29 de diciembre de 2019 La Sagrada Familia de Jesús, María y José. "Esposas, subordínense a sus esposos ... Esposos, amen a sus esposas ... Hijos, obedezcan a sus padres en todo ... Pa-dres, no provoquen a sus hijos ." COLOSENSES 3: 18-21 El Papa Francisco dijo que las familias, a través de su vida de oración y amor, se convierten en "escuelas de verdadero crecimiento humano". Ser testigos creíbles del amor cris-tiano, especialmente el de los miembros de la familia, ejerce la influencia más positiva en nuestros hijos. Todos somos hijos de Dios, recemos y amémonos unos a otros como Dios, Nuestro Padre, lo hace por nosotros.
December 29, 2019 The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph “Wives, be subordinate to your husbands…Husbands, love your wives…Children, obey your parents in everything…Fathers, do not provoke your children…” colossians 3:18-21 Pope Francis said that families, through their life of prayer and love, become “schools of true human growth.” Being credible witnesses of Christian love, especially that of family members, exerts the most positive influence on our children. We are all chil-dren of God, let us pray and love each other as God, Our Father, does for us.

WINTER WILD
It was winter wild
While the Heav’n-born child
All meanly wrapt in the rude manger lies.
—John Milton, On the Morning of Christ’s Nativity
SALVATION IN DAILY LIFE
This Sunday is the feast of the Holy Family, which comes on the first Sunday after Christmas Day. Today’s feast celebrates how the humanity of Jesus (including his entire family life) has brought saving significance into the daily rhythms of our human family life.
The scriptures offer instruction and encouragement on how to share—within our families, parish families, and the wider human family—the love that God shares with us in Jesus. Selections from Sirach, Psalm 128, and Colossians encourage us to reflect divine love and thus find holiness in all our human relationships. The reading from Matthew’s Gospel offers a living example of love in the actions Joseph took to protect his young family from danger and to nurture them within the larger fami-ly of faith of their time.

SAINT THOMAS BECKET (1118-1170)
December 29
To anyone who imagines conflict between religion and politics to be a modern phenomenon, history wit-nesses otherwise. Martyred under Henry VIII in 1535, Thomas More declared, “I die the king’s good servant, but God’s first!” Thomas Becket could have said the same four centuries earlier. As Henry II’s closest friend and trusted chancellor, Becket, the king presumed, could be counted on, if made archbishop, to deliver the church to royal control. But Becket experienced a profound conversion, confirmed by the ordination liturgy’s rich symbolism of the bishop as Good Shepherd and the church as Bride of Christ. Renouncing secular responsi-bilities, distributing his wealth to the poor, Thomas be-came the church’s uncompromising champion. Faced with this “new” Becket, the king’s previous friendship turned into a ferocious, almost irrational hatred. As eight centuries later, Archbishop Romero would be martyred at the altar of Christ’s sacrifice, Becket was slain before the altar of Canterbury Cathedral by royal agents, nei-ther the first nor last good shepherd to lay down his life as the price of freedom for Christ’s church and justice for Christ’s sheep.
