4 Marthoma Sleeha Syro Malabar Cathedral Parish Bulletin 04 December 2016 Pope Francis' teaching on the family He reflected on the family in the light of scripture and tradition, social realities and challenges, current roles and future possibilities. In this section highlighting some main features of the Holy Father s teaching on the family. The Incarnation of the Son of God opens a new beginning in the universal history of man and woman. And this new beginning happens within a family, in Nazareth. Jesus was born in a family. ( ) God chose to come into the world in a human family, which He himself formed. ( ) A few informations for your kind attention about Chrismas carol Number of potential wards for Caroling : Carol start date : Sun. Nov. 27, Carol Ends : Mon. Dec. 19, Prize for the highest Amt. collected ward : Ever Rolling Trophy 4 There is a close link between the hope of a people and the harmony among generations. The joy of children causes the parents hearts to beat and reopens the future. Children are the joy of the family and of society. They are not a question of reproductive biology, nor one of the many ways to fulfill oneself, much less a possession of their parents... No. Children are a gift, they are a gift: understood? Children are a gift. Each one is unique and irreplaceable; and at the same time unmistakably linked to his/her roots. ( ) In the family, among siblings, human coexistence is learned, how one must live in society. Perhaps we are not always aware of it, but the family itself introduces fraternity into the world! ( ) First of all children remind us that we all, in the first years of life, were completely dependent upon the care and benevolence of others. The Son of God was not spared this stage. It is the mystery that we contemplate every year at Christmas. The Nativity Scene is the icon which communicates this reality in the simplest and most direct way. ( ) Man and woman are the image and likeness of God. But man and woman as a couple who are the image of God. ( ) Sin generates distrust and division between man and woman. Their relationship will be undermined by a thousand forms of abuse and subjugation, misleading seduction and humiliating ignorance, even the most dramatic and violent kind. And history bears the scar. Let us think, for example, of those negative excesses of patriarchal cultures. Think of the many forms of male dominance whereby the woman was considered second class. Think of the exploitation and the commercialization of the female body in the current media culture. And let us also think of the recent epidemic of distrust, skepticism, and even hostility that is spreading in our culture in particular an understandable distrust from women regarding a covenant between man and woman that is capable, at the same time, of refining the intimacy of communion and of guarding the dignity of difference. If we do not find a surge of respect for this covenant, capable of protecting new generations from distrust and indifference, children will come into the world ever more uprooted from the mother s womb. The social devaluation for the stable and generative alliance between man and woman is certainly a loss for everyone. We must return marriage and the family to the place of honour! ( ) CHRISTMAS CAROL 2016 CRIB COMPETITION 2016 This year s Crib competition theme are : 1) Message, 2) Effort, 3)Art work Please select only one crib (no more than one) for final evaluation from each ward out of 14 wards.
