    MERRY CHRISTMAS & WELCOME HOME TO JESUS THE DIVINE WORD CHURCH!

    As we interact responsibly with one another during this pandemic, we at Jesus the Divine Word welcome all who are new to our faith

    community, returning to the Catholic Church, searching for a spiritual home or simply visiting with us during this Christmas season.

    We are glad you are with us. We understand the difficulties associated with these days and want you to feel welcome and at home

    whether you are with us physically or through live-stream. It is a blessing to have you here.

    If you are interested in learning more about our parish or registering as a parishioner, we invite you to contact our pastor, Fr. John Dakes at [email protected] or any member of our parish staff at

    410-414-8304. We also invite you to view other areas of our website - www.jesusdivineword.org – and to download our registration form, the link of

    which is on the front page of the website. We look forward to meeting and getting to know you. Welcome!

    Dear Friends,

    Do you recognize these names? Noble Offspring of David; Spouse of the Mother of God; Foster-Father of the Son of God; Head of the Holy Family; Mirror of Patience; Model of Workmen; Pillar of Families; Comfort of the Afflicted; Hope of the Sick; Patron of the Dying; Protector of the Holy Church. These are just some of the titles associated with St. Joseph. I share them with you today because on December 8th, Pope Francis announced the Year of St. Joseph (December 8, 2020 – December 8, 2021) to coincide with the 150th anniversary of St. Joseph being declared Patron of the Catholic Church by Pope Pius IX in his decree Quemadmodum Deus.

    To focus our attention during this extraordinary year on St. Joseph is particularly appropriate as more than 300,000 Americans have died just from COVID-19 related issues; with an unemployment rate of 6.7%, significantly higher from a year ago when it was 3.5%; when we have come to the realization of how much we rely on “essential workers,” whether at hospitals, grocery stores, Walmart or elsewhere; when our patience has grown thin due to restrictions, elections, divisions in our world, nation and Church and much more. In this Year of St. Joseph Pope Francis is calling our attention to the great friend, strong protector, and powerful intercessor we have before the throne of God.

    As the Church celebrates this Year of St. Joseph, I will convey with you how we at JDW are observing the year by way of this bulletin, the parish website, Flocknotes and pulpit announcements. In the meantime, beginning today, the Feast of the Holy Family, of which Joseph is the Head, we will conclude our Masses by asking the intercession of the Patron and Protector of the Church. Copies of the prayer will be provided.

    “St. Joseph enfold us and those we love and serve in your prayer and obtain for us the daily bread of grace we need for this life.”

    Peace and blessings, Fr. John

    LIVING THE WORD Week of December 27

    Theme: A Family Affair

    “ . . . They took him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord.” Luke 2:22b

    Challenge:

    How are you/your family fulfilling your promises to the Lord?

    WELCOME HOME - COVID UPDATE With the rise of COVID cases in the state Governor Hogan has changed the guidelines for churches and all religious establishments. Church capacity has been reduced to

    50%. Since we have not reached 50% capacity due to our faithful following of CDC, State and local guidelines requiring social distancing of 6 feet between

    individuals/households and the use of facecloths/masks for everyone at Mass there are no changes at JDW at this time. We continue to take seriously the physical and

    spiritual health of our parishioners and want to be sure that at no time is someone at risk while in our church. Everyone’s participation in following all the guidelines as well as the instruction of the ushers is essential for this to occur. This includes keeping

    facemasks on when approaching the minister for Communion. DO NOT lower your masks until having stepped away from the minister. After placing the Eucharist in your mouth, then please put your mask on again. For further

    information regarding participation please see the parish website. Until further notice the dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and

    Holy Days of Obligation is still in effect. As a reminder, weekday Masses are celebrated Tuesday through Friday at 8:00 AM

    with Saturday Morning Mass at 9:00 AM. Sunday Masses are celebrated at 5:00 PM on Saturday and 8:00 and 10:00 AM on Sunday. Doors open 30 minutes before

    Mass. Parishioners may choose to sit in the church (as long as there is room) or go directly to Doran Hall. Both the 5 PM and the 10 AM Masses are live streamed. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is celebrated on Wednesday evenings from

    7:00 – 8:00 PM and Saturday afternoons from 3:30 – 4:30 PM between the priest vesting sacristy and Fr. John’s office. Confessions are celebrated either face-to-face or

    with anonymity, all depending on the desire of the penitent. Appointments are also welcomed.

    Parish offices are open, though on a revised schedule this Christmas week and some staff may be working remotely if they did not take vacation time. Office hours this

    week are Tuesday through Thursday 9 AM – 12:30 PM. The best way to reach staff is still through e-mail. All appointments need to be set up in advance through a

    phone call or e-mail that proper safety procedures can be guaranteed. Thank you for your continued cooperation and understanding.

    MAKING a SPIRITUAL ACT of COMMUNION 1. If you are not ready to return to the parish for Mass, we invite you to join us for our live streamed Mass at either 5:00 PM on Saturday or 10:00 AM Sunday (rebroadcast at Noon Sunday) or 2. Gather with others in your home and begin your prayer with the Sign of the Cross

    3. Take time to read and reflect upon the readings for the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph – Genesis 15:1-6; 21:1-3; Hebrews 11:8, 11-12, 17-19; and Luke 2:22-40

    4. Share your prayers intentions aloud or offer them quietly in your hearts 5. Pray the Lord's Prayer (Our Father) 6. Offer the following Prayer of Spiritual Communion:

    My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the

    Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist.

    I love you above all things, and desire to receive you

    into my soul.

    Since I am unable to receive you

    sacramentally at this time,

    come spiritually into my heart.

    I embrace you as if you were already there and

    unite myself wholly to you.

    Never permit me to be separated from you.

    Amen. (An Act of Spiritual Communion by St. Alphonsus Liguori)

    7. Close with the Sign of the Cross

    CRITICALLY ILL or HOSPITALIZED during the CORONAVIRUS?

    Caring for the sick is an important ministry of the Church. In this ministry the Church prays for the sick, visits the

    sick, provides the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick and Viaticum (one’s last Communion), if a person is dying.

    Though we are living in very unusual times at the present due to the coronavirus, we are still committed to ensuring that no one who is sick will be neglected.

    If a person is critically ill or dying we are asking that a family member notify the parish office as soon as possible by calling 410-414-8304 and speaking with

    either Fr. John (ext. 11) or Bobbie Woollen (ext. 10).

    A reminder, too, that the parish emergency phone number (to be used only when someone is critically ill or dying) is 443-624-2692.

    Please call only, do not text (it’s a flip phone). Please note, too, that clergy are required to follow certain directives at the hospital and nursing home at this time

    and that those directives could change. Thank you.

    BLESSING OF FAMILIES

    Today is the Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. While we honor the sacred

    family in which the Savior of the World lived, we also seek to lift up and pray for our own families,

    especially in this Year of St. Joseph, the Spouse of Mary and foster father of Jesus.

    The feast also presents the Holy Family as the

    model for all Christian families. Our family life becomes sanctified when we live the life of the

    Church within our homes.

    After all Masses today we will offer a blessing for each of our families present

    and live-streaming, no matter the make-up of your family.

    “O Little Town of Bethlehem”

    The fact that Jesus chose to be born in Bethlehem is very

    important. Bethlehem is the city where

    David was born, the second King of Israel. Jesus, the last King of Israel, by being born in Bethlehem, follows in David’s footsteps as the royal heir to the

    Kingdom of God.

    Bethlehem is a Jewish word that means “House of Bread.”

    Jesus declared Himself to be the Bread of Life in John 6:35. When the Blessed Virgin Mary

    placed Jesus in a feeding trough (a manger) for sheep

    inside the stable, she gave us a

    foreshadowing of the Eucharist – the stable represents the church,

    the manger is the altar, and Jesus is the

    Eucharist, or the supernatural Bread of Life. We are His sheep who come to the altar

    on Sundays to commune with Him.

    PARISH HAPPENINGS

    A strong man who wavered for a moment, but then learned one cannot come to terms with evil, and so became a strong churchman, a martyr,

    and a saint—that was Thomas Becket, archbishop of Canterbury, murdered in his cathedral on December 29, 1170.

    His career had been a stormy one. While archdeacon of Canterbury, he was made chancellor of England at the age of 36 by his friend

    King Henry II. When Henry felt it advantageous to make his chancellor the archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas gave him fair warning: he might not accept all of Henry’s intrusions into Church affairs. Nevertheless, in

    1162 he was made archbishop, resigned his chancellorship, and reformed his whole way of life!

    Troubles began. Henry insisted upon usurping Church rights. At one time, supposing some conciliatory action possible, Thomas came close to compromise. He momentarily approved the Constitutions of Clarendon, which would have denied the clergy the right of trial by a Church court and prevented them from making

    direct appeal to Rome. But Thomas rejected the Constitutions, fled to France for safety, and remained in exile for seven years. When he returned to England he suspected it would mean certain death. Because Thomas

    refused to remit censures he had placed upon bishops favored by the king, Henry cried out in a rage, “Will no one rid me of this troublesome priest!” Four knights, taking his words as his wish, slew Thomas in

    the Canterbury cathedral.
