2 Introduction Today s readings speak to us about living as a family and a community. They confirm that both require work, generosity, patience and openness to the unexpected. We look to the Holy Family as a model for ourselves, and we learn with some relief that Jesus parents were as challenged and confounded as we often are. We can be like them because they were like us in so many ways.

Leo 8:30-11:30pm 8:30-9:45pm Knights of Columbus Breakfast after Mass - OLOL Hall Faith Formation - StJ My church is composed of people like me. I make it what it is. It will be friendly, if I am. Its pews will be filled, if I fill them. It will do great work, if I work. It will make generous gifts to many causes, if I am a generous giver. It will bring other people into its worship and fellowship, if I invite and bring them. It will be a church of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith, and a church of noble spirit, if I, who make it what it is, am filled with these same things. Therefore, with the help of God, I shall dedicate myself to the task of being all the things I want my church to be. AMEN.
