Holy Family Catholic Community
Dear Holy Family,
The group that went on a pilgrimage to the March for Life
would like to extend a very heartfelt thank you for all the
prayers and support from you, our community. We all have
been called by Christ to love, without judgment or
conditions or limitations… we are called to love as Christ
did. We love each person from conception to natural
death, and it was this that our experience has
strengthened within us. Thank you for making this possible
for all the young people. Please continue to offer your
support to this group both financially and through prayer.
Love, Your Pilgrims

3rd Week in Ordinary Time
Justice Challenge: Sunday’s Gospel has
Jesus calling together a motley group of
people to be his apostles. They drop
whatever they are doing—fishing, mending
their nets, whatever—and begin a life of
discipleship. What trust they demonstrate in Jesus! Your
challenge this week is to drop the “nets” in your life
which keep you from contributing to the building of God’s
Kingdom as Jesus described it—a Kingdom in which
everyone gets the chance to live with dignity and hope.
Reflect on how willing you are to drop the mundane in
order to follow Jesus. Copyright © Center for Ministry

Holy Family Connection: My mother was a woman of very
meager means. She raised a family of 7 children and when
5 of them were still dependent on her for food, shelter
and clothing, she found herself in the situation of being a
single parent. She could have easily gotten into the
mundane routine of work, home, cooking, laundry and
cleaning, then back to work the next day – day in and day
out. But, instead she responded to Jesus’ challenge to
serve others. Our dear Mother, who herself qualified for
aid and assistance, but chose to refuse that aid, chose
instead to serve others with the same needs. She set aside
her own “net,” a net that carried the burden of providing
for her family, and became a faithful servant, feeding the
hungry and offering hope and peace to those in need. My
mother passed away this January 8. She leaves behind a
legacy of good and faithful service to God and others.
What is the “net” that you can set aside? And in doing so,
what kind of faithful servant will you be? Who and how
many people can you make a difference to?
