Gospel Lk. 1:26-38

The angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary. And coming to her, he said, “Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you.” But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

The line to see Jesus

I returned to T&T last weekend feeling a bit sad that so many of those whom I met while I was away, wished me “Happy Holidays” when we parted. However, my heart was lifted when, on my return, I opened an e-mail from Maureen Arneaud and accessed a YouTube link to the song: Where is the line to see Jesus written by Steve Haupt and sung by his daughter, Becky Kelley.

The inspiration for the song is worth noting. When Haupt’s grandson, Spencer Reijgers, was four years old, he was taken to a mall in the USA to see Santa. While standing in line, he tugged at his mother’s sweater and asked: “Where is the line to see Jesus?” When the song was released last December, it was an instant hit.

Gospel Jn 1:6-8, 19-28

A man named John was sent from God. He came for testimony, to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to testify to the light. And this is the testimony of John. When the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to him to ask him, “Who are you?” He admitted and did not deny it, but admitted, “I am not the Christ.”

by Mike James, member of the CCSJ

“At this time, there are too many scandals and injustices, too much corruption and greed, too many errors and lies, too much violence which leads to misery and to death.”

“Every people wishes to understand the political and economic choices which are made in its name. They perceive manipulation and their revenge is sometimes violent.”

“Do not deprive your peoples of hope! Do not cut them off from their future by mutilating their present!”
