For the Sun-Gazette Mary Alice, with some help from me, has been decorating our home for the holidays. Sadly, due to the COVID restrictions for traveling and limiting the amount of people who can meet, we are not going to visit our families. Christmas of 2020 will be much different than those in the past due to COVDI-19. Over 2,000 years ago the three Wise Men, carrying gifts, traveled many days and nights to reach their destination. In the Bible, we read the three Wise Men carried gifts of gol...

The Tablet December 22, 2020 My dear brothers and sisters in the Lord, As we celebrate Christmas this year, it is a Christmas like no other that I have ever celebrated in my 76 years. Fortunately, I never celebrated Christmas in a time of war when the whole world was in turmoil, but this year the Coronavirus has joined the world together in a crisis never before seen in the last hundred years. Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, in a wonderful book just published, “LET US DREAM, the Path t...

Jupiter and Saturn will be remarkably close Monday night, December 21, a sight to remember and one that is even being likened to the Christmas Star, a symbol of hope our world desperately needs. The two biggest planets in the Solar System shine like bright stars; Jupiter, closer and largest, is the brighter. Look for the pair in the southwestern sky during evening twilight. A good time to look is about 45 minutes after sunset; the sky will be dark enough and yet the planets will still be about ...

Roy Exum: Look In Tonight’s Sky Monday, December 21, 2020 - by Roy Exum Roy Exum There are some in the world who believe today will be remembered as The Second Coming of Jesus Christ. There are others who have long called 12-21-2020 as “The Great Conjunction,” this because astrologers have known for years that on this very night there will be a rare cosmic event that signals the dawn of the Age of Aquarius. Jupiter and Saturn are the largest planets in the solar system and tonight, ...
