Fr. Ray Kasch -- Christmas Sermon
A parishioner put an interesting question before me this year and it has to do with this rather unique crèche. I know that many of you can’t see it clearly so let me describe it for you. All of the characters in this manger scene are bears. We have the shepherds who were awakened from their hibernation by the angels singing “Glory to God in the highest. We have the Wise Men who came from the east. You will remember that they got their “bearings” by following a star. We have Joseph who in many ways was a typical Jewish person.
