Yes No Holy Family December 28, 2014 WEEKLY CALENDAR The Good of the Family Today’s liturgy speaks of two families. The first is the family that consists of parents and children: “The shepherds ... found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger.” The first two readings are about the qualities of the people who make up such a family, and we pray that God may “unite our families in peace and love.” We also pray that God may “help us to live as the holy family, united in respect and love.” Here the liturgy concerns the human family, of which the Holy Family is also a model: “we want to live as Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, in peace with you and one another.” Linking these two families, one’s immediate family and the human family, today’s liturgy prompts us to think of their common welfare. It raises the possibility that our two families rise and fall together. Perhaps it is no accident that in this age of the universally recognized disintegration of the family, the human family is also experiencing a breakup into rich and poor, developed and underdeveloped, the privileged and the marginal. Perhaps now more than ever, we need to beg God to “show us the value of family life and help us to live in peace with all men.” At a moment in which the family is the object of numerous forces that seek to destroy it or in some way to deform it, and aware that the well-being of society and her own good are intimately tied to the good of the family, the church perceives in a more urgent and compelling way her mission of proclaiming to all people the plan of God for marriage and family, ensuring their full vitality and human and Christian development, and thus contributing to the renewal of society and of the people of God.

Sin duda el relato más conocido es el de la primera lectura de hoy: Lucas se inspiró en este relato para contar el milagroso nacimiento de Juan Bautista, hijo de Zacarías e Isabel, y el nacimiento aun más milagroso de Jesús, hijo de María y José. En ambos casos, vemos ejemplos o modelos a seguir de personas que confiaron en Dios. Más que ser ejemplos de personas que confiaron, son modelos de entrega incondicional de sí. Abandonaron sus propios preconceptos y prejuicios sobre el funcionamiento del mundo y entregaron sus vidas a creer en un Dios que puede hacer que haya vida en lugares en donde era inconcebible que la hubiera; un Dios que puede convertir la muerte en una vida nueva e inimaginable; un Dios que puede, hoy, tomar a un niñito de padres humildes en un pueblo insignificante y convertirlo en una luz para el mundo entero. Esto es a lo que se nos llama a hacer cada día como Sagrada Familia de Dios: confiar no sólo en nosotros mismos y en la manera en que pensamos que deberían ser las cosas, sino a abrirnos y entregarnos en fe a un Dios de promesa infinita.

Surely the best known among these is the first reading from today, from which Luke took inspiration when he recounted the miraculous birth of John the Baptist to Zechariah and Elizabeth, and the more miraculous birth of Jesus to Mary and Joseph. In each instance, we are given examples or role models of those who trusted in God. More than examples of those who trust, they are models of self-surrender. They abandoned their own presuppositions and prejudices about the workings of the world and turned their lives over to belief in a God who can make life grow where none ought to; a God who can turn death around into a new and unimagined life; a God who can, today, take a tiny child of humble parents in an insignificant town and make him into a light for all the world. This is what we, as God's holy family, are called to do each day: to trust not in ourselves and the way we think things should be, but to open ourselves and surrender ourselves in faith to a God of endless promise.
