Scroll down to read about ... DECEMBER HOLY NAME SPIRE    “A key factor to success in anything is preparation. Gold medals are won in the Olympics only after long preparation. Christmas is something more profound than exchange in which God became man so that men might become the sons of God. Our personal preparation for Christmas calls for more intense prayer and acts of self denial to curb our selfishness. We help others prepare for Christmas by our kindness and acceptance of them. We help the poor by sharing our material blessings with them. Use Advent well.” The above article is a re-print from a “SPIRE” written years ago by one of our former Spiritual Directors.
