My Dear Parishioners,
Feast of the Holy Family
December 27, 2015
Today, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Holy Family: the Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. It was an
awesome event my dear friends, that God the Father chose His Son to be born in a human family. Think about the
trust that God the Father put in Joseph and Mary, when he entrusted his Only Begotten Son to them! Think about
the kind of father and mother they were!
My dear friends the life of the family is rooted in the unconditional love of God, as witnessed by the Holy Family.
The family and as a result the institution of Marriage, have been under grave attacks, throughout the world and in
our country. They are a lot of people who want and who are trying very hard to make us believe, that a family can
also be made of two moms or two dads. Indeed, my dear friends, our beloved and belated Holy Father Pope Saint
John Paul II, in his Apostolic Letter “Rosarium Virginis Mariae”, “On the Most Holy Rosary”, which he wrote in
2002, asked us to pray the Rosary for families because of the attack on the family:
“A similar need for commitment and prayers arises in relation to another critical contemporary issue:
‘the family’, the primary cell of society, increasingly menaced by forces of disintegration on both the
ideological and practical planes, so as to make us fear for the future of this fundamental and
indispensable institution and, with it, for the future of society as a whole. The revival of the Rosary in
Christian families, within the context of a broader pastoral ministry to the family, will be an effective
aid to countering the devastating effects of this crisis typical of our age.” (Rosarium Virginis Mariae ¶
6).
Indeed my dear friends how true are those words from Pope St. John Paul II, today! We are facing a crisis in
society, concerning the divine institution of Marriage, and we must be vigilant in standing firm in our commitment
to helping families, and defending the institution of Marriage that has been established by God.
As you know my dear friends, on June 26 of this year, the U.S. Supreme Court in a decision of 5 to 4, legalized
same sex marriage in our country, “a tragic error that harms the common good and most vulnerable among us,” as
stated by Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz of Louisville, Kentucky, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic
Bishops, in his statement released on that same day.
As you may recall my dear friends, three years ago on the Feast of the Holy Family, the United States Conference
of Catholic Bishops called for a nationwide effort to advance a movement for Life, Marriage, and Religious Liberty
through prayer, penance and sacrifice. This call to prayer was prompted by unprecedented challenges to the
Church and the nation, particularly the HHS Mandate and current trends in government and culture toward
redefining Marriage. This Call to Prayer for life, Marriage and Religious Liberty had five components: 1)- Monthly
Eucharistic Holy Hours in cathedrals and parishes; 2)-Daily Rosary by families and individuals; 3)-Special Prayers
of the Faithful at all Masses; 4)- Fasting and abstinence from meat on Fridays; 5)- A Fortnight for Freedom in
June /July 2013, and this year June/July 2016.
My dear friends, as we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family today on this Jubilee Year of Mercy, and as we begin
the 2016 New Year this coming Friday January 1, the Solemnity of Mary Mother of God, may we have recourse to
our dear Heavenly Mother, as we celebrate her Motherhood! More than ever, we need her maternal care and her
maternal protection for families and the institution of Marriage!
Let us implore God’s Mercy and pray to Our Lady, the Mother of God and our Mother, the Mother of Mercy, for
the protection of Life (especially Life in the womb), Marriage and Religious Liberty! Please pray the Rosary
everyday throughout the year!
May the Lord, the Prince of peace, the Son of Mary and Joseph, bless you all with peace, joy, love, and may he
also bless you with a deep renewal of your Catholic Faith throughout this New Year and this Year of Mercy!
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016!!!¡FELIZ AÑO NUEVO 2016!!! BONNE ET HEUREUSE ANNÉE 2016!!!
Love,
Reverend Msgr. Beaubrun Ardouin (Msgr. Beau), Pastor

“See what love the Father has given us that we should be called children of God; and so we are.” (1
JOHN 3:1)
During this season of giving, let us remember the most important gift we have received – being children of God.
As God’s children, it’s important that we express our love for others as well. Tell your spouse, children and other family
members and friends that you love them, frequently.

PRAYER OF POPE
FRANCIS FOR THE
JUBILEE
Lord Jesus Christ,
you have taught us to
be merciful like the
heavenly Father, and
have told us that whoever sees you
sees Him. Show us your face and we
will be saved. Your loving gaze
freed Zacchaeus and Matthew from
being enslaved by money; the
adulteress and Magdalene from
seeking happiness only in created
things; made Peter weep after his
betrayal, and assured Paradise to the
repentant thief. Let us hear, as if
addressed to each one of us, the
words that you spoke to the
Samaritan woman: “If you knew the
gift of God!”
You are the visible face of the
invisible Father, of the God who
manifests his power above all by
forgiveness and mercy: let the
Church be your visible face in the
world, its Lord risen and glorified.
You willed that your ministers
would also be clothed in weakness
in order that they may feel
compassion for those in ignorance
and error: let everyone who
approaches them feel sought after,
loved, and forgiven by God.
Send your Spirit and consecrate
every one of us with its anointing,
so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be
a year of grace from the Lord,
and your Church, with renewed
enthusiasm, may bring good news to
the poor, proclaim liberty to
captives and the oppressed, and
restore sight to the blind.
We ask this through the intercession
of Mary, Mother of Mercy, you who
live and reign with the Father and
the Holy Spirit for ever and ever.
Amen.
Oración oficial para el
Jubileo
de
la
Misericordia
Señor Jesucristo, tú
nos has enseñado a
ser misericordiosos
como el Padre del
cielo, y nos has dicho que
quien te ve, lo ve también a Él.
Muéstranos tu rostro y obtendremos
la salvación. Tu mirada llena de
amor liberó a Zaqueo y a Mateo de
la esclavitud del dinero; a la
adúltera y a la Magdalena del
buscar la felicidad solamente en
una creatura; hizo llorar a Pedro
luego de la traición, y aseguró el
Paraíso al ladrón arrepentido. Haz
que cada uno de nosotros escuche
como propia la palabra que dijiste a
la samaritana: ¡Si conocieras el don
de Dios!
Tú eres el rostro visible del Padre
invisible, del Dios que manifiesta su
omnipotencia sobre todo con el
perdón y la misericordia: haz que,
en el mundo, la Iglesia sea el rostro
visible de Ti, su Señor, resucitado y
glorioso. Tú has querido que
también tus ministros fueran
revestidos de debilidad para que
sientan sincera compasión por los
que se encuentran en la ignorancia
o en el error: haz que quien se
acerque a uno de ellos se sienta
esperado, amado y perdonado por
Dios.
Manda tu Espíritu y conságranos a
todos con su unción para que el
Jubileo de la Misericordia sea un
año de gracia del Señor y tu Iglesia
pueda, con renovado entusiasmo,
llevar la Buena Nueva a los pobres
proclamar la libertad a los
prisioneros y oprimidos y restituir
la vista a los ciegos.
Te lo pedimos por intercesión de
María, Madre de la Misericordia, a
ti que vives y reinas con el Padre y
el Espíritu Santo por los siglos de
los siglos.
Amén.
Prière officielle
pour le Jubilé
de la
miséricorde
Seigneur
JésusChrist, toi qui nous
as appris à être miséricordieux
comme le Père céleste, et nous as
dit que te voir, c’est Le voir.
Montre-nous ton visage, et nous
serons sauvés. Ton regard rempli
d’amour a libéré Zachée et
Matthieu de l’esclavage de
l’argent, la femme adultère et
Madeleine de la quête du bonheur
à travers les seules créatures ; tu
as fait pleurer Pierre après son
reniement, et promis le paradis au
larron repenti. Fais que chacun de
nous écoute cette parole dite à la
Samaritaine comme s’adressant à
nous : Si tu savais le don de Dieu !
Tu es le visage visible du Père
invisible, du Dieu qui manifesta sa
toute-puissance par le pardon et la
miséricorde : fais que l’Église soit,
dans le monde, ton visage visible,
toi son Seigneur ressuscité dans
la gloire. Tu as voulu que tes
serviteurs soient eux aussi
habillés de faiblesse pour ressentir
une vraie compassion à l’égard de
ceux qui sont dans l’ignorance et
l’erreur : fais que quiconque
s’adresse à l’un d’eux se sente
attendu, aimé, et pardonné par
Dieu.
Envoie ton Esprit et consacrenous tous de son onction pour que
le Jubilé de la Miséricorde soit une
année de grâce du Seigneur, et
qu’avec
un
enthousiasme
renouvelé, ton Église annonce
aux pauvres la bonne nouvelle
aux prisonniers et aux opprimés la
liberté, et aux aveugles qu’ils
retrouveront la vue.
Nous te le demandons par Marie,
Mère de la Miséricorde, à toi qui
vis et règnes avec le Père et le
Saint Esprit, pour les siècles des
siècles.
Amen.
