CHRISTMAS WISH FROM HOPE FOR ALL
This
prayer brings to mind all of our HOPE FAMILY
We quietly go about our works of love. Just as the sheperda watch over their flocks. Just as each order we fill is done with
love. In honor of HIM above and his
forgotten children.
The linens, shoes, and household items are gathered to make
that house a home. Hearts are filled
with joy as the toys are added.
He is wrapped by the love, devotion and faith of each of
you. The angels sing in rejoice for his
birth and each household that is touched.
As the Wise Men came to pay him homage, so too does our HOPE
truck pull in front of a home bringing with it the HOPE personnel delivering
what must seem like gold, frankincense and myrrh.
The worry about riches , wealth, power and status are
missing. The bright star and the angels
voices proclaim the Good News of Christ Our Lord ; “Do this for the least of my
brethen”.
A very Holy, Blessed and Healthy Christmas to all and your loved
ones. Thanks to each of you in bringing
his joy to all we serve.

My Sisters and Brothers;
Christmas is the season during which the whole church celebrates the theme that is most central to our Christian theology and faith: God’s incarnation: “God is present in us and in the world, working for our healing and growth, our direction and our comfort, our reconciliation and our redemption.”
This is the fundamental Christmas message to us in this age as it was to the preceding ages. At Christmas we hold true to the faith that genuine hope, and new life, are breathed into our lives so we may start afresh. We are once again called to believe in God who first and foremost believed in us; enough to risk his son Jesus to be born as one of us, as the perfect and wholesome gift to all humanity! It is this gift that began the well-known and much advertised tradition of gift giving.
Furthermore, the message of Christmas is one of peace and goodwill to all. It is no secret that we face many threats and challenges daily, enough to cause the best and most resilient to question God’s presence. The Christmas message collapses all those anxieties and fears, transforming them into optimistic and hope-filled expressions of a better tomorrow.
Let us summon our resolve to be confident in the power of God to change the world through his Son born in Bethlehem’s stable. The light of the world is here for all to see, worship and embrace. In the comforting words of the angels to the shepherds, “Do not be afraid; for see I am bringing you good news of great joy for all people: to you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord…”.
A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to our CACINA family .
Your brother in In Christ,
The Most Rev. Anthony Santore Presiding Bishop - CACINA

REQUEST TO WEAR MASKS INDOOR/ IN PERSON EVENTS
Due to the recent increases in Anne
Arundel Co. We are requesting that
everyone wear a mask indoors per the A.A. County recommendations. See below.
THANK YOU
Department of Health
Strongly Advises Businesses and Public to Wear Face Masks Indoors
ANNAPOLIS, MD, December 20, 2021 — Due to a sustained increase in
COVID-19 hospitalizations and outbreaks, the Anne Arundel County Department of
Health strongly advises that all people 2 years and older should wear a mask in
indoor public areas and outdoors in crowded areas where distancing is not
possible. All businesses should require that staff and customers wear masks in
indoor and outdoor settings with the exception of activities that cannot take
place while masked. Masks should be well fitting and cover the nose and
mouth.
Over the past three weeks, COVID-19 hospitalizations
at the two county hospitals, Anne Arundel Medical Center and Baltimore
Washington Medical Center, have more than doubled to approximately 95 people
and the number continues to rise. This has put extreme stress on our hospital
systems and health care professionals and will lead to changes in service as
outlined by the Governor’s order last week.
Over the past two weeks, outbreaks across all
settings in the county have increased by over two-thirds to over 80. Outbreaks
are recorded in settings like schools, nursing homes, child care facilities,
assisted living and other similar settings.

ADVENT POEM BY THE IRISH POET PATRICK KAVANAGH
Irish
poet Patrick Kavanagh’s reflection on the beauty of Advent
We
have tested and tasted too much, lover-
Through a chink too wide there comes in no wonder.
But here in the Advent-darkened room
Where the dry black bread and the sugarless tea
Of penance will charm back the luxury
Of a child's soul, we'll return to Doom
The knowledge we stole but could not use.
And the newness that was in every stale thing
When we looked at it as children: the spirit-shocking
Wonder in a black slanting Ulster hill
Or the prophetic astonishment in the tedious talking
Of an old fool will awake for us and bring
You and me to the yard gate to watch the whins
And the bog-holes, cart-tracks, old stables where Time begins.
O after Christmas we'll have no need to go searching
For the difference that sets an old phrase burning-
We'll hear it in the whispered argument of a churning
Or in the streets where the village boys are lurching.
And we'll hear it among decent men too
Who barrow dung in gardens under trees,
Wherever life pours ordinary plenty.
Won't we be rich, my love and I, and
God we shall not ask for reason's payment,
The why of heart-breaking strangeness in dreeping hedges
Nor analyse God's breath in common statement.
We have thrown into the dust-bin the clay-minted wages
Of pleasure, knowledge and the conscious hour-
And Christ comes with a January flower.

ADVENT BOOKLETS HAVE ARRIVED
Our Advent Booklet for 2021 has arrived . The title of the book is; "Awaken to New Light" . We will have them in church this coming Sunday for you to pick up and use during the Advent Season which starts on Sunday November 28th. In this posting we have included a sample from the booklet (See below).
Advent on the Inside Are you ready for this? Are you ready for the promise fulfilled and the possibility realized? Ready for anticipation, excitement, and gobsmacking, joy-filled amazement? Are you ready to lace up your sandals, grip your walking stick, and journey down the dusty road that leads to the love you believe in? This changes everything. At least it ought to. But before Christmas can truly change the world around us, we must first let it change the world within us. Advent calls us to prepare our hearts and minds, our muscles and bones, and our moods and attitudes so incarnation can seep through our neurons and soak into our marrow. The journey ahead awakens us to new light. Are we ready to turn our lives toward this brilliant sun? Are we ready to encounter the radiant Creator not only around us and among us, but also within us? Christ seeks to enter the world by first coming to life inside us. We know this, of course, but are we ready to let it happen? If so, let’s go…
HOPE FOR ALL DONATIONS NEEDED
We have posted a list from HOPE FOR ALL of an Amazon "Wish List". In addition to that list we are also providing information about some very specific items that they are also requesting that appeared in their recent News Letter. Perhaps you may want to consider donating some socks or other items listed here. We will be accepting these donations thru November 28th.
