A Reflection on the Family Two years ago, Pope Francis celebrated Mass in St Peter's Square on Sunday, Octo-ber 27th, 2013, to celebrate Sunday Mass and to close the 21st Plenary Assembly of the Pontifical Council for the Family. In his homily, the Holy Father spoke of the Chris-tian family as an institution that prays, keeps faith, and experiences joy. Over 100 thousand people were in St Peter’s Square on Sunday morning under a late October sky that was at first overcast and threatening before giving way during the course of Mass to brilliant sunshine. In his homily, Pope Francis challenged families to pray together: “It is,” he said, “a matter of humility: of realizing that we need God.” The Holy Father went on to call families to lives of Christian witness, asking them to model their lives on the example of St. Paul, who kept the faith by sharing it. “Christian fami-lies are missionary families,” said Pope Francis, “in their everyday life, in their doing everyday things, as they bring to everything the salt and the leaven of faith!” Pope Francis concluded his homily with a reflection on the joy of living as a Christian family. He said, “The family which experiences the joy of faith communicates it natu-rally.” He went on to say, “That family is the salt of the earth and the light of the world, it is the leaven of society.” After Mass, before reciting the Angelus with the gathered faithful, the Holy Father paused before an icon of the Holy Family that was placed on the steps of the Basilica, and recited a prayer composed for the occasion: “Holy Family of Nazareth,” he prayed, “reawaken in our society the awareness of the sacred and inviolable character of the family, an inestimable and irreplaceable good. Let every family be a welcoming place of goodness and peace for children and the elderly, for the sick and lonely, for the poor and needy.”

As Pope Francis concludes his pilgrimage to the United States, please pray for the Church in our country. Here is a prayer for that intention from the Roman Missal: O God, who in each pilgrim Church throughout the world make visible the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church, graciously grant that your faithful may be so united to their shep-herd and gathered together in the Holy Spirit through the Gospel and the Eucharist, as to worthily embody the universality of your people and become a sign and instrument in the world of the presence of Christ. Who lives and reigns for ever and ever.

Parish Life & Ministry Formation:
“Serving one an-
other by sup-porting our par-ish communi-
ties.” Our Catholic life begins and ends in the Par-ish because a Parish is the gathering of God’s faithful people. Today, more than ever, we must connect with our fellow parishion-ers, reinforcing our faith and keeping it vital for the next generation of Catholics. It is cru-cial that we foster a rich parish life, where neighbors, families and friends come togeth-er in the spirit of Catholic fellowship. The Of-fice for Parish Life assists in all aspects of Liturgy & Worship, Service & Social Con-cerns, Community and Family Development. Your gifts fund such programs as networking and training for Youth Ministry Leaders, Di-rectors of Religious Education, Music and Liturgical Ministry, Bereavement Support, Social Concerns and Parish Councils.

The world was a playground for Mickey, a naive Irish American kid bored with his life. His father served in World War II, his brother was a Marine in Vietnam; now it was his turn. His 365 days in Vietnam builds in torment until an attack on a bunker complex in Cambodia. Wounded, his friend captured, he becomes a tormented survivor knowing he is always just a heartbeat from death.
In this memoir, set as deeply in his mind as in the Southeast Asian jungle, a young American soldier embarks
on a journey to a war that, for him, will never be over.
