Dear Friends
Only three weeks to Christmas. For the past three decades at this time of the year I've had English classes of one sort or another....and I used to make a point to using Christmas material for most of December
This year no English class. I stopped English teaching at the start of this year in order to give more time to visiting prisons
Maybe
not having English classes, Christmas English classes, is the reason I'm finding
it hard to believe Christmas is just around the corner.
Church's Sunday readings not much of a help....no real mention of Christmas
until Fourth Sunday of Advent (Dec 23 this year). More about this on file to be
linked on tomorrow's menu
Anyhow....let's make an effort to prepare for Christmas as well as we can by a bit more prayer and a bit more service of the poor. On the prayer side: Pope Paul VI once said that Advent is the best time of the year to remember Mary in our prayers. On the poor side: Christmas is traditionally a time of generosity to the poor. I'm looking forward to my annual practice of some sort of Christmas day gathering/meal with the poor

Today's
editorial in Ming Pao is entitled
Is CKB168 a Pyramid Selling Scheme?
It can be accessed, together with my recording, at

On this
5th of the month,
Jesus please bless
the people of Guizhou
(Please join me in praying for one
part of China each day of the month)
My Bible Plan for today = Please join me in using these readings to put oil in our prayer lamps
Thank you for a prayer
God bless!
