In a few days we shall be celebrating joyfully the Nativity of Jesus. Until that day, we all have different programs and parties. Members of our Priory will attend and participate in different Christmas gatherings. On December 18, our community joins the religious men in Macau for a fraternal party at the Jesuits’ Retreat House in Coloane. On December 19, we shall celebrate Christmas at noontime with Mass, agape and Christmas Carols with professors and students of the University of Saint Joseph at the St. Joseph Seminary, Macau. On the same day, we shall also join our brothers working at St. Paul School for their Mass in the morning with program, and banquet in the evening. Just before Christmas, the members of our St. Dominic’s Priory will gather together in our community room to greet Marry Christmas to our Prior and enjoy each other’s company. We shall celebrate the Nativity of Jesus at midnight Mass to be followed by a fraternal agape to be shared by all.
The staff of our web page is grateful to the many people who encourage us and those who help us in different ways. The staff is particularly grateful to Brother Lawrence The Reh, OP, who is always there to enter competently the different items, news and illustrations.
We greet our dear readers and friends of this modest page wishing you all A BLESSED CHRISTMAS. We read in the Catechism of the Catholic Church: “Only when Jesus is formed in us will the Mystery of Christmas be fulfilled in us†(CCC 526).
May Jesus continue to grow in our hearts and families and communities! And may those around us notice it by the way we treat them with kindness and compassion.
May Our Lady, the Mother of Jesus and our Mother bless us!
