pm. God, Gods & No Gods: The Religions of Planet Earth with
Dr. Robin Lathangue
Why Compare religions? What value is there in knowing about the
teaching of traditions other than one’s own? Are religions really all
that different, or basically the same – like alternative hiking trails
to the top of the mountains? What are the trigger points, if any, that
make it difficult for them to get along together?
All these questions and more await your curiosity.

Gospel Matthew 2.1-12 www.loyolapress.com
The shepherds find Jesus in a manger in Bethlehem.
Gospel Reflection
Today’s reading is a continuation from the Gospel proclaimed at
the Christmas Mass at midnight. In it the shepherds act upon the
message they receive from the angel and go to find Jesus in the
manger in Bethlehem. In their visit to the manger, the shepherds
find things just as the angel had said. The shepherds’ visit,
therefore, is a moment of fulfillment, manifestation, and the
beginning of the salvation we receive through Christ.
In the context of today’s Solemnity, this reading also helps us
focus on Mary as the Mother of God. The reading tells us at least
three things about Mary as a mother. First, Mary is described as a
reflective person, keeping the reports of the shepherds in her heart.
Second, we are reminded of how obedient Mary was to God when
she named the baby Jesus as the angel Gabriel had directed. Third,
this reading shows Mary and Joseph faithfully observing their
Jewish tradition by having Jesus circumcised.
Mary’s faithfulness to God is evident in all three of these things.
Her reflection upon the events in her life indicates that she was a
person of prayer. This prayer made possible her obedience to God
and God’s will, even if the outcome was not clear. Finally, her
faithfulness to a community of faith grounded her relationship with
God and enabled her to participate in God’s plan of salvation.
Because of Mary’s faithfulness to God, she was able to receive the
gift of God’s Son and accept her role in God’s plan for salvation.
By doing so, she models for us the path of discipleship and is also
called Mother of the Church.
Our call to discipleship also includes these three aspects. First,
discipleship means prayer and reflection on the events of our lives
that we might see God’s presence and work in our lives. Second,
discipleship means obedience to God and God's will. Third,
discipleship includes fidelity to a community of faith.
Support Needed: As we enter the Season of Advent let us
intensify our efforts in supporting the need for food in our
community. Bring an item or a bag of non-perishable food when
you come to church as your offering to the Lord. Collected food is
shared between Harvest Share & Salvation Army.

The more people use moderation in their lives,
