Over all [other virtues] put on love, that is, the bond of perfection. — Colossians 3:14
SALVATION IN DAILY LIFE This Sunday is the feast of the Holy Family, which comes on the first Sunday after Christmas Day. Today's feast celebrates how the humanity of Jesus (including his entire family life) has brought saving significance into the daily rhythms of our human family life. The scriptures offer instruction and encouragement on how to share--within our families, parish families, and the wider human family--the love that God shares with us in Jesus. Selections from Sirach, Psalm 128, and Colossians encourage us to reflect divine love and thus find holiness in all our human relationships. The reading from Mat-thew's Gospel offers a living example of love in the ac-tions Joseph took to protect his young family from danger and to nurture them within the larger family of faith of their time.

READINGS FOR THE WEEK
Monday: 1 Jn 1:1-4; Jn 20:1a, 2-8 Tuesday: 1 Jn 1:5 -- 2:2; Mt 2:13-18 Wednesday: 1 Jn 2:3-11; Lk 2:22-35 Thursday: 1 Jn 2:12-17; Lk 2:36-40 Friday: 1 Jn 2:18-21; Jn 1:1-18 Saturday: Nm 6:22-27; Ps 67; Gal 4:4-7; Lk 2:16-21 Sunday: Is 60:1-6; Ps 72; Eph 3:2-3a, 5-6; Mt 2:1-12
TODAY'S READINGS First Reading -- Those who honor and comfort their parents shall never be forgotten (Sirach 3:2-7, 12-14). Psalm -- Blessed are those who fear the Lord and walk in his ways (Psalm 128). Second Reading -- You are called into one body: Bear with one another; forgive one another; let Christ's peace control you (Colossians 3:12-21 [12-17]). Gospel -- Joseph rose, took the child and his mother, and fled to Egypt (Matthew 2:13-15, 19-23).
FEAST OF FAITH Processions Why does the liturgy begin with a procession? It is not just a practical matter of getting the ministers of the lit-urgy from the sacristy to the sanctuary. The procession is a powerful sign of who we are as Christian people. We are not static, staying in one place. We are going some-where. Our procession leads us to the altar, sign of Christ's presence in our midst. We move, we process, be-cause we recognize our need for what Christ is preparing for us at that table. We go forward eagerly, because we are hungry for that heavenly food. This procession is an orderly one: servers, deacon, priest presider. Each is set apart by distinctive vesture: albs for the altar servers, dalmatic for the deacon, chasuble for the priest. The procession is an image of the hierarchical structure of the Church. On a deeper level it is an image of unity in diversity. We are all on a journey to the heav-enly city, but each of us is clothed with different gifts. We all receive the call to service, but not in the same way. Only by coming together in all our wonderful variety can we achieve the work of the kingdom. --Corinna Laughlin, (c) Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

The St. Jude the Apostle Medal was commissioned for the Dio-cese of St. Petersburg in 1999 at the request of Bishop Robert N. Lynch. The famous Enrico Manfrini of Milan, Italy designed the medal and it was cast by the Senesi Foundry of Milan. The medal is given each year in the Diocese of St. Petersburg as a way to recognize those persons showing distinguished and out-standing service to their parish. This medal acknowledges the great gift of the church, its people, exemplified in these individu-als who in their generosity and love of their faith have greatly contributed to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ in their par-ish. On November 21st, 2010, the recipients from Incarnation were Joe & Cathy Pena. Joe is head usher at the 12:00 mass, an officer of Incarnation council 8612 Knights of Columbus, as well as a 4th degree Knight. Cathy is a Eucharistic Minister, and a member of the Columbiettes and the ICCW. They are both very active around the parish and are constantly giving of their time, talent, and treasure. Congratulations to Joe & Cathy!

FORMACIÓN DE FE PARA ADULTOS
RITO DE INICIACIÓN CRISTIANA PARA ADULTOS
PEQUEÑAS COMUNIDADES DE FE
SALVACIÓN EN LA VIDA DIARIA Este domingo es la fiesta de la Sagrada Familia que cae en el primer domingo después del Día de Navidad. La fiesta de hoy celebra cómo la humanidad de Jesús (incluso toda su familia) ha
dado significado salvífico a los quehaceres diarios de nuestra propia vida familiar. Las lecturas ofrecen instrucción y aliento sobre cómo compartir –dentro de nuestras familias, en la familia de la parroquia y en la más amplia familia humana– el amor que Dios comparte con nosotros en Jesús. Selecciones de Eclesiástico, del salmo 128 (127), y colosenses nos alientan a ser reflejo del amor divino y así encontrar la santidad en todas nuestras relaciones humanas. La lectura del Evangelio según Mateo ofrece un ejemplo vivo de amor en las medidas que José tomó para proteger a su joven familia del peligro y para que creciera dentro de la gran familia de fe de su época. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co. 26 de diciembre ♦ San Esteban Según el libro de los Hechos de los Apóstoles, Esteban fue uno de los primeros diácono. Se dedico a predicar el evangelio, provocando la oposición de los fariseos que terminaron por apedrearle. Pablo, que por entonces se llamaba Saulo de Tarso, estuvo presente en la ejecución. Es el primer mártir cristiano y su testimonio ha sido fuente de nuevos cristianos para la Iglesia. Murió perdonando a sus perseguidores. ¿De qué maneras eres capaz de perdonar a quienes te molestan, te hieren, rechazan, o persiguen? ©Nuestra Parroquia Noviembre 2010
Sabías que... La bendición con agua se utiliza como signo que nos recuerda el bautismo. Se utiliza en la misa en ocasiones
especiales, como la Vigilia Pascual, bodas y funerales.
NUESTRA CULTURA Siempre se dice que en la cultura hispana un valor primordial es la familia. Así, quisiéramos que fuera, al menos. La vida agitada de este país, las tensiones y las presiones, y a veces el orden prevalente en gran parte de la sociedad de falta de estabilidad y fidelidad, pueden amenazar este valor. ©Nuestra Parroquia Noviembre 2010
