Manchell Church of the Divine Child, Dearborn, Michigan Page 3 Things Above from Fr. Bilot As we embark on these final days of preparation for Christmas, I would like us to reflect if there is a gift we hope to receive from the Lord as we celebrate his birthday. To help us to understand why the Lord desires to bless us with a gift, I need to take us back to the Book of Genesis and the story of Adam and Eve. Why? Well, the Church Fathers -- Clement of Rome, Ignatius, Justin, Cyprian, Augustine, Pope Leo the Great and others -- lived prior to the seventh century. These wise men made a connection between Eve (who we believe was the mother of all the living) and our Blessed Mother, Mary, who became the “new Eve,” and who undid the damage done by Eve and Original Sin. Bishop Robert Barron puts my thoughts into perfect context. He wrote, “Our first parents, Genesis tells us, were given a garden in which to flourish. They were given free rein, permission to enjoy and eat of any tree in the Garden, save one – the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Why the prohibition? Because the very best things are not taken; they are received as gifts. God did not block their access to the tree because he wanted to prevent them from having what he had; he blocked access because he wanted to give them gifts!” It seems that in today's society, though we receive gifts from others, but it seems as if they are owed to us, we are entitled to them, they are “taken.” Take a moment to reflect on this: how often do we expect a gift from someone because it is the norm, the expectation, at this time of year? I believe this way of thinking is the mentality of “taking” instead of “receiving.” How can we receive a gift from the Lord if we are thinking it is owed to us or we are taking what isn’t rightfully ours to ask for? This Friday, we will celebrate the best gift ever given, the gift of God becoming man: Jesus Christ. God asked Mary to be the bearer of the Christ Child. She said YES and she received the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and bore a son. God asks us this Christmas, in a particular way, to be a disciple of his Son, his beloved. If we say yes, we will receive the wonderful gift of his Son, the Christ Child. Now that will be quite the gift! In pondering and opening our hearts to God, we will receive the Divine Child in a most beautiful way. How that unfolds...is the gift! In glorious expectation, Fr. Jim Bilot Christmas Eve Masses Thursday, December 24 4:00 PM, 9:30 PM and Midnight Mass Christmas carols begin at 11:30 PM Christmas Day Masses Friday, December 25 9:00 AM and 12:00 Noon Advent Night Prayer - 8:00 PM Sunday: December 20 Private Confessions Schedule Saturday: December 19 & 26 3:00 - 4:00 PM and 5:30 PM until all are heard Daily Mass Schedule 8:30 AM only (No 6:30 AM Mass) December 24 & 26 December 28, 29, 30 & 31 HOLY TIME OF CHRISTMAS RECTORY OFFICE HOURS December 21 - 23 9AM - 5PM December 24 & 25 CLOSED December 28, 29 & 30 9AM - 1PM December 31 & January 1 CLOSED Page 4 Church of the Divine Child, Dearborn, Michigan Fr. John Kopson’s Commentary Prepare For Christmas...With A Nativity Scene! Over the years, Christmas decorations (those both inside and outside the home) have really evolved. Decorations are bigger, brighter, and louder than ever before. With this said, no decoration leaves a bigger impact on a person than a nativity/manger scene. Even the most elaborately decorated homes leaves something to be desired if they are missing a nativity scene. While fancy decorated homes might catch one's attention momentarily, a simple nativity scene actually speaks to a person and it leaves a lasting impression. Even if the nativity scene was standing next to Clark W. Griswold's house, the nativity would still leave a deeper impact on the onlooker (if you didn't get this movie reference, I apologize). Needless to say, everyone needs a nativity in their home! Below is a blessing you can use this year for your nativity scene: (The blessing of the Christmas manger or nativity scene may take place on the Vigil of Christmas or at another suitable time.) When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.” -Lk 1:41-42 (When the manger is set up in the home, it is appropriate that it be blessed by a parent or another family member.) All make the sign of the cross as the leader says: Our help is in the name of the Lord. Everyone replies: Who made heaven and earth. One of those present or the leader reads a text of sacred Scripture, for example, Luke 2:1 (lines 1-8) or Isaiah 7:10 (lines 10-15, the birth of Emmanuel). Reader: The Gospel of the Lord. Everyone replies: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. The leader prays with hands joined: God of every nation and people, from the very beginning of creation you have made manifest your love: when our need for a Savior was great you sent your Son to be born of the Virgin Mary. To our lives he brings joy and peace, justice, mercy, and love. Lord, bless all who look upon this manger; may it remind us of the humble birth of Jesus, and raise our thoughts to him, who is God-with-us and Savior of all, and who lives and reigns forever and ever. Everyone replies: Amen. (From usccb.org; "Catholic Household Blessings & Prayers") God Bless You, Fr. John Annual Sunday School Christmas Pageant TODAY!

Seeing the great need for mercy and healing in the world, Pope Francis called for the Year of Mercy—a special period, also known as a Holy Year or Jubilee Year, for the Catholic Church. It is a time for the Church across the world to take approximately a year to focus on forgiveness and healing in a special way. Pope Francis has asked us as individuals and as a Church “to be a witness of mercy” by reflecting on and practicing the spiritual and corporal works of mercy (Pope Francis’ Announcement of the Year of Mercy). Beginning December 8, 2015, the Holy Year of Mercy will focus on studying and reflecting on mercy, receiving mercy, and being merciful towards others. To read more, visit the Vatican’s official website for the Year of Mercy. http://www.iubilaeummisericordiae.va/ content/gdm/en.html What is a Jubilee Year? A Jubilee Year is when the Catholic Church across the world takes approximately a year to focus on forgiveness and healing in a special way. Catholics are encouraged to join together in prayer, go to confession, and share the genius of Catholicism with others. The purpose of a Jubilee Year is to help people grow spiritually, strengthen their faith, and encourage works of service, and to promote unity within the Catholic Church and society in general. The last Jubilee Year was in 2000, called for by Pope Saint John Paul II. The Advent season allows us to prayerfully prepare for the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are grateful for this greatest gift from God the Father and the enduring presence of Christ in our holy Catholic Church. As parishioners of the Church of the Divine Child we are entrusted with the responsibility of bringing people to the Lord and answering the call to holiness. We must strive to keep the Church of the Divine Child a strong and vibrant part of our community. One way we can all participate in strengthening Divine Child is by attending to the needs associated with keeping our parish financially strong. Throughout the year, seven percent of funds donated to the Church of the Divine Child are shared with the Archdiocese of Detroit to assist with day to day needs, with one exception. All of the funds donated during Christmas remain with the Church of the Divine Child. We refer to this as the annual Christmas Fund. The Christmas Fund plays a key role in our financial stability. Please consider donating a little extra to this year’s Christmas Fund by using the special Christmas Fund envelope you received earlier in the year. If you participate in Faith Direct, or would like to make an additional donation, please label any envelope as Christmas Fund and drop in the collection basket or deliver to the parish office. Thank you and God bless you for your generosity! Christmas Blessings, Fr. Jim Bilot Pastor John Micallef Finance Council What is the Indulgence for the Year of Mercy? Like any Jubilee Year, a person can receive a plenary indulgence for the Year of Mercy. A plenary indulgence removes all of what is called “temporal punishment” due to sins that have already been forgiven. Sin and evil are real. Every sin, large or small, is in some way a rejection of the-best-version-ofourselves and a rejection of God. “Temporal punishment” is the natural consequence of that sin, the necessary purification following forgiveness of sin. (See Catechism of the Catholic Church on Indulgences and Sin and Mercy) http://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/ archive/catechism/p2s2c2a4.htm#1471 © www.dynamiccatholic.com Christmas Dinner Prayer Loving God and Father of us all, we joyfully celebrate the birth of your Son, the eternal Word who came to dwell with us and is born this day of the Virgin Mary. May the meal we share on this great feast satisfy us not only with the good food you give us, but also grace us with the fullness of your love, which you bestowed on our human nature when your Son took on our very flesh. May we come to share completely in your divine life through the coming of your Son among us. May his self-giving love be made manifest in our hearts so that the joy of our Christmas feast may extend beyond our family and home to touch the lives of others with the love that makes this day holy and makes us all children of one family in you. Amen. Church of the Divine Child, Dearborn, Michigan Page 9 25th Annual Gala and Auction March 12, 2016 Auction Volunteer Get-Together Wednesday, January 6, 2016 at 7 p.m. in the DCHS Bernardine Franciscan Learning Center This year, we celebrate 25 years of the Divine Child Gala and Auction!

So no matter where we come from or how we identify, regardless of our rituals and traditions, irrespective of our politics and ideologies, treating one another as if we remembered that we are inextricably connected is most important work.

Photos courtesy of Kathy Wisniewski Page 12 Church of the Divine Child, Dearborn, Michigan Good Last Minute Advent Suggestions: 1. During the next week, spend an hour in prayer for those who are the victims of abuse or neglect. 2. Read Matthew 25: 31-46, or another passage of the Bible. 3. As a family, prepare a basket of food and give it to a family in need. 4. Skip a meal at your favorite restaurant. Use the money to purchase a Christmas gift for a person served by a parish organization or local charity. 5. Pray for someone you may have offended or been uncharitable towards, and send a Christmas card with a note of kindness. 6. Work at a soup kitchen or food pantry during Advent for a couple of hours. 7. Reflect on the Beatitudes…find someone who meets one of those needs, such as one who mourns, and send them a note or visit them during Advent. 8. Speak a word of affirmation to each member of your household this week. Make an effort to “help carry someone’s burden” among your friends or family members. 9. Offer to share something you have – or something you are doing – with someone who would appreciate it. 10. Take a “prayer time” of ten minutes or so… and ask God if there is something he would like to say to you…and LISTEN. 11. Call or write a note to someone who may be lonely or in need of “comfort and joy.” 12. Gather your family members for a reading of the “Christmas Story” from the Gospel of Matthew or Luke. Discuss what it means to them and to you. 13. Include a weekday Mass in your plans during Advent. 14. Every morning until Christmas, say a Hail Mary for peace.

Indeed, Christmas is a season when the spirit of generosity is most evident. But Christian stewards are called to share their gifts year-round, not just during a single season. The Catholic Services Appeal gives us the opportunity to do this, both through our pledges and through the valuable ministries, programs, and services the CSA funds each day. The archdiocesan departments of Parish Life and Services; Communications; Evangelization, Catechesis, and Schools; and Development and Stewardship all receive support from gifts to the CSA, as do the Office of Priestly Vocations and Sacred Heart Major Seminary. In planning your year-end donations, giving to the CSA is an excellent way to benefit your parish. CSA collections over the parish target are refunded without archdiocesan assessment to be used in parish programs and projects. More than $20.1 million has already been pledged to the 2015 Catholic Services Appeal. If you make a gift to the Catholic Services Appeal, or for more information about CSAfunded ministries, programs, and services, please go to www.AOD.org.
