NAME (Print) ________________________________________ DATE: _________________ SIGNATURE & RELATIONSHIP (MUST BE A FAMILY MEMBER): -3- shhhhh! By Diogenes Each year the Christmas holiday season brings in a fresh new crop of legal cases, in which government officials forbid the display of religious symbols, performance of religious hymns, and so forth. Each year these test cases are a bit more ridiculous, and 2006 promises another bumper crop on absurdity. Credit the city of Chicago with the silliest decision in the beforeDecember-begins category, and this one is going to be tough to beat. Sponsors of a Christmas holiday festival have decided not to allow New Line Cinema to display a trailer from the new film, The Nativity Story, because it might be offensive to nonChristian patrons of the festival. -3- GOSHEN, NEW YORK That festival, by the way, is a traditional German observance known as the Christkindlmarket. (Christuskind means Christ Child)It's OK to say it, apparently, if you use a foreign language. Don't spread it around, but it the people who might get offended must not be very b_r_i_g_h_t. Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord. Of course you would not know it by the stores, TV, radio but we are only beginning the season of Advent. Actually the first two weeks of Advent have to do with the SECOND COMING of Christ. We profess the Faith received from the Apostles that Jesus will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead at a time known only to God the Father. Hence the priest puts on purple vestments and the readings from Scripture tell us: Be on guard. Be ready at all times to meet the Lord. In the Eastern churches and in the history of the Latin Church Advent took on a penitential character a “little Lent” if you will. Of course the root-meaning of penance is a greater conversion, a greater turning to the Lord in our lives. The last two weeks of Advent focus more on the FIRST COMING of Christ in Bethlehem. Practically the Church calls us to more intense prayer, mediation on the Scriptures about the Second Coming and the prophecies about the Messiah in the prophet Isaiah. It calls us to more intense works of mercy, selfsacrifice for the Lord, and the confession of our sins not just generally in the penitential rite of the Mass but also in the Sacrament of Confession. Other ways to prepare for the Lord during Advent are: GET AN ADVENT WREATH. This is a flat wreath into which are inserted four candles each representing a week of Advent. Light the candle at the supper table and pray together as a family. MAKE A JESSE TREE. This is a tree from which you hang ornaments remember Jesus’ roots in the Israel. You could hang an Ark, Jacob’s ladder, David’s harp and so forth. COUNT DOWN TO CHRISTMAS WITH AN ADVENT CALENDAR. You can buy Advent calendars on line or in a religious store and each day you open a door on the calendar which reveals a biblical scene. For example www.strictlychristmas.com DISCOVER THE REAL SANTA CLAUS. The real Santa Claus is of course St. Nicholas of Myra whose feast day is on December 6. This is a day in many countries on which gifts are shared and candy is distributed. This is to imitate the charity of St. Nicholas who tradition tells us gave to the needy in secret hence you get the legend about St. Nicholas coming down chimneys unseen by those to whom he will give gifts. SAY MERRY CHRISTMAS. Christ is the reason for the season. We ought not to be ashamed of Him and we should proclaim this feast day proudly. SEND A CHRISTMAS CARD TO THE ACLU. Every year the anti-Christian American Civil Liberties Union sends out its anti-Christmas crèche squad to start law suits. Remind them respectfully and with charity of the reason for the season and that the First Amendment to the Constitution guarantees freedom of religion not freedom from religion.
