Conversion and Discipleship for the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City,” and
Pastoral Plan lays out the vision for the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City
through 2030. Read the letter and plan or download a copy at

THE HOLY FAMILY OF JESUS, MARY AND JOSEPH
During the Octave of Christmas, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Holy
Family. With Jesus, Mary and Joseph, we learn how to love, how to serve
each other and especially how to pray. The home of Jesus in Nazareth
was a school of prayer. Our homes should reflect this reality. Listen to what
Pope Benedict XVI said about the Home of Jesus. "The house of Nazareth
is a school of prayer where we learn to listen, to meditate, to penetrate
the deepest meaning of the manifestation of the Son of God, drawing our
example from Mary, Joseph and Jesus. The Holy Family is an icon of the
domestic Church, which is called to pray together. The family is the first
school of prayer where, from their infancy, children learn to perceive God
thanks to the teaching and example of their parents. An authentically
Christian education cannot neglect the experience of prayer. If we do
not learn to pray in the family, it will be difficult to fill this gap later. I would,
then, like to invite people to rediscover the beauty of praying together as
a family, following the school of the Holy Family of Nazareth". Please
Parents, pray with your children every single day. Make your homes
sanctuaries of prayer. Pray in the morning. Pray at all meals. Pray the
rosary together. Pray before you go to bed. Pray at all times with Jesus,
Mary and Joseph. We ask the Holy Family to teach us, inspire us and help
us to not be afraid to create an atmosphere in our homes that always
seeks an encounter with God in prayer.
What Child is this Who laid to rest On Mary's lap is sleeping? Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet, While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary
Carta del Pastor
Solemnidad de la Sagrada Familia
Durante la octava de Navidad, celebramos la solemnidad de la Sagrada Familia. Con Jesús, María y José,
aprendemos cómo amar, cómo servirnos los unos a los otros y en especial cómo orar. La casa de Jesús en
Nazaret era una escuela de oración. Nuestras casas deben reflejar esta realidad. Escuche lo que el Papa
Benedicto XVI dijo sobre el Hogar de Jesús. "La casa de Nazaret es una escuela de oración donde aprendemos
a escuchar, a meditar, entender el significado más profundo de la manifestación del Hijo de Dios, copiando el
ejemplo de María, José y Jesús. La Sagrada Familia es un icono de la Iglesia doméstica, llamada a rezar juntos.
La familia es la primera escuela de oración donde, desde su infancia, los niños aprenden a percibir a Dios
gracias a la enseñanza y el ejemplo de sus padres. Una educación auténticamente cristiana no puede
descuidar la experiencia de la oración. Si no aprendemos a orar en la familia, será difícil llenar este vacío más
tarde. Entonces, me gustaría invitarlos a redescubrir la belleza de orar juntos como familia, siguiendo la escuela
de la Sagrada Familia de Nazaret". Padres, oren con sus hijos todos los días. Hagan de sus hogares santuarios de
oración. Oren por la mañana. Oren en todas las comidas. Recen el rosario juntos. Oren antes de ir a la cama.
Oren en todo momento con Jesús, María y José. Pidamos a la Sagrada Familia que nos enseñe, nos inspire y nos
ayude a no tener miedo de crear una atmósfera en nuestros hogares que siempre este en la búsqueda del
encuentro con Dios en la oración.

Dear Father in Heaven,
Thank You for giving us the gift of Jesus,
the greatest Christmas gift of all. Please help me to
remember why we celebrate,
even as we eat Christmas cookies and open presents.
I am very thankful for the real reason for the season and,
without Jesus, we wouldn't have Christmas!

Lighting the Way
Message of Pope Francis for World Day of Peace 2020 (part 1 of 5):
Peace, a journey of hope …
Peace is a great and precious value, the object of our hope and the aspiration of the entire human family. … Hope is…the virtue that inspires us and keeps us moving forward, even when obstacles seem insurmounta-ble. …
The terrible trials of internal and international conflicts, often aggravated by ruthless acts of violence, have an enduring effect on the body and soul of humanity. Every war is a form of fratricide that destroys the human fami-ly’s innate vocation to brotherhood. War, as we know, often begins with the inability to accept the diversity of others, which then fosters attitudes of aggrandizement and domination born of selfishness and pride, hatred and the desire to caricature, exclude and even destroy the other. War is fueled by a perversion of relationships, by hegemonic ambitions, by abuses of power, by fear of others and by seeing diversity as an obstacle. And these, in turn, are aggravated by the experi-ence of war. …
Every threatening situation feeds mistrust and leads people to withdraw into their own safety zone. Mistrust and fear weaken relationships and increase the risk of violence, creating a vicious circle that can never lead to a rela-tionship of peace. Even nuclear deterrence can only produce the illusion of security. We cannot claim to maintain stability in the world through the fear of annihilation, in a volatile situation, suspend-ed on the brink of a nuclear abyss and enclosed behind walls of indifference. As a result, social and economic decisions are being made that lead to tragic situations where human beings and creation itself are discarded ra-ther than protected and preserved. How, then, do we undertake a journey of peace and mutual respect? How do we break the unhealthy mentality of threats and fear? How do we break the current dynamic of distrust?
We need to pursue a genuine fraternity based on our common origin from God and exercised in dialogue and mutual trust. The desire for peace lies deep within the human heart, and we should not resign ourselves to seek-ing anything less than this. - Message for World Day of Peace, 1 Jan 2020, Issued from Vatican 8 Dec 2019
