6 Select your message. Message A Dear Parishioners, Christmas is a time of anticipation. Children and even adults wait anxiously for the weeks, days, and hours to tick down to Christmas. Advent is our time of spiritual anticipation. Just as Mary did, we watch and wait in hope for the birth of our Lord. We prepare ourselves for His arrival with penance and prayer. Take some extra time this Christmas to join your anticipation to Mary s and wait alongside our Blessed Mother for the birth of Christ. In Christ, Message B Dear Parishioners, One of the phrases Christmas brings to mind is Peace on Earth. What a beautiful vision. It is at Christmas that this vision almost seems to be a possibility. We are kinder to one another. We think of others and give more than we do any other time of the year. We carry with us a spirit of peace. In the midst of the shopping, cooking, and wrapping, take some time to find even a little bit of peace and share it with others. May the Peace of Christ be with you this Christmas and throughout the coming year. In Christ, Bilingual Message C Printed in both English and Spanish on your folder and/or letterhead. (Same as message B) Queridos feligreses, La Navidad nos recuerda la frase Paz en el Mundo, y qué imagen hermosa es. Es durante la Navidad que esta visión casi parece ser una posibilidad. Nos tratamos uno al otro con más cariño. En la temporada navideña, pensamos en otros y somos más generosos que en cualquier otro momento del año. Llevamos con nosotros un espíritu de paz. En medio de hacer la compra, cocinar, y envolver los regalos, debemos dedicar tiempo para encontrar un poco de paz y compartirla con otros. Que la paz de Cristo esté con ustedes para la Navidad y el Año Nuevo. Message D Dear Parishioners, Despite our best efforts to plan, Christmas is often full of uncertainty. Mary and Joseph knew that feeling. Even in the final hours before the birth of their son, they were uncertain where they would find a place to deliver him. One thing they knew for sure was God would take care of them. They held tight to their faith and the message of the angel. Although it may not have been the way they planned it, it turned out the way God planned it. May God s grand design direct and bless your Christmas. In Christ, En Cristo, 6 T F
