Reflections on the Sunday Scripture

Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph
Readings:
1 Samuel 1:20-22, 24-28 1 John 3:1-2, 21-24
Luke 2:41-52
Gospel
Each year Jesus' parents went to Jerusalem for the feast of Passover, and when he was twelve years old, they went up according to festival custom. After they had completed its days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, but his parents did not know it. Thinking that he was in the caravan, they journeyed for a day and looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances, but not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem to look for him. After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions, and all who heard him were astounded at his understanding and his answers. When his parents saw him, they were astonished, and his mother said to him, "Son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been looking for you with great anxiety." And he said to them, "Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?" But they did not understand what he said to them. He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart. And Jesus advanced in wisdom and age and favor before God and man.
(continued)
1. In the gospel, Jesus calls the temple, “my Father’s house.” Do you feel at home in the community of St. Mark’s? How do you experience it as a place of shelter and welcome? How might you help it grow to be even more a house of God?
2. How does your family support each other in times of stress and sadness? How do you handle your family problems when
a child (child of God – all of us) is lost? Is the child lost because that child has no faith? What can you do? One way is to be always looking (loving and encouraging) for them, never giving up, always having Hope.
3. How is your children’s faith affected by today’s society? How can it change?
4. What is your story of faith? Have you ever been lost? What brought you back? Can this be told to a child?

A thought for today:
As we begin this new year of 2019, remember:
Old friends are GOLD! New friends are DIAMOND! If you get a Diamond, don’t
forget the Gold! Because to hold a Diamond, you always need a base of Gold!
Friendship is like a BOOK: it takes years to write, but just a few minutes to burn.
And lastly:
Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly and
leave the rest to God!
A Blessed and Happy 2019!

for an entire year for yourself or a loved one. Those enrolled in the Mass Society are prayed for at the

Offering a Mass for someone is one of the best gifts
you can give them, whether to celebrate a birthday or
anniversary or to offer healing to someone sick.
Cards are $10, and there are several
different styles from which you can choose.
Tuesday, January 1st, is New Year’s and, therefore, there will be no Adoration

All you have to do is cut out the
“Box Tops” symbol found on hundreds of products that you use every day.
Just drop the “Box Tops” in the specially marked wooden
box located in the Narthex.
That’s it! So simple and yet your “Box Tops” will go a long way in
providing transportation for these students.
Thank you!
If you are interested in joining
one of the many ministries
here at St. Mark , please make that

Prayer Garden and Grotto
— Be a part of it!
You don’t need to just watch the ongoing
construction of our new Prayer Garden, you can
actually be a physical and spiritual part of it.
Memorialized Paver Bricks are available
in two different sizes, with or without artwork.
You may donate a brick for yourself or for
someone else, to commemorate a special occasion,
to honor or remember special loved ones.
4” x 8” Brick(s) are $75 each
8” x 8” Brick(s) are $115 each
There are sample paver bricks on display
in the Narthex along with order forms.
Order forms can also be downloaded at
www.stmarkrcc.com.
Completed forms must be returned
to the Parish Office.
The initial order for memorialized bricks will
be placed in late January. Subsequent orders
will occur periodically until all pavers
are memoralized.
Prayer Card Intentions are available for a limited
time. There is a supply of 4” x 3” Prayer Card
forms in the Narthex, next to the Brick Display.
To participate, just complete a Prayer Card,
listing your personal intention, and then either
place it in an envelope marked “Prayer Card”
and drop it in the collection basket, or submit
the Prayer Card directly to the Office.
The Prayer Cards will then all be placed within
the brickwork of the Grotto and sealed so as
to become a part of the Grotto itself.
The suggested offering for each
Prayer Card Intention is $10 and this must
accompany the Prayer Card Intention form.
Deadline for Prayer Cards is February 3rd.

If you are hospitalized here at The
Villages Hospital, please remember:
When you are in the hospital, let Admitting know that you are a Catholic and would like to be on the list for Visitation and Communion.
If your condition changes and you want an Anointing, St. Timothy’s will send a priest. If you want a Clergy from St. Mark for Anointing, call the office to schedule.
The Villages Hospital is served by all three Parishes for Communion: — St. Mark goes Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays — St. Vincent de Paul goes Mondays — St. Timothy goes Wednesdays, Fridays, Sundays
