Growing in Grace The Christ Child & True Christmas
Prayer for the Week: You are my light and my salvation.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that every- one who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.” John 3:16
Holy God, Thank you for your Son, and the chance to start a new year with fresh eyes, a new heart, and most of all a renewed faith in the fact that you loved us so much to send your Son to save us. Jesus suffered our eve- ryday trials and then gave His life so that we may know you fully in Heaven. Help us to remember His humility in times of pride, His good- ness in times of self-centeredness, His giving in times of selfishness, his love in times of hatred. Amen
Our Father, Pope Benedict XVI, in his reflections from Christmas: Spir- itual Thoughts Series, tells us that “God’s sign for us is humility.” That he sent His only son, Jesus, into the world for us as a baby, completely dependent on his parents, craving the loving touch, the words of kind- ness, the guiding spirit, and the basic survival needs from those around Him to survive. Jesus let us touch Him, He invited us to love Him and to talk and follow Him.
This Christmas Season, how can I vow to change myself and be the one light in someone’s path that makes a difference this year? This Season, let us prepare ourselves with humility and simply opening our hearts, minds and soul to receive the gifts that Jesus offers us in His coming as a infant: light, joy and peace. Let our light shine this year, by helping others, being a friend to someone in need, communicating more with God, and inviting Him to be a more important part of our lives.
“The future starts today, not tomorrow.” -St John Paul II

St. Philip’s Spiritual Adoption Program Begins This Weekend
What is the Spiritual Adoption Program? The Spiritual Adoption Program is a commit- ment to pray for an individual unborn child for nine months. Not all babies make it to birth. Many parents tragically experience the loss of a child to miscarriage or premature birth. And more than 3,000 babies lose their lives to abortion each day. These are the babies you are being asked to “adopt” simply by praying for him or her each day. It is suggested that you name the child for whom you will be praying, which will remind you that, although you may never meet the child in this life, you truly are praying for a specific child who needs your pray- ers.
You may “adopt” a child individually or as a family by signing up during Masses this weekend. Prayer pledges will be collected during Mass, and there will be a prayer card for you to take home. Watch the bulletin as well as the narthex for monthly reports describing “your baby’s” development. In the fall we will celebrate the “births” of our spiritually adopted babies by collecting baby items which will be given to mothers in need of assistance.
Adoration for Life Sunday, January 26 12:45-5 PM in the Chapel Help promote a Culture of Life by pray- ing for the protection of the unborn in the presence of Our Eucharistic Lord. It’s a great opportunity to make a spe- cial Holy Hour for the unborn babies you spiritually “adopt” this weekend! Sign up at bit.ly/202001AdorationForLife
Parish Office Closed Monday, January 20 In observance of the National Holiday, the Parish Office will be closed. Daily Mass will be offered as usual at 12:15 PM.
