December 7, 2014 With Blessed Father Alberione and With Father Tom

Saturday, December 7

SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT
FIRST SUNDAY OF THE MONTH--THE DIVINE MASTER, WAY, TRUTH AND LIFE
SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT 
Is 40: 1-11
Ps 85: 9-14
2 Pt 3: 8-14
Mk 1: 1-8

The manger scene will always be amazement and revolution in the world, because it is a condemnation of its thought and life, institution of other doctrines, of another life and of another power (FSP 29, pp. 51-52).

From Father Tom:  An interesting point here is that the word "manger" is similar to the Italian word "mangiare" which means "to eat." In this unique manger lay the little boy who would one day declare that He is "the Bread of Life."

Please Pray for Our Deceased: Sr. Maria Verdone FSP (1971)--Sr. M. Ingenia Licausi PD (1983)--Pasqualiina La Rizza HFI (2004)--Frank Mahoney & Ella Schenzinger (no year)
