REFLECTIONS ON THE READINGS FOR THIS SUNDAY
As a child, I recall playing with my friends and pretending to
be adults. Often times, children imitate and admire the adults
they see. Society, itself, even markets to parents and their
children products that enable and encourage the child’s
imagination and growth. These products are sometimes
positive and at other times negative in nature. From candy
cigarettes, designer clothes, occupational tools and a host of
other things, children see and obtain messages that
encourage the child to choose a way of life that they hope will
give them satisfaction and riches. This choice is accompanied
with the natural desire to be older, wiser and independent. In
short, they aspire to be someone greater than they are at this
point in life. This is natural. In fact, it is in God’s plan that each
individual must strive to grow and become an even better
person. This can only be accomplished through the acquisition
and development of the virtues. Therefore, it is imperative
that parents today guide the exposure children receive as they
age and model the appropriate virtues and mature life-style
for imitation. How the parents live their life will have a
consequential effect on the future of their offspring. Our . . .

Reflections on the Readings for this Sunday
Deacon Rob
. . . . children learn through our own modelling and without
that instruction their life will be difficult and unsatisfying.
In today’s Liturgy of the Word for the Holy Family of Jesus,
Mary, and Joseph, this salient factor is addressed in all the
possible readings. No matter which readings are selected,
there is one paramount point resting at their very foundation.
This inescapable and fundamental component is simple but
often times omitted – God’s presence and Will is the substance
that binds and gives success. In a
society where the Divine Love is
fostered there is growth and life
because virtue accompanies that
Love; whereas, in a society where this
is omitted there is only decay and
failure.
In the first reading from the Book of
Samuel, Hannah, who is infertile,
prays to God for children. She pledges
that if God grants her this blessing,
she will dedicate the child to God.
After God grants Hannah this
request, she fulfills her promise and
takes the child, Samuel, to the
sanctuary where she summarily
dedicates him as a Nazarite – a
person consecrated to the Lord. This deep faith of Hannah
reveals her inclusion of God in her family and the rewards that
can be granted by the Divine. In short, this biblical account
reflects upon how the faith of parent and the inclusion of God
yields a wonderous result. This dedication and Faith enable the
virtues to develop. This inclusion invites God into being an
active participant in their life and brings happiness and
growth.
In the second reading from the First Letter of St. John, John
discusses the relationship of the baptized to God as His
children. God’s love for us and our response to that love
creates an unique and fruitful relationship that is unknown and
incomprehensible to those who rely only on the physical world.
As His children, we are expected to follow His Will and execute
it with the same faith that Jesus, himself, did. By being dutiful
children and including and sharing His love, we, too, will be
rewarded as Christ was. This inclusion is found in the Holy
Spirit who will remain in us as we remain in Him making all a
perfected Divine Family. This Family exercises virtues that help
all grow and become Christ in full stature. It is through the
assistance of all that the Kingdom of God comes to full fruition.
Finally, in today’s Gospel according to Luke, the inclusion of
God within the family is vividly portrayed. Before reflecting
upon today’s narrative, it is crucial to remember that twelve
years have passed since the birth of Jesus. During this time,
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph have lived a simple but virtuous life.
They have dutifully modelled their civil and religious beliefs for
the Christ. Likewise, Jesus has led a life similar to any normal
child. He has been taught tools of the trade of his father,
Joseph (carpenter), observed the Mosaic Law, and Christ lived
within a family that trusted in God. In short, the family’s core
moral values and virtues have been laid out for Jesus to see
and imitate.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus has gone to the Temple with his family
and relatives for Passover. The Lucan
account depicts Mary and Joseph
returning home when they realize
that Jesus is not with them. Traveling
in a caravan with relatives, it is not
surprising that Jesus would be
separated from them. With any child,
it is a “now, you see them, now, you
don’t” situation. Panicking, the
parents return to Jerusalem and
discover, three days later, the Christ
child in the Temple amazing all who
were listening to him. When
questioned by his parents, Jesus
responded he was just doing what His
Father expected. This statement by
the Christ Child clearly indicates his
intimate relationship with the Divine
Father as fostered in his human family. Interestingly, the
Gospel ends with Jesus, the Word, returning with his parents to
Nazareth where he “…advanced in wisdom and age and favor
before God and man.” This final statement reveals faith and
virtue continually developing.
Holy Mother Church emphasizes the importance of God and
family for a fruitful and successful life. She uses today’s
celebration to share God’s model for us. The Holy Family was
not an unusual and especially blessed family. This family
experienced everything life can hand out. They were pressured
and tested from the beginning to the end. As refugees, exiled
from their original home, pursued by authorities, and forced to
live a life of flight, this family continued in their faith in God
and the development of virtues. They experienced joys and
sorrows that many today would consider extreme.
Nevertheless, they never lost their faith in God and modelled
that same attitude towards their only son. It is this same
inclusiveness and bonding with the Divine that mortals are
called to witness and imitate, today. By following the model of
the Holy Family, society can bring blessings and miracles upon
itself. We can become a better individual, a better family, a
better nation and a better world if we follow them. We need
only to accept God, invite God, and develop virtues to have
that better world we desire.
