Page 2 The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary & Joseph Thank you! Living as Holy Families There are so many people who give of themselves for this community in a variety of ways. On behalf of the community, I want to thank all those women, men and children who took time out of their busy schedules to help clean and decorate the church for Christmas. We thank all those who worked with our children as they participated in the celebrations of our Advent and Christmas seasons. We are blessed with beautiful choirs. Working together, each of us with our own gifts and talents, we give birth to Christ within our community. What a grace our community is. Merry Christmas! Fr. Mike The Parish Office will be closed this week, December 28th through January 1st. We wish you a safe and happy New Year’s holiday! Start Your New Year off Right! The familiarity of family life can sometimes blind us to see the goodness in each other. This feast reminds us to open our eyes and be “astonished” at the goodness of each other rather than being anxious about our own concerns. Families grow in holiness when each person in the family—from parents to the smallest child and including anyone extended the hospitality of the family—is treated as a member of God’s family and, therefore, holy. This is challenging when sometimes all we can see is each other’s faults. It takes a great deal of dying to self to get beyond the normal, everyday annoyances that are part of family life and see others as holy and deserving of our honor, love, and respect. Mary and Joseph were not free from family struggles; after all, they lost Jesus on a trip! And when they found him they had to struggle to understand who he was and who he was meant to become. In doing so, they were able to help Jesus (and themselves) grow in wisdom, age, and grace. In this same love and care for each other we also grow in holiness as a family. —Living Liturgy Join us on New Year’ s Day, Friday, January 1st for Eucharistic Adoration from 8am-9am and then we celebrate the Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God with Mass at 9am. Please note: there is no 7:30am Mass that day. T H A N K December 27, 2015 Everyone is welcome to attend our Anointing of the Sick Mass Saturday, January 2nd 9:00am Y O U ! ! Many thanks to Encuentro Matrimonial and everyone who came to help clean the church. We appreciate all your hard work to help us prepare for Christmas! The Catechism of the Catholic Church says this about the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick: "The special grace of the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick has as its effects: the uniting of the sick person to the passion of Christ, for his own good and that of the whole Church; the strengthening, peace, and courage to endure in a Christian manner the sufferings of illness or old age; the forgiveness of sins, if the sick person was not able to obtain it through the sacrament of penance; the restoration of health, if it is conducive to the salvation of his soul; the preparation for passing over to eternal life" (CCC 1532).

In this week’s Gospel we hear the story of Mary and Joseph searching for Jesus for three days and finally finding him in the temple in Jerusalem. Our stained-glass window design is taken from a painting by German artist, Heinrich Hofmann, entitled “the Boy Jesus in the Temple.” It was painted in 1881. In a 1901 article published in the London Sunday Strand, author Kathleen Schlesinger said this about the painting: "There is a wonderful freshness about the picture of Christ in the Temple; a breath of youthfulness, high promise and hope pervades the composition and coloring. The chief interest of course centers in the boy Christ in his robes of white and gold; His eyes, fixed on nothing earthly, shine with supernatural light almost dazzling in its intensity." The artist, Hofmann, said this about the painting: “... I would like to note down a few comments on the figures in the painting of Christ in the Temple. In the old man who sits to the right I thought to depict someone who firmly clings to the authority of the law, and who is amazed by the new interpretations that the boy gives, while the sophist loves to raise captious objections...and the white haired gentleman only shows goodnatured delight in the wise boy. On the left you see the only one who really allows the divine words to flow into his heart (perhaps it is Nicodemus who later visited the Savior at night), and finally we have in the background the beardless man who turns away with contempt from the conversation his colleagues have with a child. About my conception of Jesus, the boy, I cannot talk - I believe that the way I have painted him expresses everything I tried to convey." The original painting is owned by the Art Gallery in Dresden, Germany. Hofmann’s studio painted a second copy of this painting that hung for many years in Mr. Hofmann's home and was sold to Mrs. Elise Drexler of San Francisco sometime around 1904. In 1933, it was offered for sale by Mrs. Drexler through Gump's in San Francisco and was purchased by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and given to The Riverside Church in New York City where it hangs today.

Un padre no quiere hijos iguales a sí mismo, sino hijos sabios y libres: “Seré feliz cada vez que te vea actuar con sabiduría, y me emocionaré cada vez que te escuche hablar con rectitud”. “Y para que pudieras ser así (sabio), te enseñé lo que no sabías, corregí errores que no veías. Te hice sentir un afecto profundo y al mismo tiempo discreto”. 2. Rigor y firmeza, antes que complicidad y protección. “Te di un testimonio de rigor y firmeza que tal vez no comprendías, cuando hubieses querido sólo complicidad y protección”. “Un padre sabe bien lo que cuesta transmitir esta herencia: cuánta cercanía, cuánta dulzura y cuánta firmeza. 3. Un padre presente en la familia, cercano a la esposa y sus hijos. Un padre presente en la familia: “que sea cercano a la esposa, para compartir todo, alegrías y dolores, cansancios y esperanzas. Y que sea cercano a los hijos en su crecimiento” Un padre presente siempre: “cuando juegan y cuando tienen ocupaciones, cuando son despreocupados y cuando están angustiados, cuando se expresan y cuando son taciturnos, cuando se lanzan y cuando tienen miedo, cuando dan un paso equivocado y cuando vuelven a encontrar el camino”. 4. Un padre presente no es un padre controlador. Porque los padres demasiado controladores anulan a los hijos, no los dejan crecer. 5. Un padre bueno es un padre paciente. El Papa recordó la parábola del "hijo pródigo", o mejor del "padre misericordioso". Los padres deben ser pacientes. Muchas veces no hay otra cosa que hacer más que esperar; rezar y esperar con paciencia, dulzura, magnanimidad y misericordia. 6. Sabe perdonar y no humilla, pero tampoco es débil o complaciente . “Un buen padre sabe esperar y sabe perdonar desde el fondo del corazón. Cierto, sabe también corregir con firmeza: no es un padre débil, complaciente, sentimental. El padre que sabe corregir sin humillar es el mismo que sabe proteger sin guardar nada para sí”. 7. “Sin la gracia que viene del Padre que está en los cielos, los padres pierden valentía y abandonan el campo. Pero los hijos necesitan encontrar a un padre que los espera cuando regresan de sus fracasos. 27 de diciembre, 2015 RETIRO DE CONFIRMACION Les recordamos que el retiro para los jóvenes que se confirmaran el 31 de mayo del 2016, será los días 29, 30 y 31 de enero.
