"Happy Holidays" is a greeting one begins to hear before Thanksgiving and it is meant to include Christmas and all the days leading up to it.
For some this year, the greeting has a hollow ring, because we have, mistakenly begin to connect happiness with money, and the source of that is gone, or disappearing rapidly.
Our challenge is not to admonish the poor to find happiness in their poverty. Our challenge is to ourselves to release the tight grasp we have on the money "that we claim is ours" and in justice share it with the poor.
As true followers and lovers of Jesus, we will find a way to share in Jesus' poverty. St. Paul tells the Corinthians:
Jesus Christ became poor although he was
rich, so that by his poverty you might become rich.
CORINTHIANS 8:9
This is all for our own happiness so that on that final "Day of Unity," our "Happy Holidays" will continue into eternal bliss with Jesus and all the angels and saints.

+ Proclaiming the Gospel + Working for Justice + Empowering the Laity
We want to minister to the culturally diverse Catholic population of this country, proclaiming Jesus Christ through evangelization, education and/or Christian formation. We would like to offer a solid Catholic teaching and ministries that speak to the needs of the faith communities, empowering the Laity, dedicating our prayer and ministry to the proclamation of God's Kingdom.
That is why we have become part of a network of religious communities collaborating to assist home mission dioceses in their efforts to develop lay leadership and ministry. This is an initiative of the Home Missions Leadership Conference and the Congar Institute for Ministry Development. READ MORE
