4th SUNDAY OF ADVENT

(STILL MEETING PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE)

This year the 4th Sunday of Advent falls on Christmas Eve. Because of our need for Christmas Eve Masses, our Sunday Mass celebrations go through 12:45 Mass – after that all Masses on Sunday are Christmas Eve vigils. All of this be-cause the greatest story of meeting people where they are comes to life for us on Christmas – “For God so loved the

world, that He sent His only Son”. (John 3:16) (“Long lived the world in sin and error pining—Til He appeared and the

soul felt it’s worth…” from O Holy Night - lyricist, Placide Cappeau)

Fr. Olin, Fr. Malcolm and the staff of St. Clare Parish, Wish you all a very blessed Christmas season – and beyond!

Little Rock Scripture Study will be continuing their study on the

“Gospel of John” beginning Wednesday, January 10th

and Thursday evening, January 11th in Renehan Hall. Since we will be going

back to our original study format with Little Rock Scripture study it’s a perfect

time to jump in. The cost of the materials is $15.

Contact Shelly or Gary Smith at

661-2524683 for more info. Have a very blessed Advent season and

Merry Christmas!

Why Do We Do That?

Catholic Traditions explained

Question:

Why do the Gospels differ in their details? I was surprised

to learn that not all of the Gospels tell the same stories, for

example, the Nativity. Doesn't this take away from their

credibility?

Answer:

Take any event that happens, from family trips to national

politics and ask two or three different people to explain

what happened. You will get a different version of the

same story. People tend to tell the story from their per-

spective, and past experience shades what we recall and

how we recall it. Our choice of words and what details we

leave in or out is also influenced by the audience who is

listening to our tales.

The Gospel writers are no different. Each one tells the

story of Jesus from their own perspective. Versions differ

in some details, not because one is true and the other is

not, but because each Gospel writer, or Evangelist, has a

different theological point to communicate as well as a

different audience for whom he is writing. He picks and

chooses the details of his Gospel based on what message

he is preaching, what his audience may already know, and

what message they need to hear. The various details of the

Gospels point more to their authenticity as a record of the

church's experience and understanding of Jesus. In a good

study Bible, the background notes for each Gospel contain

a lot of information that helps us better understand each

Evangelist and his message.
