Highlights from this episode of American Catholic Radio include:
Saint of the Day
The Blessed Virgin Mary is one of the central figures in our Christmas nativity scene whose “yes” to God's invitation is a part of the history of salvation.
Living Faith
Thousands will pass through our nation's airports this holiday season. Don Kelsey, one of two Catholic deacons of the Interfaith Airport Chaplaincy in the Atlanta International Airport, talks about his ministry. He makes himself available to both workers and travelers who cross his path.
Ask a Franciscan
Father Greg Friedman, O.F.M., answers questions: What is the feast of the solemnity of Mary, Mother of God? How old was Jesus when the Wise Men visited? Why is it wrong to decorate for Christmas before Advent ends?

Portrait of Paul
Paul's Helpers
In observance of the Year of St. Paul, we bring you another “Portrait of Paul” from Father Norman Langenbrunner. Paul had many collaborators in his mission work. Barnabas and Timothy are two of his better-known co-workers. Father Norm tells us about one who's probably not a household name—;Epaphras—;who ministered in the city of Colossae.
