MUSIC AND SPIRITUALITY
The choir Izwi le Themba (voices of hope in isiZulu) from Saint Daniel Comboni Parish at Mahube Valley, Mameldi, Pretoria, singing at Montserrat Abbey in Barcelona, during their concert tour to Spain in 2008. The group’s name conveys a deep meaning rooted in one of the reasons for singing: to bring hope to the world.

Missing Baby Jesus
BY Fr Konrad Nefzger MCCJ | from “Walking with God’s People”
Sr Anastasia had lovingly prepared the crib for Christmas. Even Baby Jesus was already in the manger. What great consternation when, at the start of midnight Mass, it was discovered that little Jesus was missing! Where could he be? Who would have committed the terrible crime of stealing him? The puzzle was solved when Fr Tremmel appeared with Baby Jesus, informing the theologically ignorant that Jesus was born at midnight and not before.
