The Christmas <strong>St</strong>oryAccording to <strong>St</strong>. LukeIn those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole worldshould be enrolled. This was the first enrollment, when Quirinius wasgovernor of Syria. So all went to be enrolled, each to his own town.And Joseph, too, went up from Galilee from the town ofNazareth to Judea, to the city of David that is calledBethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.While they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gavebirth to her first born son. She wrapped Him in swaddling clothes and laidHim in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields andkeeping the night watch over their flock. The angel said to them, “Donot be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joythat will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a saviorhas been born for you who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a signfor you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes andlying in a manger.”And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with theangel, praising God and saying:“Glory to God in the highest,and on earth Peace to those on whom His favor rests.”JOYLOVEHOPEREVERENCEFORGIVENESSPEACE JUSTICEFrom Father Brianand the <strong>St</strong>aff of<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Anthony</strong> <strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>Church</strong>LindaMichelleMichaelFaithSharonMikeIn theBeginningwas the Wordand the Wordwas with God,and the Wordwas God.
