Merry Christmas from ClearysNoteBook

"Among the many gifts that we buy and receive, let us not forget the true gift: To give each other something of ourselves, to give each other something of our time, to open our time to God. In this way Anxiety disappears, Joy is born, and the Feast is created.

During the festive meals of these days, let us remember the Lord's words:  "When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite those who will invite you in return, but invite those whom no one invited and who are able to invite you. Luke 14:12-14. Also this means: when you give gifts for Christmas, do not give only to those who will give to you in return, but give to those who receive from no one and who cannot give you anything back."  (An excerpt from the Christmas Midnight Mass Homily, given by Pope Benedict XVI December 2006)

May the Lord's blessings be with you on Christmas and always….

Thank you for your support and loyalty over the past year.....

from all of us at ClearysNotebook!

Sincerely,

Bill & Connie Cleary, ....
