This is one of my favorite celebrations of the year! Our God, the God of the universe, the God who created the moon, the stars, and the Grand Canyon, chose to humble himself to take on human flesh in such a beautiful way; in a way that we can all relate to; as part of a family. With the birth of Christ came a new family of three. I think we focus so much on the divinity of Christ, that we often forget that here are these new parents trying to cope with all the things that new parents struggle with. Mary and Joseph had to change diapers, get up in the middle of the night when Jesus was crying, worry about what to feed him and how much, catch him when he fell as he learned to walk, and be there to comfort him when he got a “boo boo.” All the sudden this little boy, this true gift from God, was entrusted to them! Jesus could have come as a teenager, as a young man, or any other form ever created (he is God after all), but he chose to come as a baby that had to rely on his parents for his every need. This is not only an incredible example of humility, but also shows us as humans how we are called to allow ourselves to be vulnerable with one another. God calls us all into selfless, loving, trusting , holy relationships with our families and friends. This holiday season I pray all of our families grow in holiness by recognizing the many true gifts from God that have been entrusted to us.

LITURGICAL BITS & BYTES Holy Family These days everyone is thinking about resolutions for this New Year. Here is a paraphrase of the Prayer of St. Francis that in this parish family we might grow as the instruments of the Lord's presence as part of our New Year's resolutions. Lord, make our parish the instrument of your presence. Help us to depend not on collections and committees, but on a lively faith. Keep us open to build bridges between people, and not isolate into factions. Guide us to find words that encourage and affirm rather than criticize or belittle. Give us the sensitivity to listen to the needs and hurts of others and not to react with cynicism or selfishness. For we believe that it is ours to build community where there is isolation, To proclaim gospel wholeness where there is brokenness, And to replace the shallow promises made by our world with the promise and the presence of the Risen Lord.

THE CHALLENGE AND PROMISE OF NONVIOLENCE With the December death of Nelson Mandela, and the first anniversary of the shootings at Sandy Hook elementary school, the world’s thoughts turn once again to ending violence and promoting peace. Beginning Jan 23, Incarnation joins with St. Charles, St. Francis of Assisi, and St. Leonard parishes in offering a 12-part program, The Challenge and Promise of Nonviolence. The program helps participants deepen their understanding and practice of peacemaking. Each of the two-hour sessions will combine prayer and ritual, readings and discussion, group interaction and immersion activities; four of the sessions are film nights. The program begins Thurs, Jan 23, 7-9pm at Incarnation. Cost of the participant workbook is $20. The first and third sections (each section is composed of three sessions) will be held on Thursdays. The second and fourth sections will meet on Monday evenings. The last session is Mon, June 30 at St. Charles. To register or for more information, call Marilyn Porcino, 433-1188, ext. 201. Change begins when people of faith come together, gain insight into problems and commit themselves to take action. Please join us as we work with our neighboring parishes to lessen violence and make the world more peaceful. INCARNATION SCHOOL SAVE THE DATE: 12th Annual Trivia Night will be Fri, January 31, 7-11pm at the Parish Center. More info will be forthcoming.

DYNAMIC CATHOLIC BOOK PROGRAM Located in the bookstands in both the Church and Parish Center are great books that will help you learn more about your faith. If you are interested in more information about this program, please contact Fr. Scott: 433-1188 or [email protected] MOMS MORNING ENRICHMENT Join our MOMS Morning Enrichment group as we meet and befriend St. Therese of Lisieux, our most-recently named doctor of the church. We’ll see St. Therese through the eyes of author Heather King in the book Shirt of Flame: A Year with St. Therese of Lisieux. Barnes and Noble says “[Heather] King, a self -proclaimed “sober alcoholic” and Catholic convert, combines witty humor and spiritual depth in her latest memoir, which recounts the year she spent reflecting on the life and writings of St. Thérèse of Lisieux. The book explores Thérèse’s life from childhood to early death, and relates the experiences and spirituality of the 19th-century cloistered nun to King’s own life and spiritual journey in Los Angeles... Join us as we meet this saint of the “Little Way” on Tues, January 7, 9-11 am in Room 105! Books cost $5 and will be sold at the first meeting. Free childcare is available by calling 312-9089 or at [email protected]. MOMS EVENING ENRICHMENT Ladies, are you curious about the Book of Revelation, but too busy to participate in a weekly Bible Study? Join us Wednesday, January 15, 7-9 pm in the Community Room when the MOMS Evening Enrichment group will begin a biweekly journey through the book of Revelation using Jeff Cavin’s Great Adventure series. We’d love to have you join us as we learn more about our faith through study, fellowship, and fun. Cost of the study is $25. To register or for more information contact Kathy Hagerty, 937-434-8342 or [email protected] or Beth Brough, 937-260-3185 or [email protected].
