December 28, 2014 HOLY FAMILY OF JESUS, MARY & JOSEPH 11701 Clopper Rd., Gaithersburg, MD 20878-1024 PHONE: 301-948-7545 FAX: 301-869-2170 EMERGENCIES (A er Hours): 301-355-8191 CANCELLATION INFORMATION: x307 WEBSITE: www.strose-parish.org EUCHARIST / EUCARISTÍA Historic Chapel / Capilla Histórica Monday-Friday................................... 8:30 am (English) 1er Viernes ........................................ 7:00 pm (Español) Sunday............................................... 7:15 am (English) 1er Dimanche................................... 10:00 am (Français) 2nd Sunday ........................................ 5:00 pm (Tagalog) Church / Iglesia Saturday Vigil ..................................... 5:00 pm (English) Sunday...... 8:45 am (English) & 11:15 am (English + ASL) Domingo ........................................... 1:00 pm (Español) RECONCILIATION / RECONCILIACIÓN Our readings today emphasize that the family is a bridge, a spiritual community, a factory of love and a living cell. Historic Chapel / Capilla Histórica Thursday........................ 7:00-9:00 pm (English/Español) The Book of Sirach tells us how human life is connected across genera ons. We should carefully observe respect and care for our parents as they become older, weaker, more easily distracted, and respect their legacy and Chris an faith. The family is a community in which one genera on cares for another; the family is a bridge that connects genera ons and transfers both civic and faith-based values. Church / Iglesia Saturday ..................................... 4:00-4:30 pm (English) Domingo .................................... 2:15-3:15 pm (Español) The family is also a spiritual community. St. Paul writes to the Colossians about the virtues that hold a church or family together: pa ence, forgiveness and joint prayer. It would be nice if the whole Chris an life unfolded automa cally with our Bap sm. But it doesn’t happen that way. We learn within the family how to be a Chris an - to pray, to be pa ent, to reconcile, to be bridge-builders. Bap sm Classes Begin while pregnant or awai ng adop on. Bap sms will not be scheduled un l clases have been completed. Parents MUST pre-register to a end. Two sessions are required. 2015: January 10 & 17 Clases para Bau smo Comience cuando este embarazada o esperando una adopción. Los Bau zos no se podrán programar hasta que las clases hayan sido completadas. Los padres TIENEN que pre-registrarse para atender. Dos sesiones se requieren. 2015: enero 10 y 17, marzo 14 y 21, mayo 2 y 16, sep embre 12 y 19, noviembre 7 y 14 The family is the factory of love where we start to learn the virtues of uncondi onal love, generosity, responsibility, coopera on, goodness, selfdiscipline, self-control, faith, charity, love of God and dealing with authority. The family is the tes ng-ground for how deeply parents have engrained these Chris ans virtues in their children. It is a factory of faith where the rough edges get smoothed, where shape and structure come into our lives, where we start to learn how to be good persons and what it takes to follow Christ. Each family is a living cell of the Body of Christ, the larger Church. That is part of the wisdom of the Holy Family coming to the Temple together as members of the larger Jewish family, the chosen People of God. We are also - individually and as a community - living cells, members of the Church Universal, the great family of God, the chosen people, the Body of Christ. Today, we li in humble prayer our families to the Holy Family to ask for healing, faith, grace, determina on and strength, because family life is not easy today. Many dark forces influence our family members, especially our youngest ones. This Holy Family Sunday is not simply a chance to reflect on family life in general, but to decide how we can strengthen our own family’s life in the coming year. That kind of decision can only be made in each individual home. Are we keeping the faith legacy of our ancestors? Are we transferring Chris an values to future genera ons, to our children? Are we models of uncondi onal love, generosity, coopera on, responsibility, goodness, selfdiscipline, self-control, faith, charity, love of God and respect to authority? Are our families true factories of Chris an love?
