Wardlow Station on the “A” train to the Los Angeles Civic Center then the Purple Line to Union Station. Olvera Street/La Placita is across the street from Union Station. Olivera St/La Placita is across from Union Station “and the Cathedral is a short walk from Olvera Street”. For more information go to OneLifeLA.org and register as a parade participant under “St. Barnabas, Long Beach” or contact Bob Kalowes at [email protected] or (562) 225- 1946.

My Dear Sisters and Brothers, Christmas is very dear to us. We celebrate God coming to us, the mystery of the Incarna on of the Son of God. In his Apostolic le er about the na vity scene, our holy father Pope Francis has wri en that as we contemplate the Christmas story, “we are invited to set out on a spiritual journey, drawn by the humility of the God who became man in order to encourage every man and women.” He further reflected that in Christmas “we come to realize that so great is his love for us that he became one of us, so that we in turn might become one with him.” This is the essence of Christmas: our God reaching out to us in love, and our ini a ve to respond to him. May I invite all of us to reflect on how faithful we are in our response to heavenly Father’s ini a ve to love us by sending his beloved Son to be born among us in u er poverty and humility. Those of you who are dedicated and ac ve Catholics, you are a powerful witness and an encouragement to our faith life. We salute you! Those of you who are challenged to keep up with your faith life, we encourage you to make every effort to rekindle your love for God. And, those brothers and sisters who le our Catholic family, the door is always open for you to return home. It is not too late. Like the father in the parable of the prodigal son who waits for his son’s return, so our heavenly Father is wai ng for you. Our Catholic family is wai ng for you. Our prayer is that you will make your journey back home soon. Welcome home! Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year to all of you! With Christmas Blessings, Fr. Antony and Fr. Bernard

SAINT THOMAS BECKET (1118-1170) To anyone who imagines conflict between religion and politics to be a modern phenomenon, history witnesses otherwise. Martyred under Henry VIII in 1535, Thomas More declared, “I die the king’s good servant, but God’s first!” Thomas Becket could have said the same four centuries earlier. As Henry II’s closest friend and trusted chancellor, Becket, the king presumed, could be counted on, if made archbishop, to deliver the church to royal control. But Becket experienced a profound conversion, confirmed by the ordination liturgy’s rich symbolism of the bishop as Good Shepherd and the church as Bride of Christ. Renouncing secular responsibilities, distributing his wealth to the poor, Thomas became the church’s uncompromising champion. Faced with this “new” Becket, the king’s previous friendship turned into a ferocious, almost irrational hatred. As eight centuries later, Archbishop Romero would be martyred at the altar of Christ’s sacrifice, Becket was slain before the altar of Canterbury Cathedral by royal agents, neither the first nor last good shepherd to lay down his life

as the price of freedom for Christ’s church and justice for Christ’s sheep. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
