If on no other day of the year, certainly on this day we give God thanks for our family, however it has been constituted and bestowed upon us. No one knows us better, has been with us longer, and has loved us as consistently as our family members. I often laugh at the irony that there are times when our family members have been some of the most difficult people in the world for us to love. Today's feast gives us the courage and generosity to go on doing just that. We take the Holy Family as our example. When you consider the confusion and upset that would have been possible in their lives and realize that their faith in God and in each other enabled them to move onto both the next joy and challenge in their lives, we are humbled. So if there is some member of your family who is particularly difficult to deal with or someone who has been estranged from the family, today is a great day to reach out again in kindness to that person. For it is not only your love being represented in that gesture but God's own love for them as His children. Finally, let us pray for so many in this world whose experience of being a family has been little more than suffering or hardship or violence. While our own families are not perfect, we certainly have known many blessings because of them. Father Brown YOUTH GROUP JHigh—a ministry just for the 7th and 8th graders of the parish.
