As the season of Advent winds down and we move more directly toward Christmas, I simply wanted to share a link to the The Digital Story of the Nativity . This is a creative representation of the Christmas story. I hope you who are "digitally initiated" will find this intriguing and perhaps spur your reflection on the meaning of the Nativity anew!
Blessings!

ADVENT RESOURCES
Advent, the beginning of the new Church year will be here before we know it. The Evangelization and Adult Faith Formation page of the Diocesan Website lists two very good resources for celebrating Advent and preparing for Christmas. ( http://www.dmdiocese.org/evangelization-and-adult-faith-formation.cfm )
I would like to also draw your attention to the Center for Ministry Development website which is providing free resources linked to the Scriptures for each Sunday of Advent. Here is the link. http://www.fashioningfaith.org/index.php?option=com_ambrasubs&view=categories&categoryid=976&Itemid=131
I do believe you will find these resources easy to use.
