HOLY SPIRIT-PHILIP-E-CHRISTMAS-76654 Holy Spirit and St. Philip Church From Pastor’s Desk… The Gospel for the Nativity of the Lord tells us The Holy Family of something that we have heard all too often, and we Jesus, Mary and Joseph seem to have lost the significance of what is actually being said. This Gospel gives clear insight as to how December 27, 2015 God works in our world. Important, good news is normally given to Saturday, December 26 The Vigil of The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph important people, or to people who know what 4:00 p.m. Mass at St. Philip – Jack Brandel to do with it. In this Gospel, angels appear in the (Karen and Doug Brandel) darkness of the night to shepherds. Shepherds were 5:30 p.m. Mass at Holy Spirit – For the People of Holy Spirit and St. Philip Parishes uneducated, usually unskilled, very unreliable Sunday, December 27 people – at least, that was their reputation. When The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph the angels appeared to them, they were struck with Readings: 17: Sir 3:2-6, 12-14/Ps 128:1-5/Col 3:12-21/ great fear and apprehension. The angels say to the Lk 2:41-52 9:00 a.m. Mass at St. Philip – Elk/Wiler Family shepherds “Do not be afraid!” To them is announced (Martha Wiler) the birth of Jesus Christ. 11:00 a.m. Mass at Holy Spirit – The Deceased Members of the Sergio Family (Family) This Gospel helps us to understand how Monday, December 28 – The Holy Innocents, Martyrs God works. Divine power works in very humble, Readings: 698: 1 Jn 1:5–2:2/ Ps 124:2-5, 7c-8/Mt 2:13-18 unassuming ways – contrary to what many 9:00 a.m. Mass at St. Philip – Alberta McBee Christians expect. The news of the presence of God (Parish Gift Mass) among His people is given first to the poor and Tuesday, December 29 – Fifth Day Within The Octave Of The Nativity Of The Lord unimportant. That’s not how we believe things Readings: 202: 1 Jn 2:3-11/Ps 96:1-3, 5b-6/Lk 2:22-35 normally should work. Urgent, important news is 8:15 a.m. Mass at Holy Spirit – Marco Tata usually reserved for important people. (Tata Family) But in the darkness of night and in their Wednesday, December 30 – Sixth Day Within The Octave Of The Nativity Of The Lord confusion, the shepherds are told, “Do not be afraid.” Readings: 203: 1 Jn 2:12-17/Ps 96:7-10/Lk 2:36-40 On this Christmas 2015, that is also good news for 8:30 a.m. Mass at Holy Spirit – Elizabeth C. Zag us. There is a great deal in life and in our world to be (Joe Zag) fearful of. But, the knowledge that God’s presence in Thursday, December 31 Vigil of the Solemnity of Mary, The Holy Mother of God our world confers freedom from fear should give us 4:00 p.m. Mass at St. Philip – Dick Todd pause for thought. We should never act or react out of (Marti Todd) 5:30 p.m. Mass at Holy Spirit – Jennifer Henne fear. God is present among His people. (Parish Gift Mass) Have a very Merry Christmas! Friday, January 1 Fr. Bill Arnold The Solemnity of Mary, The Holy Mother of God Readings: 18: Nm 6:22-27/Ps 67:2-3, 5-6, 8/Gal 4:4-7/ January 1, 2016 – Feast of Mary, the Mother of Lk 2:16-21 God: New Year’s Day, January 1, is a celebration 9:00 a.m. Mass at St. Philip – Dan and William English of the Motherhood of Mary.
