Who is that partridge in a pear tree anyway?
I’m sure you have all heard the Christmas carol, “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” with its haunting melody. The carol
dates back to the 16th century and its precise author is unknown. It has generally been assumed to consist of twelve
nonsensical verses built around a pretty melody. But in a fascinating article in Our Sunday Visitor (12/20/92), Fr.
Gilhooley, a chaplain at St. Mary’s College, informs us that the carol was written by the English Jesuits of the 16th
century as a catechetical device and it is far from filled with nonsensical verses.
Keep in mind that this was a rather desperate and dreadful time in England and also in the Catholic Church as well...this
period in history found many Catholic priests risking their lives to minister to the flock and many lay Catholics likewise
risked their lives and fortunes to hear Mass and have their children baptized. Wealthy families even built hiding places,
called priests’ holes, in their homes to hide priests in case their homes were raided by the secret police.
During this tough time, “The Twelve Days of Christmas” was written to educate the faithful in the doctrines of the faith
and yet not be obvious to the persecutors. The numbers are simply a method to help Catholics remember some basic
facts. Recall the words of the song. “On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: twelve lords a leaping,
eleven pipers piping, ten ladies dancing, nine drummers drumming, eight maids a milking, seven swans a swimming, six
geese a laying, five golden rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree.”
Well...here is a brief explanation...
“The Twelve Days of Christmas” celebrates the official Christmas season which starts liturgically on Christmas Day
and ends twelve days later on the Feast of the Epiphany. “My true love” refers to God, “me” is the individual
Catholic.
The “twelve lords a leaping” are the twelve basic beliefs of the Catholic Church as outlined in the Apostles Creed.
The “eleven pipers piping” are the eleven Apostles who remained faithful after the treachery of Judas.
The “ten ladies dancing” are the Ten Commandments.
The “nine drummers drumming” are the nine choirs of angels which in those days of class distinction were thought
important.
The “eight maids a milking” are the Eight Beatitudes.
The “seven swans a swimming” are the Seven Sacraments.
The “six geese a laying” are the six days of creation.
The “five golden rings” are the first five books of the Old Testament called the Torah which are generally considered
the most sacred and important of all the Old Testament.
The “four calling birds” are the Four Gospels.
The “three French hens” are the Three Persons in God or the three gifts of the Wise Men.
The “two turtle doves” represent the two natures in Jesus: human and divine or the two Testaments, Old and New.
The “partridge” is what brings about the previous eleven...Jesus himself, and the “pear tree”...is the Cross. So now
that we know...let's all have a wonderful, holy and blessed Christmas...and a very happy, and Spirit-filled New
Year!
Blessings, Dcn. Pat Necerato
ST. SAMBROSE was of a noble family, and was governor of Milan . . 374, when a bishop was to be chosen
for that great see. As the Arian heretics were many and fierce, he was present to preserve order during the
election. Though only a catechumen, it was the will of God that he should himself be chosen by acclamation;
and, in spite of his utmost resistance, he was baptised and consecrated. He was unwearied in every duty of a
pastor, full of sympathy and charity, gentle and condescending in things indifferent, but inflexible in matters of
principle. He showed his fearless zeal in braving the anger of the Empress Justina, by resisting and foiling her
impious attempt to give one of the churches of Milan to the Arians, and by rebuking and leading to penance
the really great Emperor Theodosius, who in a moment of irritation had punished most cruelly a sedition of the
inhabitants of Thessalonica. He was the friend and consoler of St. Monica in all her sorrows, and in 387 he had
the joy of admitting to the Church her son, St. Augustine. St. Ambrose died A.D. 397, full of years and of
honors, and is revered by the Church of God as one of her greatest doctors.

"The perfect family doesn't
exist, nor is there a perfect
husband or a perfect wife,
and let's not talk about the
perfect mother-in-law! It's
just us sinners." A healthy
family life requires frequent
use of three phrases: "May I?
Thank you, and I'm sorry"
and "never, never, never end
the day without making
peace."

FEAST OF FAITH
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Have you seen A ntiques Roadshow on
television? People bring attic treasures to
experts for appraisal and possible cash.
Catholic attics, or maybe Grandma’s wall,
often hold a “sick call crucifix.” It is a
curiously bulky crucifix hiding a sliding panel
and a secret compartment. Two tiny candles, a
squeeze bottle of holy water, a stringy purple
mini-stole, a tube of prayers, and some cotton
balls are all hidden inside. The cross folds up
to form a mini-altar that can be propped up by
a sick person’s bed. All that is needed is a
priest with the oil of the sick and Holy
Communion. Forty years ago, when these
crosses enjoyed great popularity, the
sacrament of the sick was often an encounter
between priest and sick person alone, and
often only in a last crisis of illness.
Gradually, we are reclaiming the
sacrament of anointing from this minimal,
hidden expression. It is celebrated more richly
and more often, even in the Sunday assembly,
at every stage of illness and across a wide
range of human suffering. The “sick call
crucifix” is not a tradition, it is a curiosity
from another time, but it reminds us of true
tradition: we are a people who care for our
sick, who accompany them in faith, and who
sustain them with an experience of Christ’s
presence.

FIESTA DE LA FE
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Nuestras tradiciones son bellas y activas.
Normalmente cuando hablamos de Tradición y
tradiciones nos entendemos como los sujetos de
ellas, pero hay que recordar que primero las
recibimos; si conocemos y participamos en
nuestras tradiciones, es porque alguien ya nos
las enseñó. Teólogos hispanos como Orlando
Espín han convertido la palabra tradición en un
verbo. El proceso de enseñar y aprender
nuestras tradiciones que transmiten el Evangelio
de generación a generación lo llamamos
“tradicionar”. Tradicionar es una labor
importante de la familia cristiana y, de forma
muy limitada, de los ministros y líderes de la
Iglesia.
Nuestros hijos e hijas no van a recibir
nuestras costumbres y creencias en la escuela
pública. No van a aprender a ser buenos
cristianos en las calles o centros comerciales.
Tradicionar cristianamente se hace en la casa, en
el barrio y la parroquia. El tradicionar a un
nuevo cristiano o cristiana, comienza con el
Bautismo, más no termina ahí, es algo continuo,
algo que se da en todo momento. Hay que
educar a nuestros hijos e hijas en las tradiciones
de nuestra fe y la cultura cristiana. Por ejemplo,
durante el Adviento es muy bello tradicionar a
tus hijos con Guadalupe, el pesebre, las posadas
y especialmente, amor al Niño Dios.

Reflecting on God’s Word
How many towns do you suppose have a newspaper called The
Herald? It’s a good name for a newspaper because it refers to one
who proclaims significant news. It also can refer to a person who
comes before to announce what will follow, a forerunner like John.
The angels who heralded the good news of Jesus’ birth fit into a
long line of heralds who proclaimed that God’s promises would at
last be fulfilled.
This week everyone seems to be announcing good news. Isaiah and
the psalmist herald and describe others heralding glad tidings.
Mark proclaims “the gospel [or ‘good news’] of Jesus
Christ” (Mark 1:1). He also depicts John as a herald in the tradition
of Isaiah. And Peter speaks eloquently of God’s promise and
patience. Can we bring ourselves to hearken to their words and
believe them? Do we have any good news of our own to proclaim?

Advent Prayer
Come, long-expected Jesus. Excite in me a wonder at
the wisdom and power of Your Father and ours. Receive
my prayer as part of my service of the Lord who enlists me in
God's own work for justice.
Come, long-expected Jesus. Excite in me a hunger for peace: peace
in the world, peace in my home, peace in myself.
Come, long-expected Jesus. Excite in me a joy responsive to the
Father's joy. I seek His will so I can serve with gladness, singing
and love.
Come, long-expected Jesus. Excite in me the joy and love and
peace it is right to bring to the manger of my Lord. Raise in me,
too, sober reverence for the God who acted there, hearty gratitude
for the life begun there, and spirited resolution to serve the Father
and Son.
I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, whose advent I hail. Amen.
