Dear friends in Jesus Christ, A few years ago, a study was undertaken to find the U.S. city with the lowest incidence of cancer and heart disease. The winner was Rosetto, Pennsylvania. Soon experts
descended upon the city expecting to see a town populated by non-smokers, people who ate the correct food, took regular exercise and kept close track of their cholesterol. To their great surprise, however, the researchers discovered that none of the above was true. They found instead that the city’s good health was tied to the close family bonds that prevailed within the community. This suggests that there is much to be said for a close and loving family relationship. Today we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. The feast of the Holy Family is the natural continuation of the Christmas Season. All the scripture readings of today reflect on aspects of family including the duties and blessings that come about as a result of the faithful living of family life. In the creation narrative of the Bible we read that God created man in his image and likeness and placed him in a family. To understand what a family is we must come to know the life of God in the Trinity which is a family. Again, God expresses his relationship with human persons in terms of covenants which are family bonds. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, became man, in order to save us from our sins and that we might become Children of God. He came into the world and was born in a family. He lived at Nazareth with his parents to give us an understanding of a true family life. Here God himself becomes a model for us so that we may truly come to know the real family life. Today we hold the family of Nazareth as an example to all Christians how a family life should be and thus truly relate ourselves to God who is a family. In the Gospel we have the protective role of Joseph as he takes Mary and Jesus to Egypt. In the first reading we have the formula of a wise teacher for a strong family: honor and respect. Paul in the second reading encourages all families to practice every kind of virtue. Wish you a happy New Year 2018. We have a 9.00am special mass on Monday Morning January 1, 2018. It is the Feast of Mary the Mother of God. I will be going to India for visiting my parents from Jan 15th to Feb 6th. If you are in need of anything you may contact me as early as possible. Have a nice week-end. Sincerely, Fr Joseph.
Sunday December 31—The Holy Family 8:00 a.m. Pro Populo
11:00 a.m. †Lorraine Plaszczak req. Jim, Judy & Luke Kozminske
