We, too, must trust in the Lord, so like Abram, our families might prosper. Second Reading: Hebrews 11:8, 11-12, 17-19 By faith, Abraham and Sarah were blessed with Isaac, and through him, many descendants because they trusted in God’s promise and believed in what they could not see. We see that faith, trust and prayer bring forth God’s miracles in our lives. Gospel: Luke 2:22-40 Jesus was brought to Jerusalem to be consecrated according to the law of Moses. A man named Simeon had learned he would not die until he had seen God’s anointed. Upon seeing Jesus, he immediately declared he had witnessed “the glory of your people of Israel.” The prophetess Anna also gave thanks and spoke of Jesus to all who would listen. Both recognized the power of Jesus, although he was still an infant.

Feast of the Holy Family December 28, 2014 Through God’s mysterious design, it was in the family of Joseph and Mary that the Son of God spent long years of a hidden life. It is therefore the prototype and example for all Christian families. It was unique in the world. Its life was passed in anonymity and silence in a little town in Palestine. It underwent trials of poverty, persecution and exile. It glorified God in an incomparably exalted and pure way. And it will not fail to help Christian families – indeed all families in the world – to be faithful to their day-to-day duties, to bear the cares and tribulations of life, to be open and generous to the needs of others and to fulfill with joy the plan of God in their regard. Mary the Virgin Mary, who is the mother of the Church, is also the mother of the Church of the home. May each Christian family really become a little Church in which the mystery of the Church of Christ is mirrored and given new life. St. Joseph was a just man. A tireless worker, the upright guardian of those entrusted to his care. May he always guard, protect and enlighten families. May Christ the lord, the Universal king, the King of families, be present in every Christian home as He was at Cana, Bestowing light, joy, serenity and strength. John Paul II, On the Family
