Sadly, one of the most difficult reforms of the Second
Vatican Council for the Church to embrace has been
one of the most thorough and beautiful: the sacrament of penance. Because it is individual and private,
it has been difficult for the changes to take root.
Sometimes a priest may be grounded in the earlier
form, and at other times the penitent may resist the
priest’s attempt to blend in the proper texts and rituals.
Perhaps because the new form is almost identical in
structure to the old, it has been difficult to institute. It
may also be true that with the liturgy in English now,
it is far more clear that the Eucharist, too, is a
“sacrament of reconciliation.”
It is certainly true that there are different skills and
gifts in ministry, and experienced penitents know that
not all priests are equally at ease in this sacramental
encounter. Sometimes a difficult experience can drive
people away from a liturgy that is spiritually rich and
rewarding. Yet we know that one bad meal seldom
puts people off restaurants forever: the dinner gong
tends to dispel bad memories, and so we try again.
Individual confession and absolution is for us both
treasure and tradition. If you haven’t been for a while,
consider coming back to praise God for this gift of
mercy.
LOVE SHOWN IN ACTION
Do you receive the word of God with joy as the Thessalonians did? Their faith showed in their actions. They became
models for other believers.
The first reading tells us to put our faith into action. This
passage is part of a long list of ordinances God commanded
the Israelites to observe. God will judge us by how we treat
our neighbors. God will hear the cries of any whom we neglect or mistreat and will come to their defense.
In today’s Gospel the Pharisees put the question of God’s
law to Jesus. “Which commandment of the law is the greatest?” (Matthew 22:36) How could he possibly choose from
all the detailed commandments the Jews observed? He was
sure to offend somebody by his answer! Of course, Jesus
went right to the heart of the matter. Love is the greatest
commandment—love of God and love of neighbor. Everything else is based on this.

Bethlehem Nativity Products
_______________________________
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Bethlehem Nativity Products will be visiting your parish on behalf of the Christian families in Bethlehem. For centuries, the Christian and Catholics in Bethlehem have
earned a living by carving olive wood religious art to sell to
visiting pilgrims. Fewer pilgrims are visiting journeying to
the Holy Land today, making it difficult for Christians artisans to support their families by the dignified work of
Christ’s birth.
Because of the lake of work, there has been a dramatic rise in Christian emigration from the Holy Land. Christians once made up more then %60 of the population in
Bethlehem area, now we are less then %1 of the people in
the Holy Land.
During our visit of your parish we will have hand
carved Nativities scenes, Ornaments, Statues, Crosses and
much more beautiful olive wood hand carved religious
items, please consider purchasing a piece of art from the
Holy Land to support your fellow Christians who choose to
stay and protect the holy sites where Jesus himself lived,
your purchase will make a difference in the lives of many
Christian families, if you are not able to visit our display
please visit our website at www.bethlehemnativity.com .
We accept cash, checks and all credit cards, Thank you in
advance.
Please visit our display
