special personal prayer. Our goal is to make everyone aware of
the most immediate needs in an appropriate and respectful way.

Mary, the Holy Mother of God�
This solemnity is a rather recent addition to the cycle of
seasons, Sundays, and feasts in our liturgical year. We
have Pope Paul VI to thank for the 1974 enshrining of
the devotion to Mary into our calendar on January 1. �
It is also a day in our calendar as a World Day for Peace. �
�
Let us pray...�
�
God of heaven and earth,�
you came to us and took our earthly flesh�
through the gift of Mary's yes.�
She is our Mother in faith,�
as she is your earthly mother.�
�
We are thankful beyond our ability to thank you�
for the gift of her Son as our brother and savior.�
Through her self�giving, we have been reconciled to you.�
�
Bless us as we begin this New Year�
and endow us with the desire and ability to create a world of peace.�
�
We ask all this, through the intercession of Mary to you,�
one God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.�
Amen. �

LIVE THE LITURGY
Inspiration for the week
While families come in all shapes and
sizes and no two are the same, they all
need a common focus and grounding.
Families are intended to be pivotal in providing us with a �
proper social structure and understanding, a support system,
lessons about relationships and communication and the �
unconditional acceptance and love we so desperately crave. In
additional to all of these things, the axis of every family has to
be centered on faith. It is here that we can learn about the �
virtues and discover the windows to God Himself in His gifts of
faith, hope, and love. We can learn, modeling our experience
after the Holy Family, how to use these as anchors in our lives
so that we can live out the other virtues with greater integrity.
Because our human families struggle with weakness and sin,
we have to come back to the Holy Family often for inspiration
and guidance. In the bond of love that they shared, they clung
to the anchor of God Himself and endured challenges far
greater than many we will ever face.�

The Homeless Outreach Team is in
need of contributions to hand out to
the homeless in our community with
the winter weather approaching. �
�
Items in need (new, not used please):
coats, hats, gloves, hand warmers, heavy
socks, thermoses, tents, tarps, sleeping bags,
blankets, pillows, \$20 gas cards. Donated
items can be brought to the St. Michael Church
Gathering Space to be collected for distribution. �

For any questions or concerns, �
contact Anna Carochi at 719�371�3525�
Our seminarian from the Diocese of �
Pueblo, Nadin Williams Ospino, will be
here with us during part of his holiday �
vacation from Assumption Seminary. He
will be assisting Father Jesse with Masses
while he is here.Our Seminarian Fund is
very depleted at this time. We would like
to respectfully ask for donations to replenish this fund
so we may offer Nadin a stipend for the time he is �
donating to us during his break.�
GREAT NEWS!!! We have also been informed that
Nadin will be ordained to Deaconate and the �
Priesthood in the spring of 2021! Please prayerfully
consider helping us to rebuild our Seminarian Fund
so that we can help him with the expenses of his �
upcoming ordination. �
GOSPEL MEDITATION �
ENCOURAGE DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE�
�
Tragedy and disappointment are inevitable. What sees you through
this? There will be challenges, changes, unexpected circumstances,
interrupted plans, hurts, and injustices experienced by every human
being at some point in their lives. We will be asked to adjust our
plans, change course, and even encounter suffering and death.
Where do we learn all of the lessons we need to live life well?
Some of them we learn along the way but much of what we bring to
life, positive and negative, comes from our early beginnings, our
families. This is our early world and provides the blueprint for how
we see the bigger, more inclusive world, which unfolds before us.�
�
Our families of origin can be sources of grace, heartache or a com-
bination of both. Families are intended to be pivotal in providing us
with proper social structure and understanding, a support system,
lessons about relationships and communication, and the uncondi-
tional acceptance and love we so desperately crave. They can also
determine whether we have an accessible and healthy relationship
with God. Many of life’s challenges can literally bring us to our
knees and require that we possess a strength of character that re-
sides well beyond the superficialities of our world. At some point
we will all need three coping gifts that can be given to us only by
God: faith, hope, and love. Our families help us learn that we are
not the ones responsible for their creation, but God! �
�
Our experience of early family life colors all of our relationships
and what we expect to achieve from life in general. Resolving �
conflicts, dealing with difficulty and suffering, celebrating �
accomplishments, prioritizing our needs, listening to God’s call,
understanding relationships, understanding disappointment, �
learning about the virtues and living a centered focused life are all
lessons our families either succeed in teaching or do not. To �
succeed, as God has designed and ordered our world, is to discover
his presence and then trust that Presence. The Holy Family can
teach even the most dysfunctional family how to best use God’s
gifts of faith, hope, and love to find him and do his will. Their �
simple humble example is always before us, showing us the way.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, pray for us!�
