Thoughts From this Sunday’s Readings by Fr. John
Previous reflections can be found on his blog at
FrJohnMurphy.blogspot.com
Today we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and
Joseph. By Catholic standards this feast is relatively new, instituted
by Pope Leo XIII in 1892. Concerned by the breakdown of family life
at the end of the 19th century, Pope Leo XIII wanted to promote the
sacredness of family life and to present the Holy Family as the model
for all Christian Families. Pope Benedict XIV extended the Feast to
the whole Roman Church in 1921.
Family breakdown is as great a problem today as it was in 1892. In
fact, it probably is a far greater problem. The pressure on families
today sometimes seems overwhelming. The problem is so huge that
back in 2005 the US government initiated a Healthy Marriage Initiative with funding of $150 million each year. At the same time the US
Conference of Catholic Bishops launched the National Pastoral Initiative for Marriage to call attention to the meaning and value of married
life for the Church and for society. The crowning achievement of the
Initiative was the Bishops' 2009 pastoral letter, Marriage: Love and
Life in the Divine Plan.
And, just a few months ago our Holy Father, Pope Francis called a
Synod on The Vocation and Mission of the Family in the Church and
in the Contemporary World. What amazed me was the amount of
press coverage the Synod received. It seemed as if the whole world
The week I was reflecting on the Feast of the Holy Family, the Vatican released the English translation of the final document. It is available at: www.vatican.va/roman_curia/synod/documents/rc_synod_doc_
20151026_relazione-finale-xiv-assemblea_en.html . In the introduction our contemporary Church Leaders wrote, “Even amidst joys and
trials, the family is the primary and fundamental ‘school of humanity.’
Despite signs of a crisis, in various contexts, in the institution of the
family, the desire to form a family remains vibrant among the younger
generations.” Quoting from an address by Pope Francis in Philadelphia the Church Fathers write,” So great was his love that he [God]
began to walk with mankind, he began to walk alongside his people,
until the right time came and then he gave the greatest demonstration
of love: his Son. And where did he send his Son? To a palace, to a
city, to an office building? He sent him to a family. God came into the
world in a family. And he could do this because that family was a
family with a heart open to love, a family whose doors were
open.” (Francis, Address at the Feast of Families, Philadelphia,
27 September 2015).
When I consider the Holy Family as a model for all Christian families
I am astounded by their closeness to and faith in God who was the
center of their lives. God directed the lives of Mary, Joseph and Jesus.
They listened to God. They were obedient to his word and they obAlmana(h) Ministry. Small groups will be forming in J anuary served God’s commandments and laws. God centered families can

Reflexiones sobre las lecturas de este domingo del Padre Rico.
27 de diciembre 2015
Fiesta de la Sagrada Familia
Una Familia Sagrada:
A veces un sencillo cambio en el orden de las palabras nos ilumina un
aspecto de las cosas que no habíamos visto. Hoy celebramos a una familia
"sagrada", y, desde luego, lo primero que preguntamos es: "¿que no eran
sagradas todas las familias?", a lo cual Dios nos respondería prontamente:
"¡Por supuesto! Tal es mi designio, tal es mi deseo, tal es mi plan para el
mundo". La familia es sagrada porque nace de Dios. Es anterior al Estado
y a sus leyes, y por supuesto, va primero que los acuerdos entre los mismo
Estados o las conveniencias de las empresas o asociaciones humanas. De
Dios viene toda paternidad, nos enseña Pablo (Ef 3,15). Dar origen a la
vida humana es asemejarse demasiado a Dios, y por ello es preciso que la
paz, la bondad y la sabiduría de Dios abunden allí donde ya se hizo
presente su magnífico poder.
Honra a tu Padre:
Este mandamiento realmente despierta muchas preguntas. ¿Cómo es posible honrar a un papá que ha sido irresponsable, o injusto, o cruel, o que
simplemente ha desaparecido huyendo se sus responsabilidades mínimas?
Para responder necesitamos algunos criterios bíblicos. Ante todo, la Escritura jamás nos invita o permite que sea honrado lo que ofende a Dios.
Honrar al papá no es celebrar lo que él es simplemente porque él lo es.
Este mandamiento, como todos, por lo demás, requiere de nosotros luz, y
discernimiento. Así que, aunque en todo lo demás fallaren, es claro que en
el misterio de ser instrumentos de la vida hay siempre un misterio de
donación en que Dios se ha hecho presente, y por tanto requiere nuestra
gratitud y honra.
La Familia en el pensamiento de San Pablo:
La segunda lectura de hoy nos ayuda a situar la vida de familia en el conjunto del mensaje cristiano. Lo primero es que cada miembro de la familia se reconozca como "elegido" por Dios, sumergido en la gracia, bañado
por el perdón, fortalecido en la paz, iluminado por la Palabra, lleno de
motivos de gratitud y gozo. Sin esta base, la familia será pacto de intereses
no santuario del amor divino. Otro modo de decir esto es: en la medida en
que reconocemos que la gracia nos hermana en Dios y nos hace familia de
Dios, llegamos a ser familia humana. No pensemos entonces que la sola
intensidad de los sentimientos, así se trate de sentimientos muy poderosos
de pareja o de paternidad, basta: todo lo humano necesita ser sanado, y
todo lo que ha de ser sanado ha de serlo en Cristo Jesús. Sobre esta base
se comprende que en la familia hay un misterio de complementariedad que
es propio de la vida cristiana entera. ¿Qué es la familia, según este profundo planteamiento del apóstol? Es la expresión del amor cristiano sanando,
bendiciendo y fecundando los orígenes mismos de la vida humana. Amén.

WALKING TOWARD ETERNITY
8 Weeks on Sundays 8:45-10:15 AM
Begins January 24
LOCATION: Adult Faith Room
Putting Your Faith into Practice
Walking Toward Eternity is an inspiring series designed to help participants live their faith more fully. Daring to Walk the Walk, the first
series of Walking Toward Eternity, introduces seven key virtues and
outlines practical steps for living them out in daily life.
You will learn how to walk in: Love, Forgiveness, Humility,
Prayerfulness, Faithfulness, Sacrifice, Thankfulness
What is Walking with Purpose?
 Walking with Purpose is a Catholic Women’s Bible study
program.
 Walking with Purpose aims to bring women to a deeper
personal relationship with Jesus Christ by offering personal
study and small group discussion that link our everyday
challenges and struggles with the solutions given to us through
the teachings of Christ and the Catholic Church.
Personal Testimonies
 “I am truly blessed to be part of this wonderful group of
Christ-filled spiritual women. The Holy Spirit has been working
overtime in my life since I joined this group. They have helped
hold me up. I look forward every week to being with the “girls”.
We open our hearts up to each other.”
 “The women in our group are an amazing bond and strength
resource. The unconditional love that pours from the hearts of
women brought together in Christ is immeasurable. Without
WWP and by extension the ability to grow in my faith with these
women, I would not have had the spiritual ability to handle the
challenges this year has brought into my life. I have found joy
where there would have been none otherwise. Thank you.”
“Lord, Teach Me
To Pray” (LTMTP)
is a three-part
prayer series,
rooted in
Ignatian
spirituality and
designed to help
women and men
learn how to
pray. The three parts are taken in succession. Each part is a
prerequisite for the next part.
Part I, Praying Christian Virtues (12 weeks), introduces Ignatian
prayer and spirituality in the way that St. Ignatius himself
introduced people; i.e., by structuring their initial prayer
experience around the Christian Virtues. Part 1 is conducted
in a small group experience with two trained facilitators. Each
group will meet for two hours once a week for prayer, faith
sharing and introduction to the methods of Ignatian
prayer. Everyone will receive Scriptures on the virtues to use
daily at home for 15 minutes of private prayer.

In Honor of this Jubilee of Mercy we will offer
Wisdom & Works of Mercy
We will use: The One Thing is Three + You Did it to Me by Fr. Michael Gaitly
10 weeks
Mondays
11:15 AM -1:15 PM
Begins January 25
The Last Supper. Communion. The Great Feast.
Bread and Wine. The Holy Eucharist.
Jesus said “This is my Body” and “This is my
Blood.” Some say they’re merely symbols of
remembrance. Others say they’re really the Body
and Blood of Christ, but can’t explain how that’s
possible. The Eucharist is the center-point of the
Mass–but why?
The answers are here. Renowned teacher
Dr. Brant Pitre guides us through Scripture,
history, and Church teaching to illuminate the
wonder and miracle of the Eucharist. With deep
insight, Dr. Pitre gives a fresh perspective for
understanding the mystery that is the Eucharist.
This class begins with The One Thing is Three, which helps us understand
the concept of communio (communion) by explaining its three points:
Communion with the Trinity; Transforming Communion with Christ; and
the Mission of Communion.
Followed by Y ou Did it to Me, which not only helps readers identify
practical ways of living out the works of mercy, but helps them understand
a “scriptural approach” to mercy as well.
“It is my burning desire that during this Jubilee, the Christian people may
reflect on the corporal and spiritual works of mercy” (Pope Francis).

RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults): Helping you to live a Gospel inspired life in an increasingly secular world
Have you been coming to Mass for awhile and think, “what does it mean to be Catholic?” Are you
interested in finding out what Catholics really believe? Join us for Inquiry. Now might be the perfect time
to join us. Wednesdays, 6:30-8pm. All sessions are informal and completely commitment free.
Contact Joanne @678-466-1738; [email protected]
Today we celebrate the Feast of
the Holy Family: “Teach us the
sanctity of human love, show us
the value of family life, and
help us to live in peace with
all men”
(Alternate Opening Prayer Cycle C)
RCIA Classes resume January 6, 2016
Our RCIA classes in the New Year will center on the 7
Sacraments of the Catholic Church
“The seven sacraments touch all the stages and all the
important moments of Christian life: they give birth and
increase, healing and mission to the Christian’s life of
faith. There is thus a certain resemblance between the
stages of natural life and the stages of the spiritual life.”
