Behold, a Virgin shall conceive and

bear a son; and his name will be called

Emmanuel.

“No human mind could have invented the

triune God. No human mind could have

conceived a God who is love and who loves

us as if we were gods. No human mind,

unaided by angels, could have dreamt up

Christmas. Christmas makes us different,

sets us apart. Christmas calls us to share in

divine love – and to share that love with an

unbelieving world. If we truly celebrate

Christmas, we’ll exude joy that people will

want to share. Christmas joy is the key to

the New Evangelization. We evangelize

when we enjoy our Catholic faith – when

we enjoy celebrating our feasts. Joy is the

best argument for Catholicism – and joy is

at the heart of Christmas.”

--from “Joy to the World” by Dr. Scott Hahn, Professor

of Biblical Theology, Franciscan University, Steubenville,

Ohio

Sam and I want to express our most sincere

thanks to our Christ the King Family for the

prayers, love and support given to us during

the past 18 months. The cards, phone calls

and electronic messages were a source of

power that inspired us to shoulder the

burden during the most difficult times and

appreciate the not too difficult times.

Our most recent CT Scan and MRI

revealed no detectable cancer cells. I am

now considered to be in remission.

Whenever I reflect on the past few months,

I weep when I think of how you supported

us.

Words are not adequate to describe what

you mean to us.

Love to all,

Rufus & Sam Riggs

Mercy Mondays During Advent

This year on the Mondays of the first

three weeks of December, all of the St.

Anne friars and Fr. Noel from St.

Benedict the Moor will be available in

St. Anne Church from 7 until 8 p.m., no

appointment needed. We will be there to

listen to you and talk; it is our hope that you

will also use this time to go to confession in

preparation for Christmas.

These Mercy Mondays will take the

place of the traditional Deanery Advent

Penance Service!

We want to be available to chat a little, and

if you so wish, hear your confession. There

will also be Exposition of the Blessed

Sacrament and Benediction on Mercy

Mondays. What a perfect way to step out of

all the confusion of the Christmas

preparations and enjoy a few quiet moments

in the presence of the Lord. Hope to see you

there. Spread the word.
