Here are the readings for the Christmas Day Mass (I imagine that most of us will be going to this one unless some of you are courageous enough to take your kiddos to Midnight Mass).
And the questions for the week:
1. In the first reading, we hear these words, “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings glad tidings, announcing peace, bearing good news, announcing salvation, and saying to Zion, ‘Your God is King.’” Each of us is called to bring to others this good news of God’s love that is revealed in the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Who in your family, or friends and neighbors, need to hear this good news? What steps can you take to bring it to them especially when you may see them during Christmas?
2. The second reading tells us that “In these last days God has spoken to us through his Son.” How does Jesus “speak” to you and what difference has it made in your life?
3. In the Gospel reading, we hear these words, “But to those who did accept him he gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name, who were born not by natural generation nor by human choice nor by a man’s decision but of God.” What do these words mean to you? How do you see that God has chosen you to be His child?

Who is coming this week? I have a feeling that everyone may be very busy getting everything (and everyone) ready for Christmas, but we think we'll be there.
