shhhhh! By Diogenes
Each year the Christmas holiday season brings in a fresh new
crop of legal cases, in which government officials forbid the
display of religious symbols, performance of religious hymns,
and so forth. Each year these test cases are a bit more ridiculous,
and 2006 promises another bumper crop on absurdity. Credit the
city of Chicago with the silliest decision in the beforeDecember-begins category, and this one is going to be tough to
beat. Sponsors of a Christmas holiday festival have decided not
to allow New Line Cinema to display a trailer from the new film,
The Nativity Story, because it might be offensive to nonChristian patrons of the festival.
-3-
GOSHEN, NEW YORK
That festival, by the way, is a traditional German observance
known as the Christkindlmarket. (Christuskind means Christ
Child)It's OK to say it, apparently, if you use a foreign language.
Don't spread it around, but it the people who might get offended
must not be very b_r_i_g_h_t.
Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord.
Of course you would not know it by the stores, TV, radio but
we are only beginning the season of Advent. Actually the first
two weeks of Advent have to do with the SECOND COMING
of Christ. We profess the Faith received from the Apostles that
Jesus will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead at
a time known only to God the Father.
Hence the priest puts on purple vestments and the readings from
Scripture tell us: Be on guard. Be ready at all times to meet the
Lord. In the Eastern churches and in the history of the Latin
Church Advent took on a penitential character a “little Lent” if
you will. Of course the root-meaning of penance is a greater
conversion, a greater turning to the Lord in our lives.
The last two weeks of Advent focus more on the FIRST
COMING of Christ in Bethlehem. Practically the Church calls
us to more intense prayer, mediation on the Scriptures about the
Second Coming and the prophecies about the Messiah in the
prophet Isaiah. It calls us to more intense works of mercy, selfsacrifice for the Lord, and the confession of our sins not just
generally in the penitential rite of the Mass but also in the
Sacrament of Confession.
Other ways to prepare for the Lord during Advent are: GET
AN ADVENT WREATH. This is a flat wreath into which are
inserted four candles each representing a week of Advent. Light
the candle at the supper table and pray together as a family.
MAKE A JESSE TREE. This is a tree from which you hang
ornaments remember Jesus’ roots in the Israel. You could hang
an Ark, Jacob’s ladder, David’s harp and so forth.
COUNT DOWN TO CHRISTMAS WITH AN ADVENT
CALENDAR. You can buy Advent calendars on line or in a
religious store and each day you open a door on the calendar
which reveals a biblical scene.
For example
www.strictlychristmas.com
DISCOVER THE REAL SANTA CLAUS. The real Santa
Claus is of course St. Nicholas of Myra whose feast day is on
December 6. This is a day in many countries on which gifts are
shared and candy is distributed. This is to imitate the charity of
St. Nicholas who tradition tells us gave to the needy in secret
hence you get the legend about St. Nicholas coming down
chimneys unseen by those to whom he will give gifts.
SAY MERRY CHRISTMAS. Christ is the reason for the
season. We ought not to be ashamed of Him and we should
proclaim this feast day proudly.
SEND A CHRISTMAS CARD TO THE ACLU. Every year
the anti-Christian American Civil Liberties Union sends out its
anti-Christmas crèche squad to start law suits. Remind them
respectfully and with charity of the reason for the season and
that the First Amendment to the Constitution guarantees freedom
of religion not freedom from religion. Mail it to: ACLU, 125
Broad St. 18th floor, New York 10004.
