All salaam Sir Nobles, Lady Nobles and Sultanas December 2019
GRAND COMMANDERS COMMENTS:
I want to wish each of you a very Merry and Blessed Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2020. As it is the Holy Season of Advent, I asked our Chaplain, Father Michael Dallmeier if he would write an appropriate opening for the December Fez Sez, and here it is: (Thank You Father)
In just a short while we will celebrate the feast of Christmas. When I think of Christmas the word that immediately comes to mind is EXTRAVANCE. On no other day of the year do we spend more time, money, energy on decorations, food, family gatherings, presents, cards to friends. Even the Church is extravagant in its celebration. This is the only day for which the Church has designated three distinct Masses with their own themes and scriptures: Midnight Mass, Mass of the Dawn and Mass during the day. I would hope such extravagance would help to remind us of the truth and mystery that we celebrate on this day, namely that God so loved His creation that He wanted that love be real and tangible for us, so He incarnated that love in the person of His Son, Jesus. It is through this Jesus that we come to know and experience the love of God.
Francis of Assisi desired people to experience more deeply this mystery, so he went to the town of Greccio and with the help of his friends he recreated the scene of Bethlehem with real people and animals.
In the words of Pope Francis: “ Moved by the joy of the gift, the child of Bethlehem, we ask that His crying may shake us from our indifference and open our eyes to those who are suffering. May His tenderness awaken our sensitivity and recognize our call to see Him in all who arrive in our cities, in our lives. And may His revolutionary tenderness persuade us to feel our call to be agents of hope and tenderness to others.”
