FROM MY HEART TO YOURS
Celebrated each year on the Sunday after Christmas, the Feast of the Holy Family is a perfect time to reflect
upon this holy model of love and unity. On Dec. 30, 2001, St. John Paul II celebrated the Feast of the Holy Family.
As he did, he reflected on the Holy Family, how it sanctifies families and what we can learn from meditating upon
the life that Jesus, Mary and Joseph shared together in Nazareth. “For every believer, and especially for Christian
families, the humble dwelling place in Nazareth is an authentic school of the Gospel. Here we admire, put into
practice, the divine plan to make the family an intimate community of life and love; here we learn that every
Christian family is called to be a small "domestic church" that must shine with the Gospel virtues,” said St. John Paul
II to the crowd. “Recollection and prayer, mutual understanding and respect, personal discipline and community
asceticism and a spirit of sacrifice, work and solidarity are typical features that make the family of Nazareth a model
for every home.”
In Pope Francis’ 2013 celebration of the Feast of the Holy Family, he reminded people that Mary and Joseph
were refugees. He said, “Jesus wanted to belong to a family who experienced these hardships, so that no one would
feel excluded from the loving closeness of God. The flight into Egypt caused by Herod’s threat shows us that God is
present where man is in danger, where man is suffering, where he is fleeing, where he experiences rejection and
abandonment; but God is also present where man dreams, where he hopes to return in freedom to his homeland and
plans and chooses life for his family and dignity for himself and his loved ones.” The homeless man or woman today
in the streets of big cities, fighting the cold and the snow, is part of our family. The drug addict in a den, or living in
fear and aloneness this day, is a member of our family. The sick person, dying, alone, dirty and maybe even
obnoxious, is a member of our family. The person sitting in the prison cell for whatever reason is also a child of God
and, as such, according to St. John, is a member of our family. All these, as well as the cherished intimate members
of our family, are “family valuables,” and, as such, are worthy of safekeeping and reverence.
A senior Judge of the Supreme Court recently congratulated the bride and groom in a marriage with a
pertinent piece of advice: “See that you never convert your family into a courtroom; instead let it be a confessional. If
the husband and wife start arguing like attorneys in an attempt to justify their behavior, their family becomes a court
of law and nobody wins. On the other hand, if the husband and the wife — as in a confessional — are ready to admit
their faults and try to correct them, the family becomes a Heavenly one.” Thus, we can avoid the dangers we watch in
dysfunctional families as presented on TV in the shows like Married with Children, The Simpson’s, Everyone Loves
Raymond and Malcolm in the Middle.
On the Feast of the only family that had achieved perfection on this earth, all parents might examine
themselves and see how well they are fulfilling the grave responsibility which God has placed on them. As they heard
during their marriage ceremony: “Children are a gift from God to you.” Children serve as the joy of their parents’
young years and the help and comfort of their old age, but above and beyond that, they are a gift for which their
parents are accountable before God, as they must, in the end, return these, His children, to Him. Let us pray for the
grace of caring for one another in our own families, for each member of the parish family, and for all families of the
universal Church.
Wishing you a Happy New Year! May God bless all our families in the New Year!
Stay tuned to the Holy Spirit!
May God bless the whole world!
