Thank you to everyone that supported our fundraiser at the California Pizza
Kitchen on December 1st.
USCCB > Beliefs and Teachings > What We Believe
Morality
Made in the Image of God
The most basic principle of the Christian moral life is the awareness that every person bears the
dignity of being made in the image of God. He has given us an immortal soul and through the gifts
of intelligence and reason enables us to understand the order of things established in his creation.
God has also given us a free will to seek and love what is true, good, and beautiful. Sadly, because
of the Fall, we also suffer the impact of Original Sin, which darkens our minds, weakens our wills,
and inclines us to sin. Baptism delivers us from Original Sin but not from its effects—especially the
inclination to sin, concupiscence. Within us, then, is both the powerful surge toward the good because we are made in the image of God, and the darker impulses toward evil because of the effects of Original Sin.
But we should always remember that Christ's dying and rising offers us new life in the Spirit, whose
saving grace delivers us from sin and heals sin's damage within us. Thus we speak of the value,
dignity, and goal of human life, even with its imperfections and struggles. Human life, as a profound
unity of physical and spiritual dimensions, is sacred. It is distinct from all other forms of life, since it
alone is imprinted with the very image of its Creator.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Did St. Francis of Assisi invent the Christmas crib? Not exactly, but his devotion to the Incarnation and his love for the poverty of the Christ Child certainly popularized this beloved custom. Long before Francis, it was a custom at the Basilica of St.
Mary Major in Rome to enshrine a rich image of Mary, gilded
and bejewelled, embracing the child Jesus. This church was
founded as a kind of home for the feast of Christmas in the
fourth century. In 1223, Francis was ready to celebrate this
feast in a new way. In the tiny city of Greccio, he asked
friends to prepare a place where they could experience the
poverty and suffering embraced by Christ in his birth. It was a
living scene: an ox from the barn, an ass from the stable, and
peasants standing in for shepherds and kings. The night of the
celebration was beautiful, the weather was warm, and people
came in crowds, bearing candles and singing hymns that echoed through the forest. Francis himself chanted the Gospel and
preached. The custom spread quickly, and by the sixteenth
century cribs were seasonal features not only in church, but in
the home.
On December 17, the liturgy begins to unfold the Lord’s
birth before us, and it’s the right time to follow this beautiful
tradition. In Germany, each night throughout Advent children prepare a bedding for the manger. At bedtime prayer, a
child places a single straw in the manger for each act of devotion or virtue performed during the day. If the children are
good, then the Christ child will have plenty of soft bedding
when he is placed in the manger on Christmas.
