The Holy Family of jesus, Mary and Joseph page two
My Dear Friends, The Feast of the Holy Family: Protec ng the Presence of the Lord in Our families. I hope that all of you are having a wonderful cele-bra on of Christmas. I will begin with a li le story you might be familiar with. It is called the Luck of Roaring Camp, and was wri en in 1868 by Bret Harte. The story takes place in Roaring Camp--a camp of gruff, hard drinking, fierce, gold diggers. The men would kill someone sooner than they would ask a person his name. One day, a pregnant and sick Indian lady stumbled into the camp. When she went into labor, two of the men were decent enough to try to help her. She died during the birth, but miraculously, the child, a boy, survived. The men of the camp took responsibility for the baby. They began taking turns taking care of him. They decided to build him a clean cabin and even put in windows with lace curtains. He was their baby, and they were determined to give him a proper home. The men took turns taking care of the baby. To hold him and sing to him was considered a privilege. They demanded from each other previously unheard of things such as decent language, quiet, cleanliness, and moral order. The men began to shed their roughness, their anger, and their selfishness. The li le child transformed this outpost of rough, crude miners into a community of generosity, tenderness, and compassion. The baby called forth from these reckless characters and criminals: dignity, self worth, a sense of beauty, wonder, and joy. Children will do that to you and for you. Many young couples refine their lifestyles when a baby comes. They want the baby to be brought up with the best they have, by being the best people they can be. Many people who had been away from church return to Church on a regular basis. They want their baby to grow up with a real loving rela onship to God and as a part of a worshiping community. Children can bring out the best in their parents. And this is what God has done for us through the birth of His son. With Jesus' birth, our humanity is made sacred. He has called us from living self-centered lives to lives of compassion, peace, and joy. Jesus Christ has transformed humanity--making humanity sacred, just as He is sacred. Let’s look a li le closer at the members of the Holy Family and their rela onship as a family. We begin with Joseph. Joseph devel-ops from someone who is inclined to prevent the family from forming to someone who does everything possible to keep the Holy Family together. He could have sent his pregnant betrothed away to have her baby out of the scru ny of the neighbors at Naza-reth. He probably would never see her again or ever meet the child, but he had the faith to trust God and form a family with Mary and the coming child. But as an expectant father, he cared for Mary, and joined her in the joy of the birth of the child whom he promptly adopted by naming the baby, Jesus. When danger threatened the life of the child, he didn’t leave the family to protect himself, nor did he send Mary and the baby away to fend for themselves. He took them to Egypt, and then, keeping the family together, returned with them from Egypt to Nazareth Jesus is the center of the Holy Family. All children have the right to be the center of their families. As an infant and a child, He de-pended on his mother and father and is subject to them. He also knew that their every move will be for His care and concern. His is the Love that made the Holy Family holy even before His human nature was able to declare to them and the world that he is Love Incarnate. So here we have the Holy Family as a model. The Father fights against anything in the world that would destroy his family. The mother creates the home and nurtures the family. The child is the love around which the family revolves. Is it so unre-alis c then, for the Church to offer the Holy Family as a model to all our families? At Roaring Camp, the presence of the baby transformed the rough men from being self-centered to being self-less. In a sense, the baby called those men to holiness and formed them into a family. On the Feast of the Holy Family we pray that we all may hear the cries of the Infant Jesus, calling us to reverence His presence, calling all of us to the holiness that is the heart of the Catholic family. (Excerpted from a wri ng by frjoeshomilies.net) Prayerfully, Father Patrick V. Kirsch, KHS Pastor
