You can register for the courses after the program.

The Grief Recovery Method®: Helping Children with Loss Program (For Parents and Guardians of Grieving Children) is a four-week program for adults who want to help their children and grandchildren deal with loss and grief. It begins January 11 at 7:15 in The Commons.

NEW CARENOTES IN THE COMMONS

There are new CareNotes in the Commons about holidays and grief. We often use one of these as a starting point

for our grief sharing at The Compassionate Cafe. Take one for yourself or for a friend. There’s “Ten Ways to Honor a Loved One at Christmas”,

“Grieving at Christmas: A Family Guide”, and “Your First Christmas

After a Loved One Dies”. In a few pages these helpful notes will give

you hope and inspiration during the holidays.

LADIES BIBLE STUDY VIA ZOOM

Jade Sheri Howard started hosting a weekly ladies bible study via Zoom. Last week she had great participation with ladies from three countries who she invited from her catholic Facebook groups. It will be every Wednesday at 7:30 pm via Zoom. We will focus on the gospel reading for the following Sunday. She will be using Lectio Divina of the Gospels published by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops as a guide. You don’t need the book to participate, but it has some great contemplation questions that may enhance the experience. All are welcome!

SUNDAY CONNECTION

The visit of the Magi occurs directly before the story of the Holy Family’s flight into Egypt. Matthew’s Gospel tells a version of Jesus’ birth that is different than the one in Luke. Of the actual birth of Jesus, Matthew tells us little more than, “When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod . . . ” The story of the census is found only in Luke’s Gospel, but we hear about the visit of the Magi only in Matthew’s Gospel.

We know little about the Magi. They come from the East and journey to Bethlehem, following an astrological sign, so we believe them to be astrologers. We assume that there were three Magi based upon the naming of their three gifts. The Gospel does not say how many Magi paid homage to Jesus. In Matthew’s Gospel, they represent the Gentiles’ search for a savior. Because the Magi represent the entire world, they also represent our search for Jesus.

We have come to consider the gifts they bring as a foreshadowing of Jesus’ role in salvation. We believe the meaning of the gifts to be

Christological. Gold is presented as

representative of Jesus’ kingship. Frankincense is a symbol of his divinity because priests burned the substance in the Temple. Myrrh, which was used to prepare the dead for burial, is offered in anticipation of Jesus’ death.

The word Epiphany means “manifestation” or “showing forth.” Historically several moments in Christ’s early life and ministry have been celebrated as “epiphanies,” including his birth in Bethlehem, the visit of the Magi, his baptism by John, and his first miracle at Cana.
