SAINT JOHN THE BELOVED

Something which has existed since the beginning.
that we have seen with our own eyes, 
that we have watched and touched with our hands:
the Word, who is life, this is our subject.
That life was made visible:
we saw it and we are giving our testimony,
telling you of the eternal life
which was with the Father 
and has been made visible to us.
What we have seen and heard
we are telling you so that you too
may be in union with us, 
as we are in union with the Father
and with his Son Jesus Christ.
We are writing this to you to make 
our joy complete.

SAINT STEVEN

Stephen was filled with grace and power and began to work miracles and great signs among
the people.  But then certain people came forward to debate with Stephen, some from Cyrene
and Alexandra who were members of the synagogue called the Synagogue of Freedmen and others from Cilicia and Asia.  They found they could not get the better of him because of his wisdom, and because it was the Spirit that prompted what he said.  They were infuriated when they heard this and ground their teeth at him....

MERRY CHRISTMAS - THE REVEALING OF GOD'S GRACE

God's grace has been revealed, and it has made salvation possible for the whole human race and
taught us that what we have to do is to give up everything that does not lead to God, and all our
worldly ambitions; we must be self-restrained and live good and religious lives here in this present
world, while we are waiting in hope for the blessing which will come with the appearing of the
Christmas, Crib, Stall, Bethlehemglory of our great God and saviour Christ Jesus.  He sacrificed himself for us in order to set us free from all wickedness and to purify all people so that it could be his very own and would
have no ambition except to do good.



Heavenly Father thank you for sending Jesus Christ to save humanity.
Thank you Father for fulfilling your promise of salvation of human race.
Thank you Father for your abundance grace, love and mercy.

Thank you Jesus for setting us free from all wickedness, and 
purifying us so that we could your very own. Thank you God our
Heavenly Father.

ELIJAH - JOHN THE BAPTIST

The Lord God says this: Look, I am going to send my messenger
to prepare a way before me. And the Lord you are seeking will
suddenly enter his Temple; and the angel of the covenant whom
you are longing for, yes, he is coming, says the Lord of Hosts.
Who will be able to resist the day of his coming?
Who will remain standing when he appears? For his is like
the refiner's fire........

SONG OF LOVE

I hear my Beloved.
See how he comes
leaping on the mountains,
bounding over the hills.
My Beloved is like a gazelle,
like a young stag.
See where he stands
behind our wall.
He looks in at the window,
he peers through the lattice.

It's a long road to freedom

This season of Advent as I await your coming.
I hear you voice calling, beckoning me to
come for you came into the world because
you love me so much.

As I approach your Holy Altar at Mass
your word or encouragement I hear
'Come then, my love' Thank you Lord Jesus.

THE MAIDEN WITH CHILD

The Lord spoke to Ahaz and said, 'Ask the Lord your God for a sign
for yourself coming either from the depths of sheol or from above.'
'No' Ahaz answered 'I will not put the Lord to the test.'
Then Isaiah said:
'Listen now, House of David:
are you not satisfied with trying the patience of men
without trying the patience of my God, too?
The Lord himself, therefore, will give you a sign.
Itis this: the maiden is with child and will soon give
birth to a son whom she will call immanuel,
a name which means "God is with us."

THE SCEPTER SHALL NOT DEPART FROM JUDAH

Jacob called his sons and said:
'Gather round, sons of Jacob, and listen'
listen to Israel your father.

Judah, your brothers shall praise you:
you grip your enemies by the neck,
your father's sons shall do you homage,
Judah is a lion club,
you climb back, my son, from your kill;
like a lion he crouches and lies down,
or a lioness: who dare rouse him?
The sceptre shall not pass from Judah,
nor the mace from between his feet,
until he come to whom it belongs,
to whom the peoples shall render obedience.'

WORDS OF CONSOLATION

'Console my people, console them'
says your God.
Speak to the heart of Jerusalem and call her
that her time of service is ended,
that her sin is atoned for,
that she has received from the hand of the Lord
double punishment for all her crimes'



Heavenly Father thank you for your love and your words of consolation.
True Father I am a sinner, I deserve your condemnation, but your love
for me is great. You are full of mercy, it is for this reason, I am grateful
to you Father for your loving kindness and faithfulness. Like the 
Shepherd, you will not abandon me, you keep looking for me to bring
me back to you.  Thank You Father, my God.
