Our holy families, Jesus, Mary and Joseph's Holy Family and God's Family: Holy Family

Listen to the homily here.

Notes:

During this season, I enjoy seeing the pictures via cards and letters
·      First because I do not use facebook
·      Second, it is powerful to see my family and friends offering fruits to the world with their children!
John-Paul
·      Mass kit…every time he sees me
·      Mom and Dad are teaching about Jesus Christ, Mass, prayers, etc.
Holy Family
·      Mary, Joseph and Jesus
o   Christmas: Christ Mass
o   Joseph protecting them
o   Then the joyful mysteries: presentation and finding
·      When they had fulfilled all the prescriptions of the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth.  The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favor of God was upon him.”
·      A concrete taste between humanity and divinity
o   Jesus is like a bridge between the Holy Family on earth, and the Holy Family—the Trinity in heaven
How is your family doing?
·      How can it be “holy”
o   Which means “set apart”
o   Are you “set apart” from our society?
·      Brothers and sisters: Put on, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another, 
if one has a grievance against another; as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do.”
