The Family that Prays
Together....
Stays Together!
“‘Rise, take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt, and stay
there until I tell you.’” 725 kilometers. That’s the distance on
modern roads from Bethlehem to Cairo. Assuming one covered
40km a day on foot — ambitious for two young parents and their
infant son — the journey would take well over two weeks.
Of course, the Holy Family didn’t have modern roads. They
would travel through wilderness, fear bandits, run low on water,
and cross the vast Sinai Peninsula in a reverse of their
forefathers in Exodus. Here, in struggle and sacrifice, are the
beginnings of the forging of the Holy Family.
“Joseph rose and took the child and his mother by night
and departed for Egypt. He stayed there until the death of
Herod.” Large Jewish communities existed in most major cities
of the ancient Mediterranean world, after the collapse of their
kingdoms chronicled in the Old Testament, and Joseph could
likely find work as a carpenter. All the same, today’s Gospel
reminds us that the first formational years of Jesus as a babe-in-
arms were spent in a strange land. The members of the Holy
Family were foreigners, outsiders, immigrants.
The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. God took on our
humanity. He is in solidarity with our own trials and difficulties.
On the feast of the Holy Family, we honor the special place
of the family within society. We are invited, too, to recall
those families who share in the struggles of the Holy Family in a
particular way. We pray for immigrants, asylum seekers, and
refugees. We pray for all parents who sacrifice their own
well-being and comfort so their children may have a better life.

�GROW IN YOUR CATHOLIC FAITH.
�LEARN THE TEACHINGS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.
One of the most beautiful things about the Christmas
story is its human simplicity, how very ordinary, and
how relatable!
In the midst of all that is so very human — whatever
the humdrum or the horrible — "the Word became
flesh and made his dwelling among us." No matter
what we bring into this Christmas Season, God
enters our existence. He enters our experiences.
When we allow God into our lives in a new way, when
we surrender to Him our lingering areas of darkness,
then we will "[see] his glory, the glory as of the
Father's only Son, full of grace and truth."
It's time to welcome Him.

Divorced and Re-married? If you are divorced and
remarried outside of the Catholic Church without
a Decree of Invalidity, or if you are married
outside of the Catholic Church, you may not
partake of the Sacraments, including the
reception of Holy Communion. Until it is shown
otherwise through the ministry of the Tribunal, no
person is free to enter into another marriage
without the appearance or occasion of serious
sin. A divorce alone would not affect, or hinder
in any way, your participation in the Catholic
Church. A divorced Catholic is free to receive the
sacraments. However, if you are divorced and
have remarried, or if you are divorced and in
a new relationship, or if you are living with
someone without a Decree of Invalidity (and your
former spouse is still living) you may not partake
of the sacraments, including the reception of
Holy Communion.
