“We have come together in our common faith as
God’s Holy People. Strengthened by the
Word of God and nourished by His Sacraments,
we step forth in faith to love and serve one another.”
“Nosotros nos hemos unido por nuestra fe en común, como
el Pueblo Santo de Dios. Fortalecidos por la Palabra de Dios y
alimentados por Los Sacramentos, damos un paso en favor de
nuestra fe al amarnos y servirnos los unos a los otros.”
Today we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family
It teaches us about Jesus, Mary, and Joseph - and about
each one of us and our own families.
From antiquity the Christian family has rightly been
called a "domestic church." In our life within the
Christian family, Jesus Christ is truly present.
However, we need the eyes to see Him at work, the
ears to hear His instruction and the hearts to make a
place for Him to dwell. In our family we can learn the
way of selfless love by enrolling in the School of
Nazareth.
Jesus spent 30 of his 33 earthly years in Nazareth.
Some spiritual writers have called these the "hidden
years", because there is so little written about them in
the Gospel narratives. However, they reveal the
holiness of ordinary life and show us how it becomes
extraordinary for those baptized into Christ.

La Familia Se Ocupa De Los Asuntos De Dios
WENDELL, NC
The Family Tends To God’s Things
La Sagrada Familia
The Holy Family
(Eclesiástico 3:2-6, 12-14; Colosenses 3:12-21; Lucas 2:41-52)
(Sirach 3:2-6, 12-14; Colossians 3:12-21; Luke 2:41-52)
Hay un momento difícil para los padres, en todas las familias del
mundo, y es el de dejar a los hijos tomar sus propias decisiones
y seguir sus propios caminos. En un país distinto del de nuestro
origen a menudo esto se complica incluso mas cuando tememos
que nuestros hijos se alejen de los valore y las tradiciones que
tanto queremos. Podemos tener tendencia a proteger en exceso
o a dejarnos llevar de la corriente de la sociedad que nos rodea.
La verdad es que la línea entre proteger debidamente a nuestros
hijos y dejarlos vivir su vida es muy fina. Se hable mucho hoy
en día de crear una “cultura vocacional”, es decir, de tener un
ambiente religioso, familiar y social en que se consideren las
llamadas de Dios y en que la familia anime a los jóvenes a
buscar sus caminos, y luego respete y apoye sus decisiones. No
es muy fácil.
There comes a difficult time in the life of every parent around
the world and it is allowing our children to make their own
decisions and follow their own ways. In a country that is not
our native home, things can often become even more
complicated when our children grow away from the values and
traditions we highly treasure. We may have the tendency to be
overly protective or go with the flow of the society that
surrounds us. The truth is that the line between properly
protecting our children and allowing them to live their own life
is very thin. We talk a lot today about creating a vocation
culture, in other words a religious, family, and social
environment in which the calls from God are considered and
where the family encourages the children to follow his ways,
and later respect and support their decisions. This is not very
easy.
A menudo los padres creen que saben lo que es mejor para sus
hijos; o, comprensiblemente, quieren que sus hijos triunfen y
tengan éxito—según los estándares de los padres. Lo importante
aquí es escuchar con atención y apertura a los deseos y
posibilidades mas intimas de los propios jóvenes. Ayudarlos a
ver como los podría estar llamando Dios, aunque no sea
exactamente lo que nosotros habríamos sonado para ellos en
términos materiales. Es lo mismo que tuvieron que hacer María
y José, buscando desesperadamente a Jesús por Jerusalén. La
respuesta de Jesús, sencilla y clara, es la respuesta que
tendríamos que esperar y aceptar de nuestros propios hijos:
“Estaba ocupándome de los asuntos de Dios: estaba haciendo lo
que Dios quiere de mi. Solo así podrán ser felices y estar
totalmente realizados y encontrar una vida plena. Solo así
sabremos que la familia ha cumplido efectivamente su cometido.
Para la reflexión ~ ¿Abrigo sueños para mis hijos, pero no he
comprobado se es lo mismo que quieren ellos? ¿Intento a veces
convencerles de mi visión, aunque ellos expresen su deseo de ir
por otro lado? ¿Respetarla la vocación de dedicación total en
vida religioso, sacerdocio o compromiso laico de alguno de mis
hijos?
Nuestra Parroquia
Sometimes parents believe they know what is best for their
children or understandably want them to triumph and succeed—
but according to their own standards. The important thing is to
listen carefully and be opened to young people’s most intimate
desires and possibilities. Helping them to see what God might
be calling them to do, even if it is not exactly what we would
have dreamed for them in material terms. It is the same things
that Mary and Joseph endured while desperately looking for
Jesus in Jerusalem. The response we would wait for and accept
from our own children: “I was tending to God’s things.” In
other words, I was doing what God wants from me. Only then
can they be completely happy, fulfilled and have a full life.
Only then can we know that the family has successfully
completed what they were entrusted with.
For Reflection ~ Do I harbor dreams for my children, but
have not confirmed if this is what they want for themselves?
So I try to convince them of my vision, even if they express the
desire to do something else? Would I respect the vocation to
dedicate their life to religious life, priesthood, or lay
commitment from any of my children?
