A welcome for the wayfarer has long been a part of the Irish Christmas tradition, particularly on Christmas Eve when a candle in the window, bid traveller to reset from their journey, the belief that in welcoming the wayfarer, we are welcoming the wandering Joseph and Mary with the child Jesus.
Poet : Maire Mac an Tsaoi: Captured the idea beautifully in her poem “Oiche Nollag”
With candle of angels the sky in now dappled,
the frost on the wind from the hills has a bite,
Kindle your fire and go to your slumber
Jesus will lie in this household to-night.
Leave all the doors wide open before her
The Virgin will come with the child on her breast
Grant that you’ll stop here to-night Holy Mary
that Jesus to-night in this household may rest.
The lights are all lighting in that little hostel
there were generous servings of vituals and wine
From merchants of sick, from merchants of woollens
But Jesus will lie in this household to-night.

What must we do? That was the question that was posed to John two thousand years ago. It is still a valid question today. If we are getting ready to meet an important guest who comes to see us, we might well ask to know what we should do, how we should behave.
John answers the people by telling them simply to do their best, to behave as people should to each other. In order to meet this important guest, we should simply keep going, doing what we do well already, and leaving behind any type of action that is not worthy of our humanity. We prepare to meet the Lord by being good parents and friends, by working well at our jobs, by being honest and upright in our dealings.
Here are some phrases from today’s readings that we can pray with in the week ahead:
¨ “May that peace of God, which is so much greater that we can understand, guard our hearts and our thoughts, in Christ Jesus”.
¨ “The Spirit of the Lord has been given to me; he has sent me to bring the good news to the poor”.

What must we do? That was the question that was posed to John two thousand years ago. It is still a valid question today. If we are getting ready to meet an important guest who comes to see us, we might well ask to know what we should do, how we should behave.
John answers the people by telling them simply to do their best, to behave as people should to each other. In order to meet this important guest, we should simply keep going, doing what we do well already, and leaving behind any type of action that is not worthy of our humanity. We prepare to meet the Lord by being good parents and friends, by working well at our jobs, by being honest and upright in our dealings.
Here are some phrases from today’s readings that we can pray with in the week ahead:
¨ “May that peace of God, which is so much greater that we can understand, guard our hearts and our thoughts, in Christ Jesus”.
¨ “The Spirit of the Lord has been given to me; he has sent me to bring the good news to the poor”.

“Prepare a way for the Lord”
“Prepare a way” cries John the Baptist. In these days of Advent, we are called to prepare for the coming of Jesus. John says we must build a road to allow the Lord to come straight. The road we prepare is a road to our hearts. Here we can offer this loving guest, our Lord, a direct way into our lives.
Below are some phrases taken from today’s readings that we can pray with each day in the week ahead: -
¨ “Put on the beauty of the glory of God for
ever, wrap the cloak of integrity around you”
¨ “Prepare a way for the Lord, make straight a
path. And all will see the salvation of God”.
¨ “God will guide us in joy by the light of his
glory, with his mercy and integrity for escort”.
¨ “What marvels the Lord has worked for us!
Indeed we are glad”.
¨ “Come Lord Jesus”.

and when we live from his truth,
we are not far from the Kingdom of God.

Recommendations re
current HSE guidance for
Churches on Swine Flu:
In this present state of H1N1 influenza spread, the HSE advices that
¨ Receiving Holy Communion on the tongue should be
discouraged.
¨ That the chalice should not be shared (i.e. even with
Eucharistic Ministers).
“From the little she had, she has put in everything she possessed, all she had to live on”.
There are different ways of giving, as we are reminded of in today’s readings.
There is the example of the scribes, which is condemned by Jesus.
Their giving is done to attract attention so that they will be noticed and praised by others.
But there is another kind of giving. We see this in the story of the widow in the first reading, who from the goodness of her heart shares her last piece of bread with the prophet. We see it in the Gospel, where the widow humbly offers all she has.
This is the kind of giving that the Lord invited us to: where we give from the heart out of love and generosity.

Recommendations re
current HSE guidance for
Churches on Swine Flu:
In this present state of H1N1 influenza spread, the HSE advices that
¨ Receiving Holy Communion on the tongue should be
discouraged.
¨ That the chalice should not be shared (i.e. even with
Eucharistic Ministers).
“From the little she had, she has put in everything she possessed, all she had to live on”.
There are different ways of giving, as we are reminded of in today’s readings.
There is the example of the scribes, which is condemned by Jesus.
Their giving is done to attract attention so that they will be noticed and praised by others.
But there is another kind of giving. We see this in the story of the widow in the first reading, who from the goodness of her heart shares her last piece of bread with the prophet. We see it in the Gospel, where the widow humbly offers all she has.
This is the kind of giving that the Lord invited us to: where we give from the heart out of love and generosity.

WE REMEMBER THEM
At the rising of the sun, and it’s going down,
We remember them.
At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer,
We remember them.
At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn,
We remember them.
At the blowing of the wind and the chill of winter,
We remember them.
When we lift our hearts to God in prayer,
We remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live,
for they are always part of us
As we remember them.

The Blind man said to Jesus:
“Master, let me see again”.
“The poor, are not there just to receive our charity:
They are sources of life and truth, peacemakers.
This, then, is the great secret of Jesus, hidden in the Gospels.
Many people see them as a sign of death, source of despair;
A problem, a burden, people to be pushed aside, perhaps, eliminated,
Forced to change their ways.
Jesus shows us that the poor can transform our hearts, fill us with light and compassion, if we are willing to accept to meet them and live in communion with them”.
