THE 4TH DAY OF CHRISTMAS 2014-2015 IS THE FEAST OF THE HOLY FAMILY OF JESUS MARY + JOSEPH..............
Today's 4th Day of Christmas is the Feast of the Holy Family. The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, of Nazareth who are the central persons in the Nativity of the Lord that is Christmas. They exemplify the values of Love and Fidelity to the core experiences of vital, close, interpersonal, relationships as mothers, fathers, and children, despite the challenges we face in living them out. The unconditional commitment and constancy of the Holy Family stands in stark contrast to the dysfunction that besets so many human families in our time. Ab lack of commitment to marriage, to the concerted and properly balanced upbringing of children rightly formed and nurtured, rather than used as pawns of divisive and divorced parents, communicating openly and honestly not in self interest only, but on behalf of the mutual well being; these are some of the attributes all our families would do well to emulate. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, show us the way to become holy families of Faith, Hope, and Love. Like them our families also require a truly moral dimension, An experience of Belief in God and the practices of prayer, spirituality, worship. and ministry, that brings a higher power and greater purpose to our lives in maintaining and honoring our Family relationships. How you and your loved build a solid, loving, committed, Family determines whether you are the holy family God invites you to be, or a dysfunctional family that betrays the meaning and example of Christmas and the Holy Family of Nazareth. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, Pray For Us, that All Families Become Holy Families..............Fr. Troy David
