MerryChristmasfromtheSt.IgnatiusStaff
In Advent, our tradition exhorts us to stop and take inventory,
and look in the direction we are headed. The language of Advent
is of hopefulness, watchfulness, wakefulness, and preparedness.
It is one way to practice becoming aware of Christ’s presence
already in our lives — in those that we come in contact with, and
within the mundane day to day experiences, that we see the light.
When we live in watchfulness, looking for Jesus in all things, we
are filled with his Spirit and Light.
We hope you will join us for the days that follow Christmas,
when we can joyously celebrate His Spirit and Light among us.
Our prayer is increased by your presence. May the coming of
“Emmanuel” — “God with us”— fill you with hope this season.
All of us here at St. Ignatius wish you and your families a joyous
Christmas Season and a Happy New Year.

BookDiscussion
On Sunday, January 10, there will be a discussion of the book
How’s Your Faith? An Unlikely Spiritual Journey by David Gregory. In this book, former newsman and Meet the Press moderator David Gregory probes various religious traditions to better
understand his own faith and answer life’s most important questions: who do we want to be and what do we believe? The author
approaches his faith with the curiosity and dedication expected
of a journalist accustomed to holding politicians and presidents
accountable, but he also comes as a seeker who discovers why
spiritual journeys are always worthwhile. Please join the discussion of this book on January 10 at 11:15 in the Parish Office.
OutreachMinistries

ChristmasSeason,Scripture
How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of him who brings glad tidings,
announcing peace, bearing good news,
announcing salvation, and saying to Zion,
“Your God is King!”
And the Word became flesh
and made his dwelling among us,
and we saw his glory,
the glory as of the Father’s only Son,
full of grace and truth.
Reflection
The Christmas Season invites us to reflect deeply on the mystery
of the Incarnation; God’s dwelling with us in human flesh and
blood in Jesus Christ. God chooses to share our lives and our
loves. God enters into the chaos of everyday life to bring us comfort and joy.
TheLifeofIgnatius
Ignatius had intended to continue his pilgrimage to Jerusalem
but was impeded from doing so because there were no boats
sailing from Barcelona because of a plague. He went to Manresa,
not very far from Montserrat where he spent the next year. It was
during that time that he had powerful spiritual experiences,
which he wrote down in his Spiritual Exercises. QuestionforReflection
Early on in the second week of the Exercises he focuses on the
Mystery of the Incarnation with mediations of the stories of the
birth of Jesus. How does the mystery of the incarnation, God
with us in Jesus Christ, affect the way you view the world? Can
you seek and find God “in all things” as Ignatius did?
VideoReflection
Fr. Bob has choreographed many versions of the stories of the
birth of Jesus. The last iteration of A Dancer’s Christmas has a
beautiful piece in the Incarnation which uses the image of a labyrinth. You can view this work of choreography on the blde.org
website. Go to Repertory, Christmas A Dancer’s Christmas Final Performance. The music is Ralph Vaughan Williams’ The
Lark Ascending
Seeking Housing for Westminster Choir
The world-renowned Westminster Choir of Princeton, New Jersey will be performing at St. Ignatius on January 8, 2016 as part
of their winter tour. You will not want to miss it!
If you are able and interested in hosting any of the students on
January 7, please contact Timothy Zimmerman zimmerta@bc.edu, 617-552-6114. Thank you, in advance.

LaNavidad4,Escritura
¡Qué hermoso es ver correr sobre los montes
al mensajero que anuncia la paz,
al mensajero que trae la buena nueva,
que pregona la salvación,
que dice a Sión: “Tu Dios es rey”!
Y aquel que es la Palabra se hizo hombre
y habitó entre nosotros.
Hemos visto su gloria,
gloria que le corresponde como a unigénito del Padre,
lleno de gracia y de verdad.
Reflexión
La temporada Navideña nos invita a reflexionar profundamente
en el misterio de la Encarnación. Dios elige hacer su morada con
nosotros en el carne y la sangre de Jesucristo. Dios elige compartir nuestras vidas y nuestros amores. Dios entra en el caos de la
vida cotidiana para que nos llevara la consolación y la alegría.
LaVidaIgnaciana
Ignacio había pensado a seguir su peregrinación a Jerusalén pero
una plaga en Barcelona lo impidió. Fue a Manresa, una aldea
cerca de Montserrat donde pasó el próximo año. Durante este
tiempo tenía unas experiencias espirituales muy poderosas que
describió en los Ejercicios Espirituales.
Preguntaparareflexión
En la segunda semana de los Ejercicios Ignacio enfoca en el misterio de la Encarnación con algunas meditaciones sobre el nacimiento de Jesús.
¿Cómo es que este misterio, Dios con nosotros en Jesucristo
afecta la manera por la cual miras al mundo? ¿Puedes buscar y
encontrar a Dios en todas cosas?
ReflexiónenVideo
Padre Bob ha coreografiado muchas versiones de la historia del
nacimiento do Jesús. En su espectáculo, “A Dancer’s Christmas”hay una hermosa pieza sobre la Encarnación que usa la
imagen de un laberinto. Se puede ver esta pieza en el sitio de web
blde.org en la sección : repertory/ Christmas/ A Dancer’s
Christmas / Final performance.

Fr.BobLegacyCampaign
Several weeks ago, members of the Finance Council and Fr. Bob
informed parishioners of the Legacy Campaign that has been
established to honor his 27 years as pastor and address the needs
and areas of greatest importance to him here at St. Ignatius: ! repair of the buttress on the Commonwealth Avenue side of
the church
! a fund that continues to support the arts in worship at St.
Ignatius
! a fund that supports the parish retreats at Eastern Point
! a fund that provides ongoing support for St. Anne’s Parish
in Kingston, Jamaica
A big "Thank You" for supporting the Bake Sale and Holiday
Spoons Project last Sunday. The Family Arts Based Middle
School Program middle school members raised $556.64 for
Catholic Charities Refugee Resettlement Program and $212 for
Project Breads' Holiday Spoons, which will be matched 100%.
Thank you to all of our middle school parishioners for their efforts to spread joy, love, and kindness!
Fr. Bob has touched the lives of thousands of people in his nearly
three decades here. We are grateful for his insightful, spiritual
leadership, and stewardship of our beloved parish and hope that
you will join this effort and consider a gift in honor of Fr. Bob.
First Reconciliation Catechesis Events - Children preparing to
receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation in March 2016 are required to attend one of two catechesis events scheduled on Saturday, January 23rd, or Saturday, January 30th, from 1-3 in the
Lannon Chapel. A parent and their child are required to participate. The session date is determined by the child's First Eucharist date which is either chosen by the family or assigned if you
have not given us a preferred date. Please be on the watch for an
email about this after the first of the year.
Any amount is welcome, but we have established the Ignatius
($25,000), Xavier ($10,000) and Arrupe ($5,000) levels. Checks
should be made to St. Ignatius Church with Fr. Bob Legacy Campaign noted in the memo field. We want to get the word out as
much as possible to reach the goal.
No Middle School or Confirmation Classes on January 10th –
Due to Christmas break we will be cancelling Middle School and
Confirmation Faith Formation on Sunday January 10th. We will
resume our normal schedule Sunday January 24th after Martin
Luther King weekend. For any questions or concerns contact
Anabella Morabito at 617-552-6103, morabian@bc.edu.
St.IgnatiusPledgeProgram
Thank you to the many members of the parish who have responded to the pledge letter from Father Bob, either by signing
up or giving us changes in your information.
For those who haven’t yet had a chance to respond, you can still
send in the card or can call Kyle Crosby at 617-552-6119. We are
best able to plan for and use the resources you’ve entrusted to us,
through the Annual Support Program. The more people participate, the better we can plan and budget. As always, we are so
grateful for your support.
To date, approximately $300,000 has been pledged toward our
$1,000,000 goal for the Legacy Fund. Fr. Bob has been so
touched by the outpouring of love and support shown to him.
More details will be forthcoming, but mark April 30, 2016 on
your calendar for the parish wide celebration to say our goodbyes.
