WE ARE GOD'S HOLY FAMILY
The scriptures of Israel are filled with many
stories of barren couples who were miracu-
lously granted the gift of children by God.
Surely the best known among these is the
first reading from today, from which Luke
took inspiration when he recounted the mi-
raculous birth of John the Baptist to Zechari-
ah and Elizabeth, and the more miraculous
birth of Jesus to Mary and Joseph. In each
instance, we are given examples or role
models of those who trusted in God. More
than examples of those who trust, they are
models of self-surrender. They abandoned
their own presuppositions and prejudices
about the workings of the world and turned
their lives over to belief in a God who can
make life grow where none ought to; a God
who can turn death around into a new and
unimagined life; a God who can, today, take
a tiny child of humble parents in an insignifi-
cant town and make him into a light for all
the world. This is what we, as God's holy
family, are called to do each day: to trust not
in ourselves and the way we think things
should be, but to open ourselves and surren-
der ourselves in faith to a God of endless
promise.

Treasures From Our Tradition
In the last century, a few new feasts were blended into the Church year, including today's. After World War I, the chaos of daily life in Europe made its impact felt on the family structure. Partly to offer Christians an image of hope and holiness in married family life, and also to pro-mote the welfare of children, today's feast was "invented" in 1921. In 1969, it became a feast of Christ-mas. The prayers today remind us not only of family life, but of life in the community of faith. We ponder the mystery of a God who loves us dearly enough to embrace the strug-gles, joys, and daily sorrows of family life. The message of Christmas shines through: God-with-us is available to us in the ordinary patterns of our lives and commitments. The lives of people who raise their children in difficult circumstances, and of people who remain faithful to life in the Church in spite of some of their own family strug-gles, occupy a special place in our hearts today in prayer.
Please call the office for any changes so we can keep these lists up to date.
