This resource is prepared with high school students in mind, but can be adapted for other age groups. We will feature one article for classroom use each month. Back issues, beginning in May 1997, contain a Teachers' Guide. Teachers with access to computer labs should encourage students to access the article directly online.
Students have our permission to print out a copy of the article for classroom use.
We encourage you and your students to subscribe to the print edition of St. Anthony Messenger, where you will see all of the graphics, and more articles that you might find useful on a variety of topics. Liturgy - Advent and preparation for Christmas. The author, Michael D. Guinan, O.F.M., writes of the coming of Jesus the Messiah, both in Advent and Christmas as well as in key moments of our lives. The Messiah is anointed to serve. In the Old Testament, an anointed one is charged with a mission, duties and responsibilities.
