Events this Week Sunday Second Collection Solemnity of Mary Wednesday Thrift shop open from 9:30am-12:30pm Saturday Thrift shop open from 9:30am-12:30pm Sunday Second Collection Meditation for the Week: Today s Gospel invites families to welcome the light of hope that comes from the home of Nazareth, in which Jesus childhood unfolded in joy. The family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph is for each believer and especially for families an authentic school of the Gospel. Here we admire the fulfillment of the divine plan to make of the family a special community of life and love. Here we learn that every Christian nuclear family is called to be a domestic church, to make the Gospel virtues shine and become a leaven of good in society. The classic traits of the Holy Family are: reflection and prayer, mutual understanding and respect, and a spirit of sacrifice, work and solidarity. From the exemplary witness of the Holy Family, each family can find precious guidance for the style and choices of life, and can draw strength and wisdom for each day s journey. Mary and Joseph teach us to welcome children as a gift of God, to beget them and raise them, cooperating wonderfully in the work of the Creator and giving to the world, in each child, a new smile. It is in a united family that children bring their existence to maturity, living out the meaningful and effective experience of freely given love, tenderness, reciprocal respect, mutual understanding, forgiveness and joy.

THE HOLY FAMILY OF JESUS, MARY AND JOSEPH First Reading: Sirach 3:2-6, 12-14 Sirach emphasizes the importance of honoring one s parents. He explains that spiritual riches will come to those who are kind to their mother and father. Second Reading: Colossians 3:12-21 Paul advises us to treat each other with kindness and mercy and to forgive as God forgives us. His words remind families to always love and respect one another and let Christ s peace reign in their hearts and in their homes. Gospel: Luke 2:41-52 When Jesus was twelve years old, the Holy Family traveled to Jerusalem to celebrate the feast. Jesus did not return with the company. Instead, he stayed in Jerusalem, sitting among the teachers while amazing them with his understanding and questions. When found by his concerned parents, Jesus reminded them that he must be in the house of his Father. Returning together, Mary kept these things in her heart.

FIESTA DE LA SAGRADA FAMILIA DE JESÚS, MARÍA Y JOSÉ Una de las dos opciones que se nos dan para la primera lectura es de un pasaje de Sirácide y tiene una frase que pudiera servirles de consuelo a aquellos que se han separado, aunque sea un poco, de sus padres: El bien hecho al padre no quedará en el olvido y se tomará en cuenta de tus pecados. En algún momento pudiéramos haber tratado a nuestros padres de una manera que ahora lamentamos. Tal vez aún nos sea difícil hacer el esfuerzo que sabemos debemos hacer. Quizás algún resentimiento nuble nuestra relación. Pero Sirácide nos da esperanza, ya que cualquier acción buena que hagamos en cualquier momento puede expiar cualquier animosidad o negligencia anterior. Sería irrealista pensar que toda separación entre hijos y padres puede transformarse en armonía. Sin embargo, no podemos ignorar el poder del perdón y los efectos que tiene en las personas involucradas. San Pablo le pide a los colosenses que se perdonen mutuamente, así como el Señor los ha perdonado. Cuando perdonamos a aquellos que nos han hecho daño compartimos ese gran don de Dios, que continuamente recibimos del Señor. En el Evangelio encontramos a Jesús en el templo, en la casa de su Padre, en vez de haberse ido enseguida con su madre y su padre adoptivo a su hogar de Nazaret. De una manera diferente muchos niños se ven obligados a dividirse entre dos diferentes hogares. Cuando los padres están divorciados o separados los hijos tienen dos hogares distintos. Cuando Jesús le dijo a sus padres, No sabían que debo ocuparme en las cosas de mi Padre? ni María ni José lo entendieron. Pero María guardó esto en su corazón. Hagamos nosotros lo mismo, aun cuando no podamos apreciar la perspectiva de nuestros hijos.
