SAINT BONIFACE CATHOLIC CHURCHFAITH HOSPITALITY SERVICE 22 & 25 DEC 2019: NATIVITY OF OUR LORD“And this will be a sign for you:You shall find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothesand lying in a manger”(Luke 2:12)We often look for God in magnificent religious places, in extraordinary religiousexperiences—and in ornamented rituals. Yet we forget that this God of ours islying in the manger—right before our eyes, needing a home and our love.We need to look again—at our hearts, our homes, and our community. We willfind estranged places and wounded hearts that are crying for our friendship, loving reception, and restoration. We need to approach them with humility.As families wrapped the gifts for Angel Tree, I thought of parishioners who losttheir loved ones, struggling through difficult diagnosis, overwhelmed with financial challenges, overcome by loneliness, searching for meaning in life, goingthrough a dark place in marriage, and those frightened of mortality. I thoughtof the youth, the sick, the elderly I met in India and El Salvador as well.Yes, all are lying in mangers—altars upon which the Divine Child rests. All needto be wrapped—in warm clothes. Could we not become real nourishments?Could we not become the new Bethlehem for the entire community!A Blessed Christmas to all of you, Father ChinnaMission“Being the Joy of theGospel through a deeper lovefor Jesus and by a strongercommitment to each other!”Weekday Mass:Tuesday: 5:30 PMWednesday: 7:00 AMThursday: 8:00 AMFriday: 7:00 AMWeekend Mass:Saturday: 5:00 PMSunday: 7:30; 9:00; and11:00 AM*Confession:Tuesday: 4 — 5:15 PMSaturday: 9 — 10:30 AM*Father Chinna isavailable for Confessionduring the week: Please callthe office! 1200 S.

REFLEXION“Y esto será una señal para ti:Encontrarás un bebé envuelto en pañalesy acostado en un pesebre”(Lucas 2:12)A menudo buscamos a Dios en magníficos lugares religiosos,en experiencias religiosas extraordinarias y en rituales ornamentados. Sin embargo, olvidamos que este Dios nuestro yaceen el pesebre, justo ante nuestros ojos, necesitando un hogar ynuestro amor.Necesitamos mirar de nuevo a nuestros corazones, nuestroshogares y nuestra comunidad. Encontraremos lugares separados y corazones heridos que lloran por nuestra amistad, recepción amorosa y restauración. Necesitamos acercarnos a elloscon humildad.Mientras envolvíamos los regalos para los necesitados, penséen los feligreses que perdieron a sus seres queridos, luchandoa través de diagnósticos difíciles, abrumados por desafíos financieros, inundados por los dolores de la soledad, buscandosentido en la vida, atravesando un lugar oscuro en el matrimonio, y temerosos de la mortalidad. Pensé en los jóvenes, losenfermos, los ancianos que conocí en India y El Salvadortambién.Todos yacen en pesebres, los altares sobre los que descansa elfrágil. Todos deben estar envueltos en ropa abrigada. ¿Nopodríamos convertirnos en verdaderos alimentos? ¡No podemos convertirnos en el nuevo Belén para toda la comunidad!Una bendecida Navidad para todos ustedes, padre ChinnaWEEKLY CALENDARSaturday, 21 December6:30 PM: Christmas Concert [Church]Sunday, 22 December9:00 & 11:00 AM: NO YFF Classes9:30 AM: Word & Communion Service [LegacyRetirement Center]Monday, 23 December5:45 PM: NO Youth Faith Formation Classes7:00 PM: Prayer Group/Patriotic RosaryTuesday, 24 DecemberWednesday, 25 DecemberThursday, 26 December6:30 AM: Men of Boniface8:30 AM: Scripture Study Group7:00 PM: RCIAFriday, 27 DecemberNo events scheduledSaturday, 28 DecemberNo events scheduledSunday, 29 December9:00 & 11:00 AM: NO YFF ClassesDEVOTIONALSThe altar bread and wine is being offered thisweek by Mary Ann Grieb in loving memoryfor Warren and Roger Grieb.
