Feast of the Holy Family December 29, 2019
FOCUS: God is at the heart of all Christian families.
Today we celebrate and recognize the Holy Family—
Jesus, Mary and Joseph—as the model of all Christian
families. St. Joseph set a good example for all of us as his
family faced the crisis of Herod’s plot to kill Jesus: He
listened to God’s voice and cared for his family according
to the word of God.
LITURGY OF THE WORD: Sirach writes about
family relationships and duties, especially that of honor-
ing one’s parents all the days of their lives. Paul instructs
the Colossians on how to love one another and live for
Christ. In the Gospel, Joseph follows the instructions of
the angels who led him safely into, and out of, Egypt.
Prayer to the Holy Family
JESUS, Son of God and Son of Mary, bless our family.
Graciously inspire in us the unity, peace, and mutual love that you found in your own family
in the little town of Nazareth.
MARY, Mother of Jesus and Our Mother, nourish our family with your faith and your love.
Keep us close to your Son, Jesus, in all our sorrows and joys.
JOSEPH, Foster-father to Jesus, guardian and
spouse of Mary, keep our family safe from harm. Help us in all times of discouragement or anxiety.
HOLY FAMILY OF NAZARETH, make our
family one with you. Help us to be instruments of peace.
Grant that love, strengthened by grace, may prove mightier than all the weaknesses and trials through
which our families sometimes pass. May we always have God at the center
of our hearts and homes until we are all one family,
happy and at peace in our true home with you. Amen.
Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God

1 de enero: Solemnidad de María, Madre de Dios
Misa a las 10:00 en español
La Iglesia Católica quiere comenzar el año pidiendo la protección de la Santísima Virgen María. La fiesta mariana más antigua que se conoce en Occidente es la de "María Madre de Dios". Ya en las Catacumbas o antiquísimos subterráneos que están cavados debajo de la ciudad de Roma y donde se reunían los primeros cristianos para celebrar la Misa, en tiempos de las persecuciones, hay pinturas con este nombre: "María, Madre de Dios".
Domingo, 5 de enero
¡Feliz Fiesta de la Epifanía
Día de los Reyes Magos!
Misa se celebrará por el Obispo Edward Deliman.
Gracias a la Hermandad del Señor de los Milagros por patrocinar una fiesta para los niños después de
la Misa. Tambien tenemos una parranda!

Diciembre 29,2019 FIESTA DE LA SAGRADA FAMILIA
JOSÉ, LEVÁNTATE, COGE AL NIÑO Y A SU MADRE Y HUYE A EGIPTO ". EL Evangelio nos cuenta de la huida a Egipto y El retorno a Nazaret. Murieron los niños inocentes pues Herodes los mandó a matar. José protegió a Jesús y a María. Ellos huyeron, esto es, fueron camino al destierro. La Familia hoy día atraviesa mo-mentos dificiles. Hay una crisis de estabilidad familiar. Dificil equilibrio enter libertad y autoridad en la relación enter padres e hijos. Otras veces hay falta de mejor comunicación, crisis de valores humanos y aún cristianos. La Iglesia afirma que la familia es la primera célula vital de la sociedad y la mejor escuela de las virtudes humanas y cristia-nas. Que la Sagrada Familia de Nazaret interceda, ayude y proteja a nuestras familias para que reine en ellas la bondad, la misericordia, la comprensión, la paz y el amor.
