Dear Friends, As another year draws to a close, it feels as though we have become ever used to experiencing four seasons in one day as opposed to four throughout the year.

I hope 2023 has brought each of you much peace and contentment and you have felt drawn, ever closer, to your faith throughout the trials and tribulations of the last 12 months. I am delighted to be continuing with my online Garden Mass which, many of you will know, began during the pandemic. It brings together people of faith from all over the world. It is wonderful to sit, pray, reflect, and celebrate together. If you are unable to attend church in person, please join us each Sunday at www. rpbooks.co.uk/holy-mass-online You are most heartily welcome!

As the cost-of-living crisis continues to blight so many, we have thought creatively and sensitively about the right products to advance your faith life this Advent.

The Prepare Your Heart book and retreat (page 5) comes highly recommended and will guide you to becoming closer to God this season.

My 2024 diary (page 2), Through the Year with Twelve Parables of Jesus, is designed to be your practical faith companion throughout the year. Or why not explore Advent and Christmas with one of the greatest writers of the Catholic Church, St Thomas Aquinas (page 11).

A perfect gift for Christmas is a subscription to Sacred Heart Messenger magazine (page 46), to provide spiritual nourishment the whole year through. We have also sourced some beautiful Christmas cards (pages 28-29) and gifts (pages 38-42) that I hope will inspire you and serve to delight your loved ones.

With every good wish for a healthy and Holy New Year.

God bless.

Also available as an eBook

“The format of the book is simple. Fourteen episodes are chosen from the Infancy Narratives in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, except for the very first, which is taken from John and which stresses the awesome reality of God becoming truly human. Each episode has the same shape: after the opening response there is a scripture reading, followed by the author’s personal

reflection, then a prayer and a closing response. Fourteen carefully chosen works of art match each station as appropriate. The author, with his usual aplomb, makes the scenes come vividly alive and has created a beautiful, thoughtful book.”

Diaries ¤¢ ¦ ¤ Why tell stories?

All tribes and all peoples have a treasure of sacred stories.

In many cultures it was the storyteller who introduced people to their own identity and their own history, giving them a sense of belonging to a larger story than their own. These stories have the function of establishing a narrative beginning to creation/nation/ tribe and preserving a particular way of seeing the world. The stories were told in the belief that people’s identities seem largely determined by the kind of story they believe they inhabit. Without those stories there is a sense of alienation not only from what has happened before but from what is happening within. Without stories there is little opportunity to discover a way of seeing the world or a way of seeing ourselves.

We can tell stories for all sorts of reasons: to establish who we are and where we came from; to preserve our traditions, to defend our way of seeing things; to tell lies and hide painful truths; to pass the time, to entertain, to enlighten; to expose oppressive behaviour and hypocrisy; to question cherished myths, to introduce new thinking.

¡ ¦ ¤ ¡ ª ¤

ª ¨ ¡ £ of £¦£

The appeal to narrative as a way of understanding the world and oneself is not based simply on an interest in story nor in recognition of the story’s privileged place in the Jewish and Christian traditions. As Michael Goldberg points out: “Instead, it is the much stronger view that virtually all our convictions, nonreligious as well as religious, are rooted in some narrative, and that frequently, our most serious disputes with one another UHÁHFW ULYDO QDUUDWLYH DFFRXQWV µ1 A particular community’s sacred stories give shape to its sense of identity; they provide a setting for belief; they give rise to convictions and claims which are later abstracted from the original narrative and placed in a dogmatic framework. A community’s sacred stories, however, may provoke profound disagreement among those who do not belong to that community or among its
