Dear family and friends in Jesus Christ…, Happy feast day to you all…, Family is so close to our hearts. Family is the basic unit of the church and nation. What is the most beautiful thing that God has created? I ask this question whenever I celebrate the Sacrament of Matrimony. I get a lot of answers. For me the most beautiful thing that God has created is Family. That is why, when He decided to come on earth, He came in as part of a Family. In his letter to families, Pope Francis reminds us of something very important. There is no perfect family. There is no perfect father or mother, perfect son or daughter, perfect husband or wife, and even no perfect mother-in-law. In his book Raising Your Child to Be a Mensch, (a Yiddish word for a person having admirable characteristics such as fortitude and firmness of purpose), Rabbi Neil Kurshan tells this true story: A young woman who is about to be married had come to the Rabbi for counseling. She told the Rabbi that she hoped she would not make the same mistakes that her parents had made. When the Rabbi pressed her to elaborate, she explained that each summer her wealthy parents traveled to Europe while she remained behind with a nanny. One year, when the girl was 11, the housekeeper suddenly quit just shortly before her parents annual trip to Europe. Upset that their vacation might be jeopardized, the parents quickly found a replacement. A few days before their departure, the girl noticed that her mother had wrapped the family jewels and silverware and placed them in the safe. Since this had never been done before, she asked why. Her mother explained that she could not trust the new housekeeper with the family valuables. Though certainly not intended, that insensitive remark so shocked and hurt the little girl that she never forgot it. Wasn't she a family valuable? Didn't she have more value than silver knives and silver forks? On this Holy Family Day that is a question all of us could ask about our attitudes toward dependent family members, young, old, or in-between. Family and friends I want to tell you that we all have the ability to make our families heaven on earth and at the same time hell on earth. Let us take to heart what Saint Paul taught us in today's second reading ~ to make our families that heaven on earth. Paul, in his letter to the Colossians, advises us that we should put on love and remain thankful in our relationships with one another. Paul's advice is part of the "Household Code" – the rules for members of the Christian family. "Brothers and sisters: Put on, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another if one has a grievance against another; as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do. And over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection. And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly." In a truly holy family, all members are respected, cherished, nurtured, and supported, united through the bond of love. We have a perfect family to follow, the holy family of Nazareth the family of Jesus Mary, and Joseph. We need to learn lessons from the Holy Family: The Church encourages us to look to the Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph for inspiration, example, and encouragement. They were a model family in which both parents worked hard, helped each other, understood and accepted each other, and took good care of their Child so that he might grow up not only in human knowledge but also as a Child of God. We need to make the family a confessional rather than a courtroom. A senior Judge of the Supreme Court congratulated the bride and groom in a marriage with a pertinent piece of advice: "See that you never convert your family into a courtroom; instead let it be a confessional. If the husband and wife start arguing like attorneys in an attempt to justify their behavior, their family becomes a court of law and nobody wins. On the other hand, if the husband and the wife — as in a confessional — are ready to admit their faults and try to correct them, the family becomes a heavenly one." Marriage is a sacrament of holiness. Each family is called to holiness. By the Sacrament of Matrimony (marriage), Jesus sanctifies not only the spouses but also the entire family. The husband and wife attain holiness when they discharge their duties faithfully, trusting in God, and drawing on the power of God by prayer. On the Feast of the only perfect Family that ever lived on this earth, all parents might examine themselves and see how well they are fulfilling the grave responsibility which God has placed on them. As they heard during their marriage ceremony: "Children are a gift from God." Children serve as the joy of their parents' young years and the help and comfort in their old age, but above and beyond that, they are a gift for which their parents are accountable before God, as they must, in the end, return His children, to Him. Let us pray for the grace of caring for one another in our own families, for each member of the parish family, and all families of the universal Church. May God bless all your families in the New Year! Fr. Tom Pastor, St. James Roman Catholic Church "Do everything for the greater glory of God!"

May the Lord make my New Year a happy one… not by shielding me from
sorrow and pain, but by strengthening me to
bear it if it comes. Not by making my path easy,
but by making me sturdy enough to tread any path.
Not by taking hardship from me, but by taking all
cowardice and fear from my heart as I meet hardships. Not by granting me unbroken
sunshine, but by keeping my ‘face bright even in the shadows.
Not by making my life always pleasant, but by showing me where
I am needed most and by making me zealous to be
there and to help … God, make my year a happy one.
