PRAYERS & INSTRUCTION

ANGEL’S ANNOUNCEMENT
THE SHEPHERDS ADORE THEIR SAVIOR
‘This day is born to you a Savior,’ said
the angel, ‘and this shall be a sign unto you,
you shall find the Infant wrapped in swaddling
clothes, and laid in a manger.’
The infancy of Jesus a sign of humil-
ity; the swaddling clothes a sign of pov-
erty; the manger, or the roughness of the
cradle, a sign of mortification. Such is the
threefold sign which the angel gave to the
shepherds and to us all, as a proof that
Jesus was really the promised Savior of
the world, and, in fact, as our Savior He
had to expiate our sins, which all proceed
from three sources pride, avarice, and
sensuality. He had also to show and en-
courage us by His example more than by
His words, how to adopt the only means
which will succeed in keeping us from sin.
He was doing both when He came into
the world with the tokens of humility,
poverty, and mortification.
Have we not often read or listened
to this part of the Gospel without under-
standing its meaning, without seeing the
wonderful conformity of the signs given
by the angel with the qualities of the
promised Savior? One angel, supposed by
some to be the Archangel Gabriel, was
sent to announce the birth of Jesus; but
when it pleased God to glorify His Son
He sent legions of angels. ‘And suddenly
there was with the angel a multitude of the heav-
enly army, praising God, and saying, Glory to
God in the highest, and on earth peace to men of
good will.’ After the angels departed from
them into heaven, the shepherds said one
another, ‘Let us go over to Bethlehem, and let
us see this word that is come to pass, which the
Lord hath showed to us.’
The shepherds having reached the
place pointed out by the angel, found
Mary and Joseph, and the Infant lying in
the manger. With their bodily eyes they
only saw an ordinary Infant, but with the
eyes of faith, they saw under that veil of
feebleness the infinite majesty and good-
ness of God their Savior.
What joy they felt before the Divine
Child, and what special graces they car-
ried away with them! We have the same
God on our altars, veiled under still great-
er feebleness. Let us visit Him, then, of-
ten, animated with the same faith and
feelings as the shepherds had. Here we
can truly say that all depends on faith. Let
us try to revive and strengthen it in us as
we go towards the sanctuary, by repre-
senting Jesus to ourselves in a visible
form, as a loving child calling us to Him,
and holding out His little hands full of
heavenly gifts.

ANNOUNCEMENTS & INFORMATION
CHRISTMAS PAGEANT TODAY!
This Christmastide, the young of St. Anthony Oratory will once again
be hosting a nativity
play to honor the sea-
son. The Pageant will
take place following
the 11am High Mass
and will be followed
with a special Christmas
convivium. This event will be
a potluck fellowship, thus it is asked
that a main dish, side dish, or desserts, and drinks for the family
be contributed to share. Thank you to all of our volunteers. May God bless you for your good family spirit!

Each time we say, "Jesus," reverently,

AS WE APPROACH 2018
With the year comes to a close, it
is most appropriate to publicly ex-
press our gratitude to the many per-
sons who help to make our Oratory
what it is. It would not be possible
to individually name everyone who
ought to be included, however it
would be good to mention our altar
servers, members of our choirs,
church cleaning teams, ushers, and
so many more who donate their time
and recourses for the greater glory
of God and the benefit of all.
Much thanks to you all
FROM THE RECTOR:
Canon Bovee would like to
express his gratitude to all ex-
pressions of magnanimity this
Christmas season. May the good
Lord reward your kindness.
we give God infinite joy and glory,
for we offer Him all the infinite mer-
its of the Passion and Death of Jesus
Christ. Each time we say "Jesus," let
us clearly wish to offer God all the
Masses being said all over the world
for all our intentions. We thus share
in these thousands of Masses. Each
time we say "Jesus," we can gain in-
dulgences for the Holy Souls in Pur-
gatory, thus relieving and liberating
very many of these holy souls from
their awful pains. Thus they may be
our best friends and pray for us-----
they cannot pray for themselves,
however. Each time we say "Jesus," it
is an act of perfect love, for we offer
to God the infinite love of Jesus.
The Holy Name of Jesus saves us
from innumerable evils and delivers
us especially from the power of the
devil, who is constantly seeking to do
us harm. St. Antony revealed that
there are swarms of devils every-
where, but that they are powerless to
harm us when we use the Holy
Name of Jesus and sacramentals to
ward them off. The Holy Name of
Jesus gradually fills our souls with a
peace and joy we never had before.
The Holy Name of Jesus gives us
strength that our sufferings become
light and easy to bear.

THE M OST H OLY N AM E OF JESUS
"That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth" Philippians
2:10
The feast of the Holy Name was established for universal Church in 1721 by Pope Innocent XIII. If there is a Sunday
in the interval between January 1 and January 6, this Sunday is the feast of the Holy Name.
The name Jesus comes from the Greek Iesous which was derived from the Aramaic, Yeshu, meaning ‘Yaweh is salva-
tion.’ The name was not unique, even in biblical times, and today it is common in Arabic-speaking East and in Spanish-
speaking countries. From apostolic times the name has been treated with the greatest respect, as honor is due the name
which represents Our Lord, himself. The Holy Name of Jesus is, first of all, an all-powerful prayer. Our Lord Himself
solemnly promises that whatever we ask the Father in His Name we shall receive. God never fails to keep His word.
When, therefore, we say, "Jesus," let us ask God for all we need with absolute confidence of being heard. For this reason,
the Church ends her prayer with the words, "through Jesus Christ," which
gives the prayer a new and Divine efficacy.
Jesus is a name which is substantially the same in sound in all the lan-
guages of the world, and is written 968 times in the New Testament. The
Holy Name of Jesus is an all-powerful prayer. Our Lord Himself solemnly
promises that whatever we ask the Father in His Name we shall receive.
God never fails to keep His word. No Catholic should ever, under any
circumstances, profane the Holy Name of Jesus, or allow anyone to do so
in his presence. Cont’d on Pg. 3
