THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF REVERENCE
FOR THE BLESSED SACRAMENT:
Numbers 6-7
THE PARISH OFFICE is closed through Wed., Jan. 7.
COLLECTION
6. Pass time with the Eucharistic Jesus outside of the Holy
Mass. The Eucharist is always to be adored – before, during
and after the Mass, whether exposed in the Monstrance or
reposed in the Tabernacle.
7. Make frequent Spiritual Communions in which we invite
the Lord into our souls in a similar manner as when we sac-
ramentally receive Holy Communion. These may be made
anytime and anywhere.
26 December ~ Saint Stephen, the First Martyr . Saint
Stephen, whose name means “crown” or garland,” was the
first to gain the crown of martyrdom in the Church, as the
Acts of the Apostles tells us. The account of his death is a
template and model for the martyrdom that would define
Christian life in the first four centuries. After engaging in a
debate with Greek speaking Jews, Stephen recounts for them
their own history as it has been fulfilled in Jesus Christ. To
the ears of his opponents, Stephen’s words are blasphemy,
since he seems to insult the Law and the Jerusalem Temple.
His appearance “like an angel” is a further irritant. They drag
him outside the city and stone him to death. As he dies, he
has a vision of Jesus calling him to heaven, and he immedi-
ately pardons his tormentors. Saint Stephen, pray for us!

From Pope Francis . . . Above all else, this is what Christmas bids
us to do: give glory to God, for he is good,
he is faithful, he is merciful. Today I voice
my hope that everyone will come to know
the true face of God, the Father who has given us Jesus.
My hope is that everyone will feel God’s closeness, live
in his presence, love him and adore him. May each of us
give glory to God above all by our lives, by lives spent
for love of him and of all our brothers and sisters. ~ Pope
Francis, Urbi et Orbi Christmas Message, 2013
Wesolych Swiat Bozego Narodzenia i
