Tis’ the Season
DECEMBER 29th 2019 HOLY FAMILY OF JESUS, MARY & JOSEPH
Introduction Today’s readings speak to us about living as a family and a community. They confirm that both require work, generosity, patience and openness to the unexpected. We look to the Holy Family as a model for ourselves, and we learn — with some relief — that Jesus’ parents were as challenged and confounded as we often are. We can be like them because they were like us in so many ways. Prayer of the Faithful We pray now for all families and for all who attempt to live lovingly together. For the church that we may respect, honor and provide models of support for all families, in every culture throughout the world, we pray:
For families of every configuration struggling to love and support one another; and for organizations, professions and ministries dedicated to helping them, we pray:
For families torn apart by violence, illness, drugs, poverty or politics and for the patience and forbearance to deal with and accept our families as they are, we pray:
For families who have given their children to the greater good through the military, law enforcement or other dangerous professions, we pray:
For those working to strengthen neighborhoods or communities fraught with division, may they demonstrate wisdom, compassion and kindness, we pray:
For those among us who have lost their families for whatever reason; for those who feel their families are not accepted by others; and for those who judge others’ families, we pray: Presider God of love, we are grateful that your Son, Jesus, was born into a simple, humble family. Your love of families inspires us to forgive and care for our own and to extend ourselves to others that need our support. For this, we seek the guidance of the Holy Family and we pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Meus olhos viram a tua salvação!'
Domingo da Sagrada Família – Ecl 3,3-7.14-17a; Sl 128(127); Col 3,12-21; Lucas 2,41-52
O evangelho deste domingo chama a nossa atenção para a relação de Jesus com o Pai, sinalizando que sua missão ultrapassa os limites da família a que pertence. Aos 12 anos, tendo atingido a maturidade ele vai em peregrinação a Jerusalém. Após o término da festa, permanece em Jerusalém e os pais voltam para procurá-lo. Depois de três dias, o encontram no templo, sentado entre os mestres da Lei, participando ativamente do ensinamento. As pessoas ficavam maravilhadas com a sabedoria de Jesus. Ao vê- -lo, Maria disse: Filho, por que agiste assim conosco? A resposta de Jesus é um anúncio de sua identidade: Por que me procuravam? Não sabeis que devo estar na casa de meu Pai? (v.49). O Filho está envolvido com as coisas do Pai, pois foi enviado para realizar a sua vontade. Jesus desce com os pais para Nazaré e era obediente a eles. Maria guardava todas estas coisas no coração (v.51). Como discípula, ela conserva os acontecimentos para compreender a missão do Filho. Jesus ia crescendo em sabedoria, idade e graça diante de Deus e dos homens (v.52), seguindo as etapas normais do crescimento humano. A 1ª leitura orienta as relações familiares, lembrando aos filhos o dever de honrar pai e mãe, conforme ensina o quarto mandamento (cf. Ex 20,12; Dt 5,16). No salmo, a fidelidade aos ensinamentos do Senhor leva a trilhar os seus caminhos de felicidade. Que o Senhor te abençoe cada dia de tua vida. A 2ª leitura exorta a revestir-se das virtudes e atitudes essenciais para seguir o caminho da vida nova. Coloca o amor como vínculo da perfeição, pois leva a formar um só corpo em Cristo, solidificado por sua palavra.
A Sagrada Família de Nazaré cumpre seus compromissos religiosos e ilumina as relações entre pais e filhos, sendo modelo para todos os lares. Maria conserva no coração a palavra e os acontecimentos, acolhendo com fé o plano de amor do Pai que se revela no Filho..
