Lord fathers do not provoke your children so they may not become discouraged the word of the Lord than go hallelu hallelu hallelu in the past God spoke to our ancestors through through the prophets in these last days he has spoken to us through the son hallelu hallelu
Hallelu the Lord be with you and with your spirit a reading from the holy Gospel According to Luke Glory To You Lord when the days were completed for their purification according to the law of Moses they took him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord when they had fulfilled all the
Pres prescriptions of the law of the Lord they returned to Galilee to their on Tower of Nazareth the child grew and became strong filled with wisdom and the favor of the Lord was upon him the gospel of the Lord praise to you Lord Jesus Christ if you read the book of
Joshua Joshua chapter 25 verse number 15 we Joshua gathered the people of Israel and they said to them choose this day for yourself whom you will serve and he said as for me and my family that will serve the Living God choose this day whom you will
Serve which God do you serve as a family the Living God or the God of this world some time ago I remember sharing with some of you story of this girl who was at that time about 10 years old I was hearing confession at one of our schools in the
Dasis and this girl came up I thought she was coming to confession and she said father I’m not coming to confession I have a question and the question she asked was was does God really exist I asked her what do you think I she said my father told me that God doesn’t
Exist when I come to school I see my fellow students praying to God talking about Jesus I’m confused and I said to her what did your mother say at this point she began to tear up tears triming down her face and she said my mother is in jail since I was a little
Kid and as I looked at her her tears brought tears to my eyes it was obvious that she was not raised in a Catholic Christian family her father worships his own God maybe himself as a creator of him himself beli there’s no God out there he is his own God and her mother
Worships maybe the demon of drugs and wonder how this girl would grow up what would she be if you do not learn about God in the family you think that the world is going to teach you about God unless by God’s grace so I keep praying for this little girl every
Day it is a blessing to come from a Christian family I hope we do not play with that it’s a gift that we have Jesus was raised in a family that knew God a family that placed God at the center of their lives Joseph Mary loved
God and wherever they went they red the love of God to ERS that me and as I said in the beginning we have been adopted to the part of this family holy family we we are part of Jesus family we have to bear fruits that show that we
Are part of his family we are Christian family the second reading talks about forgiving one another as forgiveness is important in our family lives you know attended the anniversary of marriage sometime ago of this woman uh they were celebrating 50 years of married life and when I was sharing with her I asked
Her what is the secrets you have been with this man your husband for 50 years what’s the secret she said forgiveness I was expecting her to say that I married a perfect man he never hurts me if she acknowledged a married life is not easy a we time when your spouse will hurt
You you kep forgiving it’s what love caus us to do forgiving you love you will never Tire of forgiving not only your husband and your wife the other person will her daughter at some point now when Joseph wanted to marry Mary you know the story he discovered
That she was pregnant and he was planning to divorce her the spirits the Holy Spirit revealed to Joseph that Mary was conceived by the Holy Spirit and they got married Mary never said to her to him it didn’t trust me the beginning she let go who kept loving and Liv together in
Love we are preparing for a New Year there are some families that are living in animosity parents holding Gres against children children against parents husband against against wife let make that that decision today that I will forgive my parents I will forgive my child I will forgive my brother my
Sister said well father you don’t know what he did to me is there anything someone does to you that can never be forgiven now we go to confession we say father forgive me for I have sinned the question is have you forgiven have you forgiven those who
Offended and we pray Our Father every Sunday every Mass forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespassed against us but we have not forgiven so make that decision now as part of God’s family but children who have learned to forgive if you are part of this holy
Family have to learn to accept one another we have our own faults weaknesses your husband has one his own weakness your wife has her own weakness your children have their weaknesses but do not compare your spouse to your friend’s spouse your children with your friend’s children the person the Lord has given to
You is for you to love the person accept the person as he or she is love the person Mercy Works of Mercy should be practiced in the Christian family and think about Mary when she attended the wedding feast in K and the family ran out of wine very interceded they have no
Wife and Jesus performed his first miracle we as members of the Holy Family have to learn to practice walks of Mercy I told you some story about this little girl from a parish Lila after m one Sunday they went to the hospitality to grab some cake and you know whatever is
There after M I went there and I saw L guess she’s about 5 years old and she was enjoying her cake I went there I said to her L could you share some cake with me I’m hungry and she said no this is mine get your there I said no I want yours
I have not eaten since last month and she looked at me and said you are smiling if you have not eating you wouldn’t be smiling and she kept eating finished the cake and the mother said to me father I’m sorry we’re still teaching her how to share things the next Sunday she brought
Some gifts my father has a gift for you I thanked her another suay she brought it some gifts to me and this Christmas she brought some envelope father I have money for you now she has learned to sh and some children are stingy selfish because we have not Tau them for
Sure I heard about a case of a a woman who took all the inheritance of that the parents died and she never wanted to share anything with her siblings she wanted do everything for herself maybe no one taught her to share rights from a childhood and teach our children to
Share what we have everything we have here we will leave behind when we die if we grab everything into world today so when you are dying what would you do about them be like one man in Africa we bought a very expensive car and kept it said I
Am going to be buried with this this is going to in my casket that’s craziness you’re going to drive a car when you die we will leave everything behind when God gives us things they are for sharing we can learn that from the Holy Family Jesus spent his time reaching out
To people especially those in need c love is important in the Christian family now someone told me do you know what family means I said no he said family always means I love you and f a i f a m i l y f family N means I uh how do
You spell it uh m means i i l love why you did you get that family always means I love you that’s what it means if you do not say to your wife everything I love you you will Wonder does he really love me you say your children I love you if
You never said that your child will wonder does my father my mother really loves me I never heard that from them you say it and you do it every day God brought us together in their family to Love Char to begin but should notop stop there we learn charity love Mercy at home
Wherever we go we ready did it and Jesus Says by this they will know that you are my children if you love one another and listen to the first reading when he say there is a blessing that comes from taking care of your parents your father and when the mind is
Failing your father be there for him be there for your mother you know sometimes it can be hard for us to deal with you know your parent suffering from Dementia or it’s hard of hearing you have to talk and repeat yourself several times requires patience When Love Is there you always
Continue to serve despite the difficulty and this time so we enter a new year to make that resolution and ask the Lord to give you his Spirit to continue to love and serve and th Joshua said you choose this day whom will serve am we stand and profess our faith I believe
Earth Christ only beg God father God Gody inary for our s heed again third day and heed into seated at the right father he will come Glory Jud living I believe in the Hoy Pro believe cathol Church to the resurrection and life of the world to now we turn to our merciful father
