The Holy family Of Jesus, Mary and Joseph
The family is the cradle of civil society. Yes, no human being exists without a family. Today our generation seems to deny this truth and one would try to discard the natural family existence from the ages. Even the animal kingdom will teach us that without the animal family, there is no chance of their further existence and certain extinction from this earth is inevitable. A lone animal has no future or identity and recognition.Without the family, all humanity is homeless. Today we are experiencing a degradation of family values, we can sense that the denial of the human family has brought a radical change of human existence in our world. The feast of The Holy Family reminds us to ponder upon the very fact of family life and to promote family values in our community.
The Holy Family of Nazareth is the central focus of the importance of family. Jesus needed a family. He was born into a human family to stress what a precious gift it is from God; and to call the members of all Christian families to play their respective roles in promoting Christian family values. They share joys and sorrows, and especially love. This Holy Family Sunday makes us realize that our families will serve as the vital cells of Church and society.
The First and Second readings of this Sunday (Eccl. 3:2-6, Col 3:12-21) expresses the meaning of the family. The readings show a harmonious family life arising from mutual respect, and the maintenance of right relationships.
Good relationship, making for peace, harmony and joy makes a holy family. Saint Paul coming from a good and holy family shared his experiences saying,
“Let the peace of Christ reign over you;” “Let the message of Christ find home with you;” “do what you do in the Lord,”
to “please the Lord.”
Mercy, kindness, patience, and forgiveness are the guidelines of a holy family.I would like to stress one vital point of family life. First, what strife and meaning of family life is diminishing in our world and also in our Christian family? The challenge must be met squarely with faith and love. This faith and love are what makes a family holy, a domestic Church. Faith and love are nurtured through family prayer, encouraging one another in faith, hope and charity.
Prayer is the lifeblood of a family’s faith which drawers them closer to Christ. A family who prays together stays together!
La Sagrada Familia de Jesús, María y José
La familia es la cuna de la sociedad civil. Sí, ningún ser humano existe sin una familia. Hoy en día, nuestra generación parece negar esta verdad y se trataría de descartar la existencia natural de la familia desde los iempos. Incluso el reino animal nos enseñará que sin la familia animal, no hay posibilidad de que siga existiendo y es nevitable su extinción de esta tierra. Un animal solitario no tiene futuro ni identidad ni reconocimiento.
Sin la familia, toda la humanidad está desamparada. Hoy en día estamos experimentando una degradación de los valores familiares, podemos sentir que la negación de la familia humana ha traído un cambio radical de la existencia humana en nuestro mundo. La fiesta de la Sagrada Familia nos recuerda que debemos reflexionar sobre el hecho mismo de la vida familiar y promover los valores familiares en nuestra comunidad.
La Sagrada Familia de Nazaret es el foco central de la importancia de la familia. Jesús necesitaba una familia.
Nació en el seno de una familia humana para subrayar el precioso don que es de Dios; y para llamar a los miembros de todas las familias cristianas a desempeñar sus
respectivos papeles en la promoción de los valores familiares cristianos. Comparten las alegrías y las penas, y sobre todo el amor. Este Santo Domingo de la Familia nos hace comprender que nuestras familias serán las células vitales de la Iglesia y de la sociedad.
Las lecturas primera y segunda de este domingo (Ecl. 3, 2- 6, Col. 3, 12-21) expresan el significado de la familia. Las lecturas muestran una vida familiar armoniosa que surge del respeto mutuo y del mantenimiento de relaciones correctas. Las buenas relaciones, que favorecen la paz, la armonía y la alegría, hacen que la familia sea santa. San Pablo, procedente de una familia buena y santa, compartió sus experiencias diciendo: "Que la paz de Cristo reine sobre nosotros"; "Que el mensaje de Cristo encuentre su hogar"; "haced lo que hacéis en el Señor", para
"agradar al Señor". La misericordia, la bondad, la paciencia y el perdón son las pautas de una familia santa.
Quisiera destacar un punto vital de la vida familiar. En primer lugar, ¿qué lucha y sentido de la vida familiar está disminuyendo en nuestro mundo y también en nuestra familia cristiana? El desafío debe afrontarse directamente con fe y amor. Esta fe y este amor son los que hacen que una familia sea santa, una Iglesia doméstica. La fe y el amor se alimentan a través de la oración familiar,
animándose mutuamente en la fe, la esperanza y la caridad.
La oración es la savia de la fe de una familia que la acerca a Cristo. Una familia que reza unida, permanece unida!

Check Christmas presents for button batteries
Many parents will be spending the next few days and weeks assembling and reassembling their children’s gifts, and it’s important to be on the lookout for potential hazards, including button batteries. Button batteries are small, round discs used in anything from toys to key fobs to watches. If these batteries end up being swallowed or placed in a child’s nose or ears, they can cause serious damage — from electrical currents to tissue burns. Keep an eye on the power sources for the toys your children get this Christmas, and consider taking extra safety measures for anything with a button battery. For more information, visit https://www.nsc.org/home-safety/safety-topics/
child-safety/button-batteries.
Revise los regalos de Navidad para ver si hay baterías de botón Muchos padres de familia pasarán los próximos dı́as y semanas
ensamblando (y reensamblando) los obsequios de sus hijos, y es importante estar atentos a los peligros potenciales, incluidas las baterı́as de botón. Las pilas de botón son discos pequeños y redondos que se utilizan en cualquier cosa, desde juguetes hasta llaveros electrónicos, conocidos como “key fobs”
en inglés, y relojes. Si estas baterı́as terminan siendo tragadas o colocadas en la nariz o los oı́dos de un niño, pueden causar daños graves, desde corrientes eléctricas hasta quemaduras de tejidos. Esté atento a las fuentes de energı́a de los juguetes que sus hijos reciben esta Navidad y considere tomar medidas de seguridad adicionales para cualquier cosa que tenga una baterı́a de botón.

Today is the feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, and so we can celebrate that we all belong to the holy family of God which makes us brothers and sisters to each other.
At Christmas this year, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul brought joy and hope to our “brothers and sisters” who are poor by providing food, gifts, and assistance with their bills. Thank you for your generosity!
