Page 2 Feast of the Holy Family Of Jesus, Mary and Joseph Dear Friends in Christ,
This weekend we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family. In a few days we will also celebrate the Solemni-ty of Mary the Mother of God. It will be most fitting that we start the New Year 2016 with God our Father and Mary our Mother. We are fortunate to belong to the family of God here in St. Patrick Church.
In the Feast of the Holy Family, Jesus, Mary and Joseph exemplify the virtues that we, as members of God’s family, must emulate. At Christmas Jesus was born to show us the way of unconditional love, unity and peace. Though He was in the form of God (Phil. 2:6) Jesus’ submission to Mary and Joseph teaches
us trust and submission to God in all things. In the Gospel according to St. Luke 2:41-52 Scripture tells us that the boy Jesus was subject to Mary and Joseph. Yearly until He was twelve years old he would take the three day, eighty mile journey from Nazareth to Jerusalem for the feast of the Passover. At this point Jesus addresses God as Father while talking to Mary and Joseph. Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house? His relationship with Mary as a Mother and Joseph as His earthly Father must have enhanced and fostered a good relationship between Him and God His heavenly Father. As such, while aware of His unique qualities, He nonetheless entrusted himself into the loving care, paternal and maternal embrace and guidance of Mary and Joseph. Like all Godly parents, Mary and Joseph raised Jesus in the fear, wisdom and knowledge of the Lord.
God, our heavenly Father, calls each one of us to a unique task and mission in this world, which is our vocation. As we journey to fully discover that vocation, God calls us to cooperate with Him through those He has put in our lives as our guides. Some of them may be our parents. Others may be our leaders in the Church and in governments or any other who may assist us in loco parentis on our pilgrimage. As we prepare to begin the New Year, we entrust all parents, chil-dren, leaders and those that they lead into the loving embrace, the paternal tenderness of Joseph and maternal patron-age of Mary, the mother of God and our mother. May we imitate their good examples bringing our children to God and fostering a loving relationship at home to an extent that our children and all those we lead and guide may come to know God our Heavenly Father.
Thank you for all your love and support for our parish family. May God bless and keep you.
Happy New Year in advance.
In Christ,
Fr. Godwin
On New Year's Day, the octave day of Christmas, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Holy Mother of God, the divine and virginal motherhood of the Blessed Virgin.
It is the highest title of the Blessed Virgin Mary: Theotokos, Mother of God. This title was given to Mary at the Council of Ephesus in 431 A.D. The council taught, however, that the humanity and divinity of Jesus could not be separated and that they exist in one person, with the momentous implication that we can rightly give Mary the title of Mother of God. Mothers bring life, a gift from God, into the world. That's why you sometimes hear the Church referred to as "Mother". The Evangelist, Luke, describes her as the silent Virgin who listens constantly to the Eternal Word, who lives in the Word of God.
This feast is the celebration of Mary’s motherhood of Jesus and is the oldest feast of Mary celebrated by the Catholic Church. Mary has an important role to play in the Incarnation of the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity. She consents to God’s invitation conveyed by the angel (Luke 1:26-38).
Elizabeth proclaims: “Most blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled." And Mary said: "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God, my Savior.

We extend our congratulations to the following couples celebrating a
December Wedding Anniversary
Gary & Carolyn Hackney, 13 Years, December 24th Jim & Kathy Stockwell, 21 Years, December 3rd
Bill & Sue Snow, 50 Years, December 27th Dick & Sue Robinson, 52 Years, December 14th
Heavenly Father, as we come before You this Christmas, we thank You for sending Your Son into the darkness of this world to shed the light of Your love and to make THE way (John 14:6) for all of us to be able to experience eternal life.
And Father, as we thank you for the gift of eternal life we also want to thank you for the gift of marriage and this is our Christ-mas Prayer for our marriage:
We re-commit our marriage to You, Lord, that You would cause our thoughts to become agreeable with Your will. We understand that our union is a picture of our relationship with you and it is Holy.
Help us to pray together, to trust in You and walk in obedience to Your word so that we will have peace and joy in our marriage. Give us revelation of Your great love and understanding of how to love each other better. Teach us (again) as a husband how to love as Christ loves the church and teach and to treat each other with honor and respect, as You would have us.
Forgive us for our self-centeredness, anger, lust, and foolishness. Give us your patience and help us not to blame and accuse one another. Help us to see You as the source of acceptance, heal-ing, justification, and provision.
We ask you to remove the blinders from our eyes so we can see truth and walk courageously in it. We resist the enemy that would try to destroy our marriage. We put to death the words we have spoken against one another. We forgive each other for past of-fenses. We agree that the enemy is bound away from this mar-riage and invite the Holy Spirit into our lives.
Lord, we ask that you would surround us with Godly counsel. Draw us into Your word so that we can be cleansed and receive wisdom for our lives.
Lord, thank You for your faithfulness. Thank you that you watch over us, and that You are at work within us causing us to desire and do your will. You are the Lord, Almighty, and if You are for us, who can be against us? We love you Lord, and we entrust our marriage to You again this Christmas.
For we give You all the glory and ask these things in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.
Jubilee Year of Mercy Feast of the Holy Family
of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph Imagine: three New Year's celebrations in little over a month! In late November, Advent be-
gan the new liturgical year; December 8, the Jubilee Year of Mercy; this coming Friday, the New Year 2016. In to-day's Gospel, after three days of anguish, Mary tells Jesus how desperately she and Joseph have been searching for him. Mary could be speaking for the whole human race. With religious persecutions raging, international and do-mestic conflicts seething, our family and friends suffering various difficulties, not to mention our own personal prob-lems, how much our world needs Jesus as another New Year veiled in mystery begins! As we pray for God's mercy to enfold our world and embrace each of us in 2016, let our New Year's resolution be to live the Jubilee Year of Mercy by being for others, as Mary was, a channel of God's mercy and an instrument of Christ's peace. --Peter Scagnelli, Copyright (c) J.

Vocations Corner: Being in Awe
Three days ago we celebrated the birth of our Lord. Imag-ine what it must have been like for Mary and Joseph on the third day of beholding their miracle child. They were probably completely in love, completely in awe of what God had called then to do, and just maybe a little appre-hensive as to what would come next. I think that most parents are in awe but also overwhelmed on the day after bringing their newborn home from the hospital! I think that sometimes we don't even give our vocations a chance to make it to day one because we're too con-cerned about what will happen on day three, week three, and year three. What we have to understand is that God gave Mary and Joseph the grace to thrive one day at a time! He wants to do the same for us, but in order for that to happen, we have to say yes today. Don't worry about what day three well look like, just be in awe of God's plan today and say YES!

Stand Up and Be Counted As One Who Defends Life
January 22, 2016 will be the 43rd anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that made abor-tion legal through all nine months of pregnancy for any reason or for no reason at all.
Since that time more than 57 million children have lost their lives to abortion. The number of abortions has de-creased every year since 1990, but unfortunately there are still over 1 million every year.
Each year Right to Life McHenry County brings attention to this devastating decision by placing an ad in the North-west Herald. The names of those who oppose the horren-dous results of Roe vs. Wade are listed. The probable date the 2016 ad will run is January 24th. Last year's ad was an awesome four pages long! Next weekend, Janu-ary 2nd and 3rd members of the Respect Life ministry will be collecting signatures after all Masses to be in-cluded in this year’s ad. Please join the hundreds of other participants from all over the county by taking the time to add your name!
A free will donation from those who participate would be appreciated to help offset the cost of the ad. Right to Life McHenry County is an all-volunteer organization, and any funds raised over the cost of the ad go directly to other pro-life projects and activities, materials, etc.
† May this light which reminds us of Jesus’ presence in the Tabernacle welcome her
into His eternal presence.

Sometimes, the simplest things we take for granted are the very things our neediest neighbors need to live with dignity. Recently, Vincentians reached out to assist an older gentleman get to his job interview by provid-
ing a tank of gas and a quart of motor oil for his car. A haircut completed his wish list as he prepared to enter the work force again. A second neighbor in need asked for help in purchasing inexpensive materials so he could make a shelf for his food, his very small apartment had no cupboards or built-in shelves. Your donations to St. Vin-cent de Paul help the neediest among us all year long.
Mark 12:31 “The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other command-ment greater than these.”

1. The March for Life Chicago is an annual event that takes place each year during the month of Janu-ary. It is held near the anniversary of the tragic day on which the Supreme Court decision, Roe vs. Wade, legalized abortion in the United States in 1973. Thousands of people from diverse ethnic, social, and religious backgrounds come together and march through the streets of downtown Chicago, com-memorating the many innocent lives lost after this decision. Through marching, they share a message of love for life, hoping to reclaim for our state and our nation the respect that all life deserves and promote
a culture that values life, from the moment of conception until natural death. 2. The March for Life Chicago saves babies! 3. The March for Life Chicago brings together Midwest religious leaders and members of all faiths and cultures. 4. The number of first-time marchers increases every year, giving more Illinoisans the opportunity to proudly display
their pro-life values. 5. You can be a part of the largest pro-life event in Illinois! Our goal is to increase the number of marchers from 4,000
to 8,000 this year. 6. Who doesn’t love dancing in the streets of Chicago during the middle of January? This is a great way to have fun
with your friends and make new friends too. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------—————————————-------------------------
