CHRISTMAS SEASON
Saturday of the Christmas Season - in U.S.
God sent his own Son, born of a woman, so that we could be adopted as his children.
Galatians 4
St. Raymond of Penafort
St. Raymond devoted much of his life to helping the poor. The famous incident which is recounted in the story of Raymond's life took place when he went with King James to Majorca. The King dismissed Raymond's request to return home. Relying on his faith and love of God, Raymond walked on the waves to his ship, spread his cloak to make a sail, made the sign of the cross then sailed to the distant harbor of Barcelona
Remember that, caroling and story telling belong to the whole Christmas season. Hospitality and giving to others also must continue if true Christmas joy is to remain.

TODAY'S SMILE
A Pastor was walking along the corridor of the parochial school near the preschool wing when a group of little ones were trotting by on the way to the cafeteria. One little lad of about three or four stopped and looked at him in his clerical clothes and asked. "Why do you dress funny?"
He told him he was a Pastor and this is the uniform Pastors wear. Then the boy pointed to the Pastor's plastic collar tab and asked, "Do you you have an owie?" The Pastor was perplexed till he realized that to him the collar tab looked like a band aid. So the Pastor took it out and handed it to the boy to show him.
On the back of the tab are raised letters giving the name of the manufacturer. The little guy felt the letters, and the Pastor asked, "Do you know what those words say?"
"Yes I do," said the lad who was not old enough to read. Peering intently at the letters he said, Kills ticks and fleas up to six months
