Attached is the image I created for my Advent retreat this year called Touched by Light. Catholic Social Teaching deems the four pillars of peace as Truth, Justice, Charity (love) and Freedom.
"Putting
them into practice is the sure and necessary way of obtaining personal
perfection and a more human social existence. ... In the different
choices made by men and women, these values are either affirmed or
denied." http://www.vatican.

In
the Child of Bethlehem, God comes to meet us and make us active sharers
in the life around us. He offers himself to us, so that we can take him
into our arms, lift him and embrace him.... In this Child, God invites
us to be messengers of hope. He invites us to become sentinels for all
those bowed down by the despair born of encountering so many closed
doors. In this child, God makes us agents of his hospitality....
We
ask that your crying may shake us from our indifference and open our
eyes to those who are suffering. May your tenderness awaken our
sensitivity and recognize our call to see you in all those who
arrive...in our histories, in our lives.

Dear Scholastica,
Christmas is nigh!
Today’s readings remind
us that Jesus, as He comes to be born of the Virgin, is also the Ancient
of Days, our Shepherd Whose rule will extend to the ends of the Earth.
This mystery, among the many beautiful mysteries of our Catholic Faith,
demonstrates what the Angel said to Mary at the Annunciation “Nothing
will be impossible for God.”
First reading: Micah 5:1-4a
Psalm: Psalm 80:2-3, 15-16, 18-19
Second reading: Hebrews 10:5-10
Gospel: Luke 1:39-45
Today’s Gospel reading
includes the great Magnificat, Mary’s timeless song of praise for her
Creator and our Creator. May we, like John the Baptist who leapt in
Elizabeth’s womb at the sound of Mary’s voice, also rejoice at Mary’s
announcement of our Savior!
I pray that your
Christmas is filled with faith and family, and with rejoicing and praise
for our Savior Who has kept His promise of mercy.
May God richly bless you this Christmas,
Father Joseph Mary Wolfe, MFVA
