December 28th Feast of the Holy family
Jesus, as we end this year, let us see the power of love that exists
in the human family that should be like your Holy Family.
We all have our faults and failings, but they can be given to You, so
that we can be free to love those who gave us life and took care of
us as children.
Let us see that our parents did the best they could where they were at.
And let us pray for them to come and find the love that You have for all
families.
Jesus, help all children, especially those who had difficult childhoods,
and give them the grace to forgive.
Let this next year be a year of peace and love and forgivness.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday FAMILY FEUD
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=12/28/2014
"The Child's father and mother were marveling." -Luke 2:33
The holy families of today are walking through a mine field. One false
step, and the family is blown up. Christian parents must be Josephs who
know exactly when to leave and where to go. Parents must be divinely
inspired and guided because today even more Herods are searching for
their children to destroy them. Parents must know and live the Bible or
they will be hopelessly confused, and their families will suffer.
Family prayer has never been more necessary. Wives must be submissive
and husbands must love their wives (Col 3:18-19). Now more than ever,
children must obey their parents "in everything as the acceptable way
in the Lord" (Col 3:20).
Today's holy families need order, guidance, prayer, power, and protection.
Families need God, His amazing grace, and daily, if not hourly, miracles.
Holy families, don't be discouraged. The Lord promises: "Those who oppose
you I will oppose, and your sons [and daughters] I will save" (Is 49:25).
"All your sons [and daughters] shall be taught by the Lord, and great
shall be the peace of your children" (Is 54:13). This Christmas, let these
words become flesh in your family (Jn 1:14).
Prayer: Father, may parents be hopeful and confident about their families'
future and eternity because of Your saving love and almighty power.
Promise: "The Child grew in size and strength, filled with wisdom, and the
grace of God was upon Him." -Lk 2:40
Praise: In the Holy Family Mary pondered, Jesus submitted to, and Joseph
accepted God's will.
Monday OBEDIENCE: THE ROAD TO LOVE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=12/29/2014
"Whoever keeps His word, truly has the love of God been made perfect in him." -1 John 2:5
Tuesday BREAK THE WORLD RECORD
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=12/30/2014
"Have no love for the world, nor the things that the world affords." -1 John 2:15

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
THE ELDERLY
"A TIME OF GRACE"
In a special way, old age is a time of grace, in which the Lord renews
His call to us; He calls us to safeguard and transmit the faith, He
calls us to pray, especially to intercede; He calls us to be close to
those in need .... The elderly, grandparents have the ability to
understand the most difficult of situations: a great ability! And when
they pray for these situations, their prayer is strong; it is powerful!
"A GREAT RESPONSIBILITY"
Grandparents, who have received the blessing to see their children's
children (cf. Ps 128:6), are entrusted with a great responsibility: to
transmit their life experience, their family history, the history of a
community, of a people; to share wisdom with simplicity, and the faith
itself - the most precious heritage!
HAPPINESS IS ...
Happy is the family who have grandparents close by! A grandfather is a
father twice over and a grandmother is a mother twice over.
