PM eNewsletter Feast of the Holy family

December 26th Feast of the Holy family

Jesus, You, mom, and Joseph showed us how to live as a family,
yet most of our families are fractured and broken.

We don't pray together, we don't really worship together, and we don't
really even care to be a family.

We are so wrapped up in our own needs that we don't usually see the
needs of our siblings or parents.

Help us to make the commitment to talk to each other, and spend
quality time together.

Lord, give us the grace to make it happen, and slowly change us all into
holy families, giving glory and prasie to You.

Amen and Amen.


Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections

Sunday WHO CARES?
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=12/26/2010

"Take care of your father when he is old; grieve him not as long as he
lives. Even if his mind fail, be considerate with him; revile him not in the
fullness of your strength. For kindness to a father will not be forgotten,
it will serve as a sin offering - it will take lasting root." -Sirach 3:12-14

More children than ever before are being cared for by people other
than their parents. More elderly people are being cared for by people
other than their children than at any other time in history. These trends
are not all bad. Some of this care for children and the elderly is
Christ-centered. It is an expression of compassion for those in difficult
circumstances. Nevertheless, the Lord's plan in general is for parents
to be the primary care-givers for their children and children for their
parents.

This care is humanly impossible to give. This can motivate us to cry out
to God and receive His gift of unconditional love. This will then make
our families "holy families." For our families to begin to become holy, it
is necessary "to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the
hearts of the children to their fathers" (Mal 3:24). Then they will care
and pray for one another and by God's grace be holy.

As Herod tried to destroy the Holy Family (see Mt 2:13), so new Herods
are trying to destroy your family and its holiness. Protect your family by
sacrificially and unconditionally loving your parents and children. Be holy.

Monday THE WORD FOR CHRISTMAS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=12/27/2010

"This is what we proclaim to you: what was from the beginning, what we
have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked
upon and our hands have touched - we speak of the word of life." -1 John 1:1

Tuesday STOP THE ABORTION OF CHRISTMAS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=12/28/2010

"He ordered the massacre of all the boys two years old and under in
Bethlehem." -Matthew 2:16

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/BST/bst2010-12.asp?navlink=latest


Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church


RESPECT FOR HUMAN LIFE


"SPURIOUS ARGUMENTS"

Cultural trends exist that seek to anesthetize consciences with
spurious arguments. With regards to the embryo in the mother's
womb, science itself highlights its autonomy, its capacity for
interaction with the mother, the coordination of biological
processes, the continuity of development, the growing complexity
of the organism.


"VIBRANT WITH LOVE"

Let us entrust our prayers and our commitment to unborn life to
the Virgin Mary, who welcomed the Son of God made man with
her faith, with her maternal womb, with her attentive care, with
her nurturing support, vibrant with love.
