“When you hold a lunch or dinner, do not invite your
friends or your brothers or your relatives or your wealthy
neighbors, in case they may invite you back and you have
repayment. Rather, when you hold a banquet invite the
poor, the cripple, the lame, the blind; blessed indeed will
you be because of their inability to repay you. For you
will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
Luke 14:12-14
As many of you know, for the last thirteen years the generous
families and friends of Our Lady of the Wayside Parish have been
supporting a wonderful cause. We have been helping St. Benedict's parish in Chicago feed 350 - 400 homeless and lonely folks
on Christmas day. Again, this year your help is needed with coordinating this effort.

PARISH OFFICE HOLIDAY HOURS
The Parish Office will be open from 9:00 a.m.
2:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve and closed on Christmas
Day.
On New Year’s Eve the office will be open from 9:00
a.m. - 4:00 p.m. and closed on New Year’s Day.
Last year, the OLW community provided over two dozen freshly
cooked and carved turkeys and enough monetary donations for
us to purchase: 100 lbs. of ham and enough dinner rolls, butter,
half & half, coffee, pumpkin pie, sugar, corn, green beans, cranberries, mashed potatoes, stuffing, paper goods, soda, milk, etc. to
feed over 375 people! Our cars were loaded Christmas morning
and a group of Waysider's drove down to St. Benedict's to deliver
the food, help prepare the parish hall, visit with some very lonely
people, and help spread the joy of Christmas! We pray that you
are able to support this wonderful cause again this year!
You can help by offering to cook a nice big juicy turkey, cook a
ham or three, make mashed potatoes or stuffing for 50 (hams,
potatoes and stuffing provided) or make a monetary donation. The
turkeys can be dropped off at Pete and Jan LeTourneau's house on
Christmas Eve or between 8:00 and 8:30 Christmas morning. The
"shopping team" will use the donations to buy all of the other
items. We will go shopping Wednesday, December 23, so we
would appreciate donations be made by Tuesday, December 22.
Donations can be dropped off at the LeTourneau's house, checks
can be made payable to then OLW/St. Vincent DePaul Society
for tax purposes. Another way you can help is by providing hat,
scarf and glove sets for the homeless, you can wrap these if you
like or just drop them off. These are handed out after dinner and
often times it will be the only gift many people will receive for
the year. If you are not in a position to help this year, please remember the folks at St. Benedict in your prayers.
As mentioned earlier, there are some families who caravan down
to St. Benedict's on Christmas morning. Some folks just take the
trip to help deliver the food and head back home. Others like to
stay awhile to help prepare the hall and food or just visit with
some of the guests. The caravan leaves the LeTourneau house
between 8:00 - 8:15 a.m. Christmas Day. The guests are served
from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. They are usually looking for servers,
so if you would like to serve the meal; plan to arrive around 10:30
to receive your table assignment. In addition, they can always use
help with clean-up, this usually begins around 1:30.
Please visit SignUpGenius http://www.signupgenius.com/
go/10c0f45afa82aa7ff2-stbenedict to donate/prepare food or
help out on Christmas morning. If you would like to make a
monetary donation or provide gifts, please contact us drectly.
Christmas Blessings to all,

CHRISTMAS REFLECTION
…Father Ed Fialkowski, Pastor of Our Lady of the Wayside
Dear Parishioners of Our Lady of the Wayside:
Generally when people tell and retell their favorite stories, we often find that every time we tell them, there are a few
details that we can’t leave out of the story. My mother was one who loved details in stories. Many times when she told
a story or heard one, she would focus on the details. To her the details were more important than the point of the story.
Whether it’s the name of the hotel where you stayed on a honeymoon or the hospital where your children were born, or
what the course looked like on the day you got that hole in one. There is some detail or details about every important
story of your life that may seem insignificant, but you simply can’t leave them out. The story of the nativity, the birth
of Christ, is no different. A word of caution here is for all of us to recognize when our listening audience finishes our
stories for us or fills in the details that we have omitted. Just maybe they have heard your story before! Probably many,
many times! Be aware of this.
We know the Nativity Story: Mary, nine months pregnant with Joseph her husband, traveling to Bethlehem because of
the mandatory census. We know that when they arrived, there was no room for them in the inn. The innkeeper offers
them a manger as alternative accommodations.
This is an important story even without any of those details, because the heart of the story is: “God loved us so much
that God became one of us, so that we all might love God and one another.”
But that’s not the way the Gospel tells it. The Gospel tells us about a baby, to be born to a couple, who found themselves under extraordinary circumstances. The Gospel account tells us where the child was born. It wasn’t enough for
the Gospels to just say “he was born” or even “he was born in Bethlehem.” The detailed Gospel story tells us that “he
was born in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.”
A manger isn’t much. Some Nativity Stories tell us it was a stable or maybe for our purposes a barn where farm animals were housed and fed. The crib was not a bed. It was probably a feeding troth for the barn animals. The troth was
filled with hay as a mattress for the child. It was perhaps the most unexpected resting place for a newly born Messiah.
For God’s first night as one of us.
But as much as we remember the manger, we also remember why Jesus was born there. We remember that when Mary
and Joseph got to the inn, they were told there was no room for them.
We have to wonder why there was no room in the inn. Joseph and Mary were Jewish and they would only stay at an
establishment owned by Jewish people. The inn keeper had to know that they were travelling to fulfill the requirements
of the census of that time. Joseph and Mary were greatly inconvenienced by this journey especially with a baby due
any day. Didn’t the innkeeper, someone who was probably Jewish himself, understand their plight, their circumstances? Did you ever wonder if maybe there was room at the inn and that the innkeeper had a couple of rooms left but
he decided he didn’t want to rent them a room? Mary was obviously pregnant and he did not want to be bothered with
assisting with the birth of the baby and whatever inconveniences might follow by letting them stay at the inn. OK let’s
give the innkeeper the benefit of the doubt and say that there really weren’t any rooms left. He was being honest and
upfront with them.
Couldn't he and his wife and maybe his family find some place for a woman who was nine months pregnant and about
to give birth, some place a little more comfortable than a manger or a stable or a barn? Even something temporary?
Well we know that they could not or would not find alternative housing so Jesus wasn’t born in the inn but in a manager among farm animals and humble surroundings. We don’t know the name of the innkeeper nor the name of the inn
or better said the manger Jesus was born in. The innkeeper, the inn and the manger are not named. Did you ever wonder if the innkeeper ever realized who they turned away? He probably did not.
Now, if this was just a story about an innkeeper who missed a change to open the doors to Christ over 2,000 years ago,
(continued on page 4)
4
(Christmas Reflection - Father Ed continued)
it wouldn’t be memorable. The Nativity Story isn’t about what an unnamed innkeeper at an unnamed inn did 2,000
years ago. Its about what God did, and what God still does. And it’s about what we do next. Christ still comes into this
world. Christmas still happens. It didn’t just happen once, it happens all the time.
So often in the Gospels a person or place is left without a name. We are to provide the name. Maybe it is us! Sometimes God knocks at our doors, and we are asked if there is room in the inn. And sometimes we look out, and we don’t
really like what we see, or we don’t like what it would mean to let Christ in, and we close the door and say: “There’s
no place for you here”.
But sometimes, even when we don’t really want to, even when we’re not sure we want to open that door up, we do
anyway. And that matters. Because Christmas may be about the story that we read. It may be about Mary and Joseph
and the baby and the manger, and no room in the inn. But that story teaches us about more than just an event that happened centuries ago. It teaches us about opening ourselves up to what God is trying to accomplish in us in this world.
It’s about telling God that, even if we don’t know what it means yet, there is room for God in our lives, and we want to
be part of what God is doing.
There’s a good chance that if you are reading this article that some part of you wants to be part of that Nativity Story.
Some part of you wants to be a part of love made real, of God being active in our world, of a world that can change.
Some part of you wants to be a part of the Christmas story. Maybe not the one that’s written in the book with the shepherds and the manger and the wise men, but a part of the Christmas story, nonetheless.
I believe that God is not only still active in this world, and God is still writing the Christmas story. God is still writing
the story of what happened when Christ came into this world as the Prince of Peace, and what happened next. And you
can be part of that story.
The question is do you want to be the innkeeper who could not find room for Jesus or do you want to open your heart
wide?
“Make My Life a Bethlehem” (Courtney)
Make my life a Bethlehem, a manger of my heart,
Let me hear the angels sing and let the music start.
May I fall in simple faith and wonder to my knees,
In the manger of my heart let Christ be born in me.
In my life there is a place that’s scattered with the straw
of every disappointment, each regret and every flaw.
In this dark and dismal place my beasts of burden lie
weary from the heavy load they long to lay aside.
Make my life a Bethlehem…
Come and sweep this stable clean and swaddle it with light,
And let the Child be born in me upon a starlit night.
For though He’s born a thousand times in far off Bethlehem,
until the Savior’s born in me I cannot worship Him.
Make my life a Bethlehem…
May I fall… “The Family Tree” (Matthew 1:1-17)
Merry Christmas to all and have a blessed Christmas.
Father Ed

Christmas 2015
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
A Blessed Christmas to you all.
My greeting comes at a time marked by sad and troubling news for our city, our nation and our world.
The joyful news of Christmas competes in these days
with stories of street violence in our city, of wars,
conflicts and acts of terriorism throughout the world
including in our own nation.
As people of faith, we must read these “signs of the
times.” As we do, so Christimas gives us a proper
perspective: the sadness of violence and war does not
have the last word. God has come to save us, for we
cannot save ourselves. The savior born to us raises us
up from darkness and brings us into his own wonderful light.
One of the Christmas readings taken from
Paul’s letter to Titus says this:
When the kindness and generous love
of God our savior appeared,
not because of any righteous deeds we had done
but because of his mercy,
he saved us…Titus 3:4-5
We hear those words “because of his mercy,” especially as we celebrate the Jubilee of Mercy this year.
The challenge for us is not just to believe that God is
merciful, but also to believe that God is merciful to
us and that God is blessing us with his mercy precisely at this very moment, and in the limited circumstances of our lives and relationships. When we
accept that mercy, we will be transformed and become the merciful light of God in a dark and cold
world. Then, our own works of mercy will, in turn,
bring hope, healing, and renewal, just as God’s
mercy has done for us.

MASS TIMES FOR CHRISTMAS
The Christmas Eve Mass times will remain the same 2:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m., and 10:00 p.m. This year
the Christmas Day Masses will be at 7:30 a.m., 9:30 a.m.,
and 11:30 a.m. This will ease the traffic flow between
Masses on this high traffic day. Since Christmas is on a
Friday and followed by a weekend, we will have 4 days
of Masses in a row. Even when this is not case, it is often
difficult to find enough Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors,
Altar Servers, and Ushers, to staff 8 Masses over the
course of Christmas Eve and Christmas, and we are hoping that this schedule for Christmas Day will help with all
of those things.
FEAST OF THE HOLY FAMILY
Join us at Mass the weekend of December 26th and 27th the Feast of the Holy Family - for a special blessing of all
families.
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION NEWS

OUR LADY OF THE WAYSIDE
GRIEF AND THE HOLIDAYS
If you have recently lost a loved one, the holidays
may be very painful for you. Here are some
guidelines about dealing with your grief during a
time when so many are joyful:
Expect some pain. Don’t be afraid to cry.
Worrying about crying is an extra emotional
burden. Let your feelings flow.
Think about your holiday traditions and routines.
You might keep your favorites but begin new
ones:
Have your holiday dinner at a different time,
place or serving style (i.e., buffet instead of sit
down dinner).
Worship at a different service.
Buy gifts on-line or from catalogs. Ask a friend to
do your shopping. Or skip gift-giving for his year.
It’s all okay.
Eliminate baking cookies, sending cards or
decorating if it seems more than you can handle
right now.
Focus on winter activities rather than holidays.
HOW TO HELP A GRIEVING FRIEND
Many newly bereaved say the holidays from
Thanksgiving through New Year’s Day are the
hardest for them. That is when the void caused by
loss of the loved one is most acutely felt.
If you are a friend to someone who is grieving
during the holidays, you can help in small but
meaningful ways:
Be there. Your loving presence means more than
you can imagine. You need do nothing special.
Listen. Let your friend set the pace and direction
of your conversation. Avoid offering advice.
Avoid platitudes. Simply listen. Be comfortable
with the silences.
Encourage your friend to express his feelings sorrow, anger, disbelief, whatever needs airing.
Respect those feelings, and don’t try to talk him
out of them or ask him not to cry.
Offer your help with the extra work the holidays
bring - shopping, baking, wrapping gifts. Do this
work together if possible. Small blocks of time
often work best.
Honor your friend’s loved one by speaking her
name. Share rich memories of her. Perhaps you
will want to express your own sorrow at her
absence and your wish that she were with you
both during these holidays.
Accept invitations to spend time with people you
enjoy, and prepare them for the possibility of
your leaving early. Decline invitations that will
make you feel sadder.
Be patient with your friend. Grief is a journey that is
different for everyone - and it knows no timetable.
Don’t act as if the deceased never lived. Talk
about your loved one. Encourage others to share
stories that will enhance your memories.

them. Amen.

CYCLES OF FAITH
December 25, 2015
Nativity of the Lord"
And we saw his glory." Never before or since, in the
entire course of human history, have men and
women been able to gaze upon the face of God. But
for a brief moment in time, God "became flesh and
made his dwelling among us." This is the remarkable event we celebrate on Christmas.
At that first Christmas some two thousand years ago,
the glory of God was revealed through the face of a
child. As a tiny, helpless creature, completely dependent upon his mother to sustain him, this humble
little baby came into the world. Yet this infant was
"the only Son, God, who is at the Father's side."
Why is it that the eternal majesty of the triune God
should choose to appear in such a simple way? How
does this humility reveal what St. Paul calls today,
"the refulgence of [God's] glory, the very imprint of
his being on Christmas"?
Today we celebrate a holy day that is unlike any
other. Indeed we celebrate a BELIEF that is unlike
any other when we proclaim, as Christians, that God
became man and walked in our midst. No other major world religion makes such an astonishing claim.
And with this comes our unique understanding of
the humble nature of God. We believe in a God
whose glory is not the glory of the world. His majesty is not like that of earthly kings and rulers.
Rather, we believe in a Heavenly Father who loves
his little children enough to live among them. This
Father takes joy in the joy of his children. Jesus once
remarked that just as we desire to give good gifts to
our children, "how much more will your heavenly
Father give good things to those who ask him" (Mt
7:11).
This Christmas, may we remember that the greatest
gift is Christ himself.
