WITH MUCH
APPRECIATION
AND GRATITUDE
We are so grateful
for the kindness
and generosity
extended to us
priests during this
Christmas Season
by many of you.
We want to take
this opportunity to
extend our words
and sentiments of
gratitude to you for
your cards, gifts and
good wishes. May
God bless you and
your loved ones
today and
throughout the
New Year!

“ Merry Christmas and a Happy and Blessed New Year!”
As we are still in the Christmas Season it is appropriate to continue to
wish each other a Merry Christmas. This week we will begin the start
of the New Year so I extend to each one of you a Happy and Blessed
New Year as well.
The start of the New Year is traditionally the time to make resolutions.
I hope that my column last week was helpful to that end. I think that
the one resolution we Catholics should all be making each year at its
beginning would be to live our lives as authentically and “intentionally”
as we can.
On January 1st we also observe the Feast of Mary, the Mother of God.
This feast is an additional opportunity to focus on the Christmas
mystery and what we believe about the child born of Mary. Jesus is
truly God’s Son and Mary is His Mother. Therefore, we rightfully and
respectfully call her “the Mother of God.”
Mary is the perfect model for us as the disciples of her son, Jesus. In
her littleness she was open and willing to do God’s bidding and will.
That was not always easy for her but her love for God fueled her
resolve. Our love for God can do the same.
This weekend we are celebrating the Feast of the Holy Family of
Jesus, Mary and Joseph. This is a wonderful feast to observe in the
midst of the Christmas Season, as the family is the center of life for
most of us and the basic unit of society. Let us pray for the
strengthening of all families and for the coming Ordinary Synod on
the Family taking place this spring as a follow-up to the Extraordinary
Synod that recently took place in Rome.
“The primary intention of the Synod is to promote the Catholic
Christian vision of the family, to help families live more fully the
vocation to which they have been called, and to support them in the
struggles they face. At the October Synod several. . .issues related to
this process emerged: among these were 1) divorced and “remarried”
Catholics receiving Communion, 2) the pastoral care of persons with
homosexual tendencies, and 3) issues regarding life.” (Aleteia:
Seekers of the Truth Blog)
Following the example of Jesus, we entrust our families to His
Mother, Mary, who is also the Mother of the Church. She is our
guide, protector and help. May Our Blessed Mother, together with
St. Joseph, intercede on behalf of all of our families; especially, on
this wonderful feast day.

REFLECTING ON THE WORD (from Sadlier Publications) Luke 2:22, 39-40
Question of the Week: Whom do you consider a wise person? Where do you seek wisdom?
The home of the Holy Family was a simple one. Jesus was a child who laughed and cried and played as
other children do. Under the care of Mary and Joseph, Jesus learned about God's covenant with the
chosen people. He prayed with his parents in the synagogue. In a family warmed with faith and love and
peace, he grew in wisdom, age, and grace.
Families are made up of people who belong to and care for one another in good times and in bad.
Luke's Gospel reminds us that Jesus understood what it means to be a part of a family. Ask him to help
you to grow as he did, in wisdom, so that the grace of God will rest upon you too.
How is faith communicated to children by their parents? How have your parents helped you to become
a faithful person? What sentences in this reading help us to understand how Mary and Joseph helped
Jesus to become a faithful human person? Can children also strengthen their parent's faith?
