The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph
December 29, 2013
Over all [other virtues] put on love,
that is, the bond of perfection.
— Colossians 3:14
LOVE
For generations, various cultures
regarded family life merely as a
utilitarian necessity. Sirach introduces
honor and respect. For Jews and
Christians alike, the value of family goes
even further. The family is seen as the
indispensable school where love is learned. Paul addresses
the Colossians and offers a list of virtues that make for a
solid and happy church. These values also make for a
happy family at ease with itself and its members: mercy,
kindness, humility, meekness, patience, forgiveness. As a
capstone, Paul urges love, which brings all of these
domestic virtues to perfection.
Paul seems to be on a roll as he lauds the virtues of the
church at Colossae. With such heartfelt virtues, it is no
wonder Paul bursts into song. Who wouldn’t? It’s clear that
the center of the church is love. It is clear that no matter how
far from home the members travel, the heart remains and all
the members are connected by the gravitational pull of
mutual love, a love first learned in family life. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading — Those who honor and comfort their
parents shall never be forgotten (Sirach 3:2-6, 12-14).
Psalm — Blessed are those who fear the Lord and walk in
his ways (Psalm 128).
Second Reading — You are called into one body. Bear
with one another; forgive one another; let Christ’s peace
control you (Colossians 3:12-21 [12-17]).
Gospel — Joseph rose, took the child and his mother, and
fled to Egypt (Matthew 2:13-15, 19-23).

God Chooses Each of Us in a Special Way
Mary and Joseph were forced to travel in the
last stages of her pregnancy from Nazareth to Bethlehem.
On foot or donkey, it was a dirty and exhausting journey.
Once there, they had no option for decent housing and had
to stay in a stable with animals. Young Mary gave birth in
crude conditions with no friend or family to help.
After a short time, they fled to Egypt with their newborn to
escape threats from the government, and stayed there for
several years. There were no friendly faces to greet the
family once they arrived and they had to make their own
way in an unfamiliar land.
Refugees all over the world flee violence like the Holy
Family. Catholics have a special charge to protect them and
those who are vulnerable: children, elderly, and poor. Like
Mary’s and Joseph’s, God has a special place for each of us
in his plan of salvation. Prayerfully ask God what He wants
you to do for Him and His kingdom.
God bless you.
Fr. Alex
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
We are in the season of the Incarnation, the mystery of
God’s love poured out in Christ’s birth. The word derives
from the Latin carnis meaning “flesh.”
Throughout history, some Christians have distrusted the
“flesh,” and stressed a hatred of this world and its
pleasures. Perhaps they have not paid enough attention to
how “embodied” the sacraments are. One third-century
author put it plainly in an image that may alarm dietconscious Americans, explaining that we wash the body so
the soul can be cleansed, that we anoint the body so the
soul can be strengthened, and that we eat the body and
blood of Christ so that “the soul can fatten on God.”
Catholics “get” that God is revealed in this world. The
sacraments use the “stuff” of creation: water and oil; the
senses of the body, touch and taste and smell. We use the
things of this world rightly. After all, God’s love poured out
into human flesh means the world has eternal value. Why
else would Jesus describe the kingdom to come as a
teeming city or a marriage banquet? Catholics are realists,
and nowhere is that more evident than when we gather for a
sacrament.

The first collection amounted to $7,183.49 and the
second collection for the Archbishop’s Assessment
amounted to $1,816.00. When he discovered that Mary was with
child, Joseph resolved to end their engagement with as little
disgrace as possible. But obedient to the voice of God, he
changed those plans and became instead the protector of the
child Jesus and His mother, Mary. God grant that I may be as
open to the leading of the Holy Spirit!

AÑO NUEVO
El objetivo de un año nuevo no es tener un
nuevo año sino tener una nueva alma.
―G. K. Chesterton
Papa Francisco @Pontifex_es
El amor de Dios no es indiferenciado. Dios
mira con cariño a cada uno, con nombre y
apellidos.
No nos resignemos a un Oriente Medio sin cristianos.
Recemos todos los días por la paz.
El futuro está en las manos de Dios: en esto radica la
esperanza cristiana.
No temas acercarte al Sacramento de la Confesión; en él
encontrarás a Jesús que te perdona.
No se puede concebir una Iglesia sin alegría. Ésta es la
alegría de la Iglesia: anunciar a todos el nombre de Jesús.
María, Madre nuestra, ampáranos en los momentos de
oscuridad, de dificultad y de aparente derrota.
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
En Nicaragua y otras naciones
latinoamericanas se celebra el final de un
año con la “quema del año viejo”. Construyen
grandes muñecos con ropa vieja, pólvora y
papel que se encienden a medianoche entre los dos años.
Celebrar el comienzo de un año nuevo tiene una larga
trayectoria en la historia humana. Hace unos 4000 años el
pueblo de Babilonia ya festejaba la llegada de un nuevo año
con grandes fiestas de primavera. Los judíos, al igual que
otros pueblos agrícolas, también celebraban su año nuevo
durante la primavera, el primer día de Nisán (a principios de
abril).
Fue Julio César quien nos dio la fecha del primero de
enero como el inicio de nuestro calendario. En 1582 el Papa
Gregorio XIII reformó el calendario para darnos el que
actualmente está en uso. No obstante, los cristianos
continuaron celebrando el año nuevo en primavera para evitar
los excesos del “hombre viejo”. Hace 400 años la Iglesia
comenzó a celebrar el día primero de enero buscando
cristianizarlo lo mejor posible. Por eso en el calendario litúrgico
este día es dedicado a María, Madre de Dios.
