TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITIONDid St. Francis of Assisi invent the Christmas crib? Not ex-actly, but his devotion to the Incarnation and his love for the poverty of the Christ Child certainly popularized this be-loved custom. Long before Francis, it was a custom at the Basilica of St. Mary Major in Rome to enshrine a rich image of Mary, gilded and bejewelled, embracing the child Jesus. This church was founded as a kind of home for the feast of Christmas in the fourth century. In 1223, Francis was ready to celebrate this feast in a new way. In the tiny city of Grec-cio, he asked friends to prepare a place where they could experience the poverty and suffering embraced by Christ in his birth. It was a living scene: an ox from the barn, an ass from the stable, and peasants standing in for shepherds and kings. The night of the celebration was beautiful, the weather was warm, and people came in crowds, bearing candles and singing hymns that echoed through the forest. Francis himself chanted the Gospel and preached. The cus-tom spread quickly, and by the sixteenth century cribs were seasonal features not only in church, but in the home.On December 17, the liturgy begins to unfold the Lord’s birth before us, and it’s the right time to follow this beautiful tradition. In Germany, each night throughout Advent chil-dren prepare a bedding for the manger. At bedtime prayer, a child places a single straw in the manger for each act of devotion or virtue performed during the day. If the children are good, then the Christ child will have plenty of soft bed-ding when he is placed in the manger on Christmas.--Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

Second Sunday of AdventDon’t we all, when asked what we want for Christmas, at some time or another answer, “World peace?” As we look at our world, we still see the ongoing refugee crisis and the problem of desperate people immigrating to our country illegally. We see the ongoing war and the horror of bombing and starvation in the Middle East, and the attacks of terrorists in formerly “safe” Western countries, including our own. Don’t we wish it would all stop?We can take some comfort in today’s readings, for in them is the promise of God’s justice and care for the poor and the downtrodden. There is the promise of justice meted out to those who do evil, and the future vision of the Peaceable Kingdom, where all are safe and cared for.WITH ONE ACCORDWe are confronted today by the problem of division: our divided world, our divided country, our divided Church. Anger and hostility pit brothers and sis-ters against one another, each sure that their ideas are right and the others are doomed to hell. Not since the Civil War have we seen our country so divided, nor since World War II have we seen such problems and strife over refugees in Europe and in our own country. Christians are divided and view each other with suspicion and hostility. Yet this is not the way of God.John the Baptist is quite hard on the Pharisees and Sadducees who showed up at his baptism. “Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? . . . Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire” (Matthew 3:7, 10). He announces the coming of Christ, that “He will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire” (Matthew 3:12). This is quite an explicit warning.WITH A LITTLE CHILD TO GUIDE THEMThe words of peace and salvation are here in this time of Advent. Jews and Gen-tiles alike will glorify God for the mercy that God has shown. Those who are op-pressed shall find hope and love. “For [God] shall rescue the poor when he cries out, / and the afflicted when he has no one to help . . . / [God] shall have pity for the lowly and the poor; / the lives of the poor [God] shall save” (Psalm 72:12-13).The poor have hope in God, while the wicked who oppress them should fear God’s judgment. “[God] shall strike the ruthless with the rod of his mouth, / and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked.” And, “[God] shall judge the poor with justice, / and decide aright for the land’s afflicted” (Isaiah 11:4).Yes, this Advent season we await the coming of a little child who will be the savior of the world. “May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to think in harmony with one another. . .that with one accord you may with one voice glo-rify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 15:5-6).

DID YOU KNOW?Pokémon Go stops could lead kids to dangerous placesWith the popular game Pokémon Go, kids can inter-act with virtual game components in real-life loca-tions. Some features of the game can present serious dangers for children using the app and interacting with other gamers. “PokéStops” – locations in which players can collect Pokémon – can be anywhere, and recently, one was reported to be at the entrance of a rehabilitation center that housed sex offenders. Parents should be aware of the game’s features and monitor children’s use to ensure that any Pokémon collecting is done safely. For a copy of the VIRTUS® article “Pokémon Go and Social Networking,” email:[email protected] or call 213-637-7227.
Winter Shelter Ministry Volunteers NeededOur overnight shelter program begins Decem-ber 3rd and goes until the end of March. We are expecting as many as 35 men, women and children to sleep over each Saturday night. The overnight portion of our ministry comes with a number of housekeeping chores. For example, every week we need to launder all the bedding that was used. This can mean as many as 15 loads of wash each week. We urgently need more help. If you can spare a few hours on a Saturday evening, Sunday morning, or during the week (to do laundry), please let us know. Contact Monica at [email protected]. God Bless!
