Please Pray for Our Diaconate Candidates

As one of 18 Candidates for the Permanent Diaconate in the Diocese of Raleigh I humbly request that Saint Mary’s parishioners keep these men (listed below), their wives and their families in your prayers that we may have the fortitude to contin-ue, the wisdom to understand and the docility to do God’s will. All of us are in the 3rd year of a five-year program, of which prayer is central.

I ask you to keep their wives and families in your prayers as well, as any man fol-lowing a call to the Diaconate needs the support of their wives and family and must strike a balance between their regular jobs, their marriage and family life and our service to the church as Deacons should we be blessed to be ordained at the end of the 5 years.

Saint Mary Roman Catholic Church 3 Goldsboro, N. C.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION "Ordinary Time" began for us this week. On the old calendar, the feast of the Presentation, still more than two weeks away, was the last day of the Christmas season. Sadly, Bethlehem is hardly a place of peace on earth these days. The ancient Christian communi-ty has been largely uprooted by politi-cal strife. The Church of the Nativity stands (barely) in remarkable disrepair and disorder in Manger Square. The roof is crumbling, the major doorways are blocked, the wiring is faulty, and the worship life is disrupted by quar-rels among Eastern Christians. The church was founded by the Em-peror Constantine in 325, destroyed in a Samaritan revolt in 539, and rebuilt by the Emperor Justinian. When the area came under Muslim control in 638, the holiness of the church was respected, and in return Christians allowed Muslims to pray in the south aisle, a right still upheld. Earlier in that century, invading Persians were ordered to destroy all churches, but when they saw the magi carved over the doorway of the Church of the Na-tivity, they spared it out of respect for their ancestors who bore gold, frankin-cense, and myrrh to the same city. The Crusaders restored and redecorated the church by the twelfth century, and it is their plan that survives. Down a few stone steps is a stone grotto with a silver star marking the place of Christ's birth: when the star was stolen in 1847 it triggered an international crisis that exploded into the Crimean War. Since 1852, the church has been shared by the Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, and Armenian Churches. The Greeks are in charge of the grotto, but don't enjoy the best of friendships with the Armenians. Catholics have the care of the Chapel of the Manger, and avoid the squabbles by a separate entrance to the Franciscan monastery church of St. Catherine. Pray for peace in Bethlehem! --Rev.

Prayer For Babies in Their Mothers’ Wombs

O God of all creation, Nurture and protect tiny children and keep them safe in the sanctuary of their mother’s womb. As You so wondrously form their hearts and minds and lungs and souls, so strengthen our will to lovingly nur-ture and protect them. Give us the eyes to see them as our brothers and sisters, the minds to wel-come them as our own, and the faith to defend them as Your children. We ask this through the intercession of Mary, our Blessed Mother, and the mother of all the little ones, through Christ, Your Son, our Lord. Amen.

TRADICIONES DE NUES-TRA FE Según una vieja costumbre latina, no se les debe llamar por nombre a los niños mientras todavía están en el vientre de su madre. Mis padres siem-pre me hablaban por nombre durante el embarazo de mi mamá. Esto por supuesto molestaba a mi abuelita quien decía que si me iban a hablar por nombre sería mejor llamarme Ti-burcio. La gran sorpresa de mis padres fue que nací el día de san Tiburcio. Gracias a Dios mis padres no eran tradicionalitas, sino tuviera que pasar mi vida con ese nombre. Muchos latinoamericanos todavía siguen la tradición del onomástico; de dar a su hijo o hija el nombre del santo o de la santa en cuyo día nació. Esta costumbre se hace con doble inten-ción: 1) para implorar la protección del santo sobre el recién nacido y 2) para que el niño o la niña tenga un buen ejemplo como modelo para su vida. Esta última razón implica tener que conocer e imitar al santo o a la santa. Si tu hijo nace el 16 de enero puedes nombrarlo: Fulgencio, Acursio, Adiu-to, Frisio y Tolomeo. O si es niña, Priscila o el femenino de los previos. --Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. CADENAS DE GRACIA Las cadenas de gracia son fuertes y tan dulces, que aunque atraen nuestro corazón, ellas no encadenan nuestras libertades. --San Francisco de Sales
