Vocation Corner: Saint Joseph Saint Joseph is one of the key characters of the history of salvation. Although he is mention very few times in the gospel, his life and vocation are well known to all Chris- tians. The gospel according to Matthew says the he is the husband of Mary (Mt. 1:16), and a just man’ (Mt. 1:19). For somebody who likes long explanations these two char- acteristics of Joseph may seem nothing, but reflecting on them we find a man of integrity, and humility. We don’t need a long explanation to know that he was always work- ing to be the person he ought to be. He also was a man of action, few verses latter the same gospel tells us that Joseph “did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him’ (Mt. 1:24). He was always ready to act according to God’s plan. He is a good example of somebody answering a vocation. He reflected, then presented his plan before God, then lis- tened to God, and finally acted. Joseph teaches us how our will and our intentions are purified and magnified when we listen God’s voice and act according to it. If you are discerning a vocation, considers Joseph’s exam- ple of integrity, present your plan to the Lord, listen to his voice, then act according to it. 3 .

On Holy Saturday we received a call at 8 am from Holly, side- walk counselor outside Planned Parenthood in Aurora. She said she was sending a couple over in a white van. When they arrived at Waterleaf, one of our patient advocates met with the couple. The father said they had scheduled a 7:15 am appointment at PP and they intended to abort. When they arrived for their appoint- ment, he stated it appeared PP was "closed." He thought it was a sign and they couldn't do "this", especially on "this day." He said the sidewalk counselors outside PP directed them to Waterleaf. Our medical team performed a pregnancy test and an ultrasound, confirming they were indeed pregnant. After further conversation with our team, they stated they intend to parent. Miracle happen at Waterleaf everyday through the intercession of the Holy Spirit and the support of parishioners like you. Your prayers and support of Waterleaf are greatly appreciated. 4 . 5 . .

Santa Claus (also known as Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Santy or simply Santa) is a folklore figure in various cultures who distributes gifts to children, normally on Christmas Eve . Each name is a variation of Saint Nicholas , but refers to Santa Claus. In today's North American, European and worldwide celebration of Christmas, people young and old simply refer to the hero of the season as Santa , or Santa Claus. (Wikipedia) Conventionally, Santa Claus is portrayed as a kindly, round-bellied, merry, bespectacled white man in a red coat trimmed with white fur, with a long white beard . On Christmas Eve, he rides in his sleigh pulled by flying reindeer from house to house to give presents to children. To enter the house, Santa Claus comes down the chimney and exits through the fireplace . During the rest of the year he lives together with his wife Mrs. Claus and his elves manufacturing toys . Some modern depictions of Santa (often in advertising and popular entertainment) will show the elves and Santa's workshop as more of a processing and distribution facility, ordering and receiving the toys from various toy manufacturers from across the world.

  • SAINT NICHOLAS and the BIRTH of CHRIST (A Christmas Sunday Sermon)
    SAINT NICHOLAS AND THE BIRTH OF CHRIST (A Christmas Sunday sermon) John 1:1-18 Jolly old St. Nicholas Lean your ear this way Don't you tell a single soul What I'm going to say Christmas Eve is coming soon Now, you dear old man Whisper what you'll bring to me Tell me if you can… Such are the opening lines to that well-known song that originated as a civil war era poem written by Emily Huntington Miller. Interestingly the music to which the poem is connected was composed by John Pierson McCaskey, the former mayor of Lancaster after whom the J.P. McCaskey High School is named! Around the same time that Emily wrote her poem, Benjamin Hanby (in 1864) wrote "Up on the House Top" with its graphic words, Up on the housetop, reindeer pause, Out jumps good old Santa Claus. Down through the chimney with lots of toys All for the little ones, Christmas joys… But at this time of celebration of the birth of Jesus, how did we ever end up with this red- caped, white bearded, overweight man named St. Nicholas or Santa Claus who rides around in a sleigh driven by 8 – make that 9 if the visibility is bad – reindeer? The answer goes back a long, long, long ways. Hollywood recently came out with the quite good film about 19th century Charles Dickens and his writing of The Christmas Carol (the film quite badly entitled "The Man Who Invented Christmas"), but the traditions associated with "jolly old Saint Nicholas" go back much further than the 19th century.

  • Saint Nicholas
    Bishops in Action FACT file Saint Nicholas Background information for teachers (KS1 and 2 versions on CD) The true story of Santa Claus begins with Nicholas, who was born about 271 AD in an area that is now on the southern coast of Turkey. His wealthy parents, who raised him to be a devout Christian, died in an epidemic while Nicholas was young. Nicholas used his whole inheritance to assist the needy, the sick, and the suffering. He dedicated his life to serving God and was made Bishop of Myra while still a young man. Bishop Nicholas became known throughout the land for his generosity to those in need, his love for children, and his concern for sailors and ships. Under the Roman Emperor Diocletian, who persecuted Christians, Bishop Nicholas suffered for his faith, was exiled and imprisoned. He died on December 6th AD 343 in Myra and was buried in his cathedral church. His bones were later stolen by Italian merchants and taken to Italy. The anniversary of his death became a day of celebration, St Nicholas Day. Through the centuries many stories and legends have been told of St. Nicholas' life and work. They were first told while he was living, as sailors were already claiming him as their patron saint. As the stories were told and retold and carried by sailors from port to port, imaginative and sometimes miraculous details were added. The details can vary, but they do reveal St Nicholas' character. He was man who loved God and cared for people. He was ready to help in any way he could; he truly loved his neighbour as himself.

  • The Life and Deeds of Saint Nicholas
    The Life and Deeds of Saint Nicholas Follower of Christ, Giver, Wonderworker Most of what we know about Saint Nicholas is based on legends that have been passed down for hundreds of years. These are some of the main facts and his most notable deeds and attributed miracles. Nicholas was born in around AD 280 to Johanna and Epiphanes in Patara, Lucia, what is now the country of Turkey, off of the Mediterranean Sea. Nicholas’ mother and father were older and his mother had been praying to God for a child for a long time. When Nicholas was a young boy, he lost both of his parents to a plague that swept through Patara Because Nicholas’ parents were devout Christians and had raised him to always rely on God, he decided he wanted to do God’s work with the inheritance (a large sum of money or goods) that had been left to him by his parents. Nicholas began training for priesthood alongside his uncle, who was a priest. He also followed his uncle’s example and traveled to the Holy Land around AD 300. Nicholas finished his training and became a priest. When he began his priesthood he worked tirelessly for the good of others and the furthering of God’s kingdom. Nicholas was made a bishop in Myra, about 50 miles east of Patara on the coast. The Great Persecution began in AD 303 and Nicholas was imprisoned, much like the Apostle Paul, and suffered for many years before his release. In AD 313 the new Emperor Constantine issues the Edict of Milan, which granted freedom of worship to all religions and allowed Christianity to become a popular faith .

I especially loved that Nicholas was devout in his worship and love for the Lord Jesus! It wasn't until the late 19th century, he added, that the image of Santa became standardized as a full-size adult, dressed in red with white fur trim, venturing out from the North Pole in a reindeer-driven sleigh and keeping an eye on children's behavior. The story touches on the ministry of Nicholas and his generous gift of a dowry to three young girls as a response to God's love in Jesus. Within a century of his death he was celebrated as a saint. The poor maiden who has been given a golden ball from young Nicholas for her dowry, wakes her sleeping father. Can You Find Saints? Caroline Wilkinson, a facial anthropologist at the University of Manchester England , used these data and modern software simulations to create a modern reconstruction of the long-dead man.
