Reading ISir 3:2-6, 12-14God sets a father in honor over his children; a mother's authority he confirms over her sons.Whoever honors his father atones for sins, and preserves himself from them.When he prays, he is heard; he stores up riches who reveres his mother.Whoever honors his father is gladdened by children, and, when he prays, is heard.Whoever reveres his father will live a long life; he who obeys his father brings comfort to his mother.My son, take care of your father when he is old; grieve him not as long as he lives.Even if his mind fail, be considerate of him; revile him not all the days of his life;kindness to a father will not be forgotten, firmly planted against the debt of your sins —a house raised in justice to you.Reading IICol 3:12-21Brothers and sisters:Put on, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved,heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience,bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if one has a grievance against another; as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do.And over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection.And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one body.And be thankful.Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as in all wisdom you teach and admonish one another, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Wives, be subordinate to your husbands, as is proper in the Lord.Husbands, love your wives, and avoid any bitterness toward them.Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord.Fathers, do not provoke your children, so they may not become discouraged.GospelLk 2:41-52Each year Jesus' parents went to Jerusalem for the feastof Passover, and when he was twelve years old, they went up according to festival custom.After they had completed its days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, but his parents did not know it.Thinking that he was in the caravan,they journeyed for a dayand looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances, but not finding him,they returned to Jerusalem to look for him.After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions, and all who heard him were astounded at his understanding and his answers.When his parents saw him,they were astonished, and his mother said to him, “Son, why have you done this to us?Your father and I have been looking for you with great anxiety.”And he said to them,“Why were you looking for me?Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?”But they did not understand what he said to them.He went down with them and came to Nazareth,and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart.And Jesus advanced in wisdom and age and favorbefore God and man.

Friends of the Rosary, Merry and Holy Christmas! Today, December 29, the Sunday following Christmas Day, we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. This celebration emphasizes the importance of family life following the role model and virtues of the holy family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. With its challenges and joys, family life becomes a path to holiness as long as it is bonded in love and obedience to the Lord. The Son of God became a member of a humble family. Jesus, the man-God, lives the family love of a father and a mother. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states, “The Christian family is a communion of persons, a sign and image of the communion of the Father and the Son in the Holy Spirit. In the procreation and education of children it reflects the Father's work of creation. It is called to partake of the prayer and sacrifice of Christ. Daily prayer and the reading of the Word of God strengthen it in charity" (CCC 2205). Today's feast is especially important as parents and children face many threats to the family being truly Christian. Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You! Come, Holy Spirit, come!

There is no perfect family but the Holy Family can give us guidance
Homily for Sunday Mass given by Fr. Andrew Thornton
Read OnlineWhen they had fulfilled all the prescriptions of the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favor of God was upon him. Luke 2:39–40 Today we honor family life in general by pausing to ponder the particular and beautiful hidden life within the home of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. In many ways, their daily life together would have been very similar to other families at that time. But in other ways, their life together is entirely unique and provides us with a perfect model for all families.By God's providence and design, the family life of Jesus, Mary and Joseph was spoken of in the Scripture very little. We read of the birth of Jesus, the presentation in the Temple, the flight into Egypt and the finding of Jesus in the Temple at age twelve. But other than these stories of their life together, we know very little.The line from today's Gospel quoted above does, however, give us some insight worth pondering. First, we see that this family “fulfilled all the prescriptions of the law of the Lord…” Though this is in reference to Jesus being presented in the Temple, it should also be understood to apply to all aspects of their life together. Family life, just like our individual lives, must be ordered by the laws of our Lord.The primary law of the Lord regarding family life is that it must share in the very unity and “communion of love” found in the life of the Most Holy Trinity. Each person of the Holy Trinity has perfect respect for the other, gives selflessly to each other without reserve, and receives each person in their totality. It is their love that makes them one and enables them to act together in perfect harmony as a communion of divine Persons. Though Saint Joseph was not immaculate in his nature, the perfection of love did live in his divine Son and in his immaculate wife. This overwhelming gift of their perfect love would have daily drawn him into the perfection of their lives.Ponder your own closest relationships today. If you are blessed with a close family, ponder them. If not, ponder the persons put into your life who you are called to love with familial love. Who are you to be there for in good times and in bad? Who are you to sacrifice your life for without reserve? Who are you to offer respect, compassion, time, energy, mercy, generosity and every other virtue? And how well do you fulfill this duty of love? Reflect, today, upon the fact that God wants you to share in a communion of life, not only with the Most Holy Trinity but also with those around you, especially your family. Try to ponder the hidden life of Jesus, Mary and Joseph and seek to make their family relationship the model for how you love others. May their perfect communion of love be a model for us all. Lord, draw me into the life, love and communion that You lived with Your Immaculate Mother and Saint Joseph. I offer You myself, my family and all those to whom I am called to love with a special love. May I imitate Your family love and life in all my relationships. Help me to know how to change and grow so that I may more fully share in Your family life. Jesus, I trust in You. Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2024 My Catholic Life!

Fr. Stephan's homily on the Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph
Based upon Luke 2:41-52.
From the responsorial psalm: “Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the recesses of your home; your children like olive plants around your table. Blessed are those who fear the Lord and walk in his ways." A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke (Lk 2:41-52) When his parents saw him, they were astonished, and his mother said to him, “Son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been looking for you with great anxiety.” And he said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?” But they did not understand what he said to them. Luke tells us the story of Jesus at the age of twelve during a pilgrimage to Jerusalem with his parents for the Feast of the Passover. After the feast, Mary and Joseph begin their journey home, assuming Jesus was with them in the caravan of travelers. Returning to Jerusalem,

Let's get all set for the Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph with Fr. James Brockmeier!
In this Christmas message by Chris Romig, the theme centers on finding peace amid life's storms, likened to his experience in the eye of Hurricane Milton. Chris, a Floridian familiar with hurricanes, describes the eerie calm at the storm's center, drawing a parallel to the first Christmas. He portrays the nativity as the eye of a storm, occurring during a period of intense socio-political turmoil and personal hardships for Mary and Joseph. Chris emphasizes that the true message of Christmas is the peace Jesus brings, a peace that exists within life's turbulence rather than separate from it. Using a story of a king awarding a painting of a peaceful bird amidst a storm, he illustrates that real peace persists through conflict and suffering. He stresses that this peace is unique to knowing Jesus Christ, offering strength in challenges, forgiveness for sins, and hope in grief, ensuring believers of an eternal union with God. As part of the Christmas tradition, Romig invites the lighting of candles to symbolize Jesus bringing light into darkness, affirming God's unwavering love and guidance. He concludes with an invitation to seek divine peace and trust in God's presence and support through all of life's storms.

2024 Christmas Carols Candlelight Communion Service Homily by Pastor Jeff McVay
As we dig into the story of the birth of our Savior, there are many timeless lessons we may not have noticed. Personally, the more I dig in and ponder all the events of the Nativity, the more I learn and the more I can apply to my life all year long. Just reflecting on all that God did in Mary and Joseph's lives gives me great pause and wonder. They were ordinary people that God did the extraordinary. It is easy for me to think they are different from you and me just in what God was able to accomplish. That simply is not the case. God longs to do the extraordinary in our lives as well. The common denominator I found in this story is their obedience and surrender to the will of God in their lives. Is it possible if you and I simply determined to live an obedient, surrendered life to God, that He can do the extraordinary in our lives too? Tina is sharing with you five timeless lessons in the Christmas story that, if we grasp, will allow God to do the extraordinary in your life as well.
