DATE/DAY: DECEMBER, 16, 2008, TUESDAY TIME: 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM, PST EVENT: 2 OF 9 NIGHTS VIGIL SYMBOL: Family Tree THEME: Family and Friends 1ST READING: Genesis 49:2,8-10 GOSPEL: Matthew 1:1-17 REFLECTION: Every year we hear Jesus' family tree, all the way back to David. There are so many generations, it seems possible that everyone in Israel is related to Jesus. In fact the Book of Chronicles whows almost 4000 years of ancestors to Jesus, who was born over 2000 years ago. If we really stop to consider our own known and unknown relations, we might see the world a little differently. Do that, just for today.
