Lời khuyên của Đức Bênêđictô XVI để xây dựng mô t gia đình tốt hơn "Ơn gọi yêu nhau là một điều tuyệt đẹp... Đức Thánh Cha Bênêđictô XVI nổi tiếng là một thần học gia chiêm nghiệm lỗi lạc, mỗi câu từ của ngài đều chất chứa những suy tư sâu sắc cho cuộc sống, xứng đáng được ta đọc đi đọc lại cho đến khi thấm nhuần. Đây là một giáo huấn từ bài giảng của ngài ở Đại Hội Gia Đình Thế Giới vào năm Tuy đã nhiều năm trôi qua, nó vẫn xứng đáng được đọc và chiêm niệm lại. Cầu xin ơn học biết - không phải để làm những chuyện kỳ vĩ hay hoàn thành những kế hoạch lớn lao - nhưng là để đón nhận tình yêu của Chúa. Thật đơn giản, nhưng đầy sức biến đổi. "Ơn gọi của anh chị em thật không dễ dàng để sống, thật sự không dễ, trong bối cảnh ngày nay, nhưng ơn gọi yêu nhau là một điều tuyệt đẹp - đó là động lực duy nhất thật sự có thể hình thành vũ trụ, hình thành thế giới." Đức Giáo Hoàng chỉ ra một số cách để thăng tiến tình yêu gia đình: - duy trì quan hệ thân thiết với Chúa và tham gia vào đời sống Giáo Hội - nuôi dưỡng đối thoại - chấp nhận quan điểm khác biệt - sẵn sàng phục vụ và kiên nhẫn với lầm lỗi của người khác - có khả năng tha thứ và xin tha thứ - vượt qua mọi mâu thuẫn cách khéo léo và khiêm tốn - biết cách dạy dỗ con cái - hoà đồng với hàng xóm, chú ý tới người nghèo - có trách nhiệm với xã hội "Đó là những nhân tố giúp xây dựng gia đình. Hãy mạnh mẽ thực hành những điều đó, và với lòng bác ái yêu thương người khác trong sự kết hợp với ân sủng của Chúa, anh chị em sẽ trở thành những quyển Tin Mừng sống, những Hội Thánh tại gia." Theo Aleteia - Gioakim Nguyễn

8 FINANCIAL UPDATE FISCAL YEAR JULY 1, JUNE 30, 2018 Budgeted Weekly: $16,779 Collection for 3/11/18: $17,622 Variance: $843 Budget: Actual: Variance: $633,823 $637,713 $3,890 CMA Goal: $137,267 Pledged: $106,195 Percentage: 78% Donors: 605 REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION Generally speaking, after age 70 and ½, you are required to take an annual withdrawal from your retirement investments. It s called a Required Minimum Distribution or RMD. If you allow your trustee to direct part or all of your RMD directly to a charitable organization like your church, the RMD would not increase your taxable income. And it would not increase the taxability of your Social Security benefits. It could benefit both you and your church if you had your trustee send part or all of your RMD to Holy Family Parish.

9 SUNDAY READINGS - March 25, Palm Sunday 1st Reading - Isaiah 50:4-7 2nd Reading - Philippians 2:6-11 Gospel - Mark 15:1-39 In many respects the period from the Last Supper through the Crucifixion, looking at it from the lives of the disciples, could be called The Story of Good Intentions. In this week s Gospel reading there are several examples of people making an initial step to do the right thing, however, in most cases their good intentions are abandoned. Two people who should be commended for not abandoning their good intentions are the woman from Bethany who anointed Jesus head with costly oil in spite of social pressure, and Joseph of Arimathea who sought and prepared Jesus body for burial in the face of persecution and opposition. Their love, courage and devotion to Jesus impelled them to follow through on their good intentions. The characteristics of these two stand out in contrast to the other examples seen in this passage where good intentions were abandoned either because of the weakness of their flesh or the fear of others opinions and reactions. For example, Peter, James, and John fully intended to watch with Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane as He prayed and agonized about the coming sacrifice He was to make. But their good intentions went awry as they surrendered to the desires of their flesh for sleep. We see in these disciples lives, images of ourselves. Often our love for Jesus has compelled us to make some commitment of heart, only to discover soon after that our good intentions have been abandoned due to our human weakness, or due to concern about what others think. Fortunately, we also see ourselves occasionally follow through on our good intentions, overcoming weakness and fear with love s resolve and courage. Looking at Jesus life we can find both a compelling example, and strength to turn more of our good intentions into accomplished deeds. Jesus fully knew what was ahead for Him; the betrayal, abandonment, suffering and death, which we know as Christ s Passion. He had every good intention to follow through and complete the most important act of humanity, and for humanity, the securing of our salvation and release from the chains of sin and death. But it was not without struggle. Humanly speaking, His flesh did not desire what was ahead any more than ours would have. Emotionally, He knew it was His friends and loved ones He would be leaving in death, and that spiritually this would be a battle against Satan and the forces of evil. Not exactly something to anticipate with joy. However, in the face of this struggle He did not abandon His good intention, but in love and courage followed through. We can learn a valuable lesson from our Savior when we reflect on the agony of Gethsemane. As Jesus prayed He was able to pour out His apprehension and articulate His preference not to have to go through this ordeal. As He did so, Jesus willingness, resolve and courage were strengthened, and He was able to arise with perfect calm, set His face like a flint toward the path He was being asked to tread, and follow through on His good intention. That same source of strength is available to us, and we will find it in the same process, going to our knees in prayer to a loving Father for grace and help in time of need. Gethsemane was the hour in which Jesus human heart and mind experienced the ultimate odium of the sin He was to bear as His own before the judging and avenging countenance of God There Jesus accepted the Father s will and surrendered His own. Perhaps during this coming Holy Week, when on Good Friday we are asked, Will you watch with me but one hour? we will be reminded that it is in union with Christ in prayer that we will find strength to also do the Father s will, turning our good intentions into reality.
