Fr. mark's weekly reflection.

The Holy Family: The Perfect Family?

The Sunday after Christmas is the Feast of the Holy Family. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph are the perfect model for families. In their home in Nazareth, it was literally “heaven on Earth” because their love and unity were a mirror of the love and unity of the Holy Trinity. In a mystical way, St. Joseph represents God the Father, Mary represents God the Holy Spirit, and of course, Jesus is God the Son! During the thirty years of Jesus’ “hidden life,” their living together must have been something wonderful. The love just kept growing and growing. St. Joseph became more and more holy because his work and everything he did was literally for God and for Our Lady! Mary’s Immaculate Heart burned with a flame of love greater than all the angels and saints combined as she “treasured all of these things in her heart” (Luke 2:51). Jesus remained with them for thirty years because it was not necessary to leave the home or the village in order to begin his mission. His mission was love, and it began within the confines of that poor house and that modest town. Within this small space, the mind and the heart of God’s Incarnate Son were growing. His human heart and mind were developing and expanding until they began to embrace all of humanity: “Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.” (Luke 2:52). Our High School Youth Group chose the name “Youth 252” because of this passage in the Gospel of Luke: chapter two, verse 52, which describes what was happening to Jesus when he was twelve years old. 

The Holy Family was perfectly holy, but that doesn’t mean that everything was perfectly easy and went perfectly smoothly. The Bible clearly shows that the family life of the Holy Family was filled with many dark, difficult, and disturbing days. Simeon foretold that the child would face opposition and that Mary’s heart would be pierced. They fled in fear when the innocents were slain in Bethlehem. They suffered deprivation during their exhausting exile in Egypt. They experienced deprivation and uncertainty when they settled in the poor, obscure village of Nazareth. They had no fame or distinction and lived the same life of hard labor as every family in that village. Scripture says that when Jesus was twelve, they lost him for three days. Tradition says that when Jesus was still young, Joseph died and that Joseph had been tormented by the foreknowledge that he would not be there with his wife on the day of their Son’s saving sacrifice. Joseph’s death left a sad, silent space in their home and in their workshop.

The Bible is clear that family life is a great blessing, but that it always has its struggles and its shadows. Love is a risk, but it is worth it. We should not let it bother us if our families are not perfect. It is the Divine Will that we live together with our families despite all the vagaries, uncertainties, and tragedies. Family life is not perfect, but it leads us to the only perfection that matters: that of the heart. That is why God came and spent thirty years in a family, and only three years on a public mission. 

For this Feast of the Holy Family today, we have a very long Gospel reading (Luke 2:22-40) which describes both the joys and the sorrows of family life. It is the joyful mystery of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple. When Mary and Joseph proudly present the baby Jesus to the temple priest, “Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, ‘Behold, this child is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be contradicted —and you yourself a sword will pierce.’” 

Then the Gospel story describes the life of a woman who had tried to find happiness in married life but only found the deep pain of being a widow and a life of prayer and sacrifice like that of a nun. The prophetess Anna “lived seven years with her husband after her marriage, and then as a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day with fasting and prayer. And coming forward at that very time, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were awaiting the redemption of Jerusalem.” Here, we see again that marriage and family life are not always perfect. Many people marry but do not experience perfect happiness because of sickness, death, childlessness, sorrow, and separation. But we should not run away from family life. Today’s feast reminds us to strive to go back to our hometown and spend quality time with our family. We must return to the family as the place where the children can grow into strong adults, and where the adults can practice the virtues that make them grow in maturity and holiness. We must do what the Holy Family did after presenting Jesus in the temple: “They returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favor of God was upon him.”

Gospel Meditation

Do we sometimes think that Jesus is given only to the highly qualified, special religious people? In the Gospel of Luke today we hear about the presentation of the Lord in the temple. The newborn son of God is passed around like a baton in a relay race, not guarded like a precious jewel or a breakable china dish. We can see him going from the arms of Mary to Joseph, then to the priest performing the ceremony, then to Simeon the old man, and then to Anna the old widow. Each one receives him and then hands him to the next. A tidal wave of joy and thanksgiving follows wherever he is placed. Believe me, you are qualified to hold Jesus in your arms. How can I say that with such confidence? Because the mother decides who is qualified. The Blessed Virgin, embodied in the Church, holds him out to you and me. She rejoices to place him in our arms to hold and to hand him on, too.

— Father John Muir

Reflexión semanal del p. mark.

La Sagrada Familia: ¿Una Vida Familiar Perfecta?

Este domingo después de la Navidad es la Fiesta de la Sagrada Familia. Jesús, María y José son el modelo perfecto para las familias. Su vida familiar en el hogar de Nazaret era lo que se dice “heaven on earth” (“un cielo en la Tierra”), porque su amor y su unidad eran como un espejo del amor y la unidad de la Santísima Trinidad. De manera mística, San José representa a Dios Padre, María representa a Dios Espíritu Santo y, por supuesto, ¡Jesús es Dios Hijo! Durante treinta años vivian completamente desconocidos por el mundo. Eran los anos escondidos (en ingles se dice “the hidden years”). Sin embargo, estos años en Nazaret eran maravillosos y sumamente importantes. Allí el amor creció y creció continuamente. San José se volvió cada vez más santo porque su trabajo y todo lo que hacía fue hecha para Dios y para Nuestra Señora. El Inmaculado Corazón de María “guardaba todas estas cosas en su corazón” (Lucas 2:51), y su corazón ardía con una llama de amor mayor que todos los ángeles y santos combinados. Jesús permaneció con ellos durante treinta años porque no era necesario salir ni del hogar ni del pueblo para comenzar su misión. Su misión fue amor, y esta misión comenzó dentro de los confines de esa pobre casita pobre y de esa modesta aldea. Dentro de este pequeño espacio, iba creciendo la mente y el corazón del Hijo Encarnado de Dios. Su corazón humano era también divino, y su mente humano era también divino. Ese corazón y esa mente crecieron y se fueron desarrollando y expandiendo hasta que comenzaron a abrazar a toda la humanidad: “Jesús crecía en sabiduría y estatura, y en favor para con Dios y los hombres” (Lucas 2:52). En esta parroquia tenemos un Grupo Juvenil que se llama “Youth 252.” Los jóvenes escogieron este número porque es un pasaje de la Biblia. El numero “252” indica el capítulo dos, versículo 52, del evangelio de San Lucas. Este versículo describe lo que le sucedió a Jesús cuando tenía doce años de edad.

La Sagrada Familia era perfectamente sagrada, pero esto no significa que para ellos todo fuera perfectamente fácil y transcurriera perfectamente. La Biblia muestra claramente que la vida familiar de la Sagrada Familia estuvo llena de muchos días oscuros, difíciles e preocupantes. Simeón predijo que el niño tendría que enfrentar oposición y que el corazón de María sería traspasado por una espada de dolor. Tuvieron que huir atemorizados cuando asasinaron los santos inocentes en Belén. Padecieron privaciones y fueron agotados de cansancio durante su exilio en Egipto. Experimentaron incertidumbre cuando se establecieron en la pobre y oscura aldea de Nazaret. No gozaron ninguna fama o privilegio. Tenían que trabajar duro como cualquier familia de Nazaret. La escritura dice que cuando Jesús tenía doce años, lo perdieron por tres días. La tradición dice que cuando Jesús aún era joven, José murió, y que José había sido atormentado al saber que no iba a poder estar allí con su esposa cuando llegara el día de la Pasión de Jesús. La muerte de Joseph dejó un espacio triste y silencioso en su casa y en su taller. La Biblia dice claramente que la vida familiar es una gran bendición, pero que en la vida familiar hay también sombras de tristeza y dolor. El amor es un gran riesgo, pero vale la pena. Al amar, tomamos un gran riesgo, pero eso no debe desconcertar. No debemos preocuparnos al saber que nuestra vida familiar no es perfecta. Es la Voluntad Divina que vivamos juntos en familia, a pesar de todos los incertidumbres, caprichos, y tragedias. La vida familiar no es algo perfecta, pero nos lleva a la única perfección que vale: la del corazón. Por eso el Señor quiso pasar treinta años en su vida familiar, y solamente tres años en su misión pública.

Para esta Fiesta de la Sagrada Familia, tenemos una lectura muy larga del Evangelio (Lucas 2:22-40) que describe tanto las alegrías como las tristezas de la vida familiar. Se trata del misterio gozoso de la Presentación de Jesús en el Templo. Cuando María y José son gozosos cuando presentan al niño Jesús al sacerdote del templo, pero al instante se menciona los dolores del futuro: “Simeón lo tomó en brazos y bendijo a Dios… Simeón los bendijo, y a María, la madre de Jesús, le anunció: “Este niño ha sido puesto para ruina y resurgimiento de muchos en Israel, como signo que provocará contradicción, para que queden al descubierto los pensamientos de todos los corazones. Y a ti, una espada te atravesará el alma.”

Luego, el relato evangélico describe la vida de la profetisa Ana, una mujer que había intentado de encontrar la felicidad en la vida matrimonial, pero resultó viuda y pasó una vida de oración y sacrificio como una monja: “Era una mujer muy anciana. De joven, había vivido siete años casada y tenía ya ochenta y cuatro años de edad. No se apartaba del templo ni de día ni de noche, sirviendo a Dios con ayunos y oraciones. Ana se acercó en aquel momento, dando gracias a Dios y hablando del niño a todos los que aguardaban la liberación de Israel.” Nuevamente vemos claramente que el matrimonio y la vida familiar no siempre es ideal. Muchas personas se casan sin experimentar una perfecta felicidad debido a la enfermedad, la muerte, separación de hijos, etc. Sin embargo, no debemos huir de la vida familiar. Hoy celebramos la fiesta de la Sagrada Familia para recordarnos que tenemos que esforzarnos en la vida familiar. Si es posible, debemos volver a la patria y a la ciudad natal y a la familia de origen. Debemos pasar tiempo de calidad con nuestra familia. No debemos ser flojos para hacer el trabajo mas difícil que es trabajar la intimidad, exigir la comunicación y construir las relaciones interpersonales. Debemos defender y promover la vida familiar que es el único lugar apropiado para criar niños, y para vivir como adultos maduros. Es en familia que los niños pueden crecer y convertirse en adultos, y es en familia que los adultos pueden practicar virtudes y crecer en madurez y santidad. Todos tienen que hacer lo que hizo la Sagrada Familia después de presentar a Jesús en el templo: “Volvieron a Galilea, a su propia ciudad de Nazaret. El niño creció y se hizo fuerte, lleno de sabiduría; y el favor de Dios fue sobre él”.

Meditación Evangélico

“En cada familia hay problemas, y a veces también se discute. Padre me he peleado…; somos humanos, somos débiles, y todos tenemos a veces este hecho de que peleamos en la familia. Os diré una cosa: si nos peleamos en familia, que no termine el día sin hacer las paces. Si, he discutido, pero antes que termine el día, haz las paces. Y sabes ¿por qué? Porque la guerra fría del día siguiente es muy peligrosa. No ayuda. Y luego, en la familia hay tres palabras, tres palabras que hay que custodiar siempre: Permiso, gracias, perdón (Papa Francisco 12/27/2020). ¿Qué debo trabajar en mi familia para vivir en armonía? ©LPi

Prayer of the Faithful

We pray that, God will provide us the strength to forgive those that have hurt us. 

Oramos para que Dios nos provea de fortaleza para perdonar a aquellos que nos han hecho daño. 

Spiritual Communion

Even if one cannot sacramentally receive the Eucharist, everyone should be aware of the practice of making a spiritual communion. The following is a daily prayer for Spiritual Communion:

O my Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament.

I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,

come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace you as if you were already there and

unite myself wholly to you.

Never permit me to be separated from you.

-St. Alphonsus Liguori

Stewardship Reflections

Feast of the Holy Family

“…as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must forgive.” - Colossians 3:13

Forgiving is one of the hardest things for people to do. We can’t give what we don’t have. We need to receive God’s mercy and forgiveness first before we can give it to others. Go to the sacrament of Reconciliation and receive God’s mercy and forgiveness. Then, share the gift of forgiveness with someone – a family member, a friend, or a co-worker. Pick up the phone or text someone right now. 

Fiesta de la Sagrada Familia

“...Como el Señor los ha perdonado, así deben ustedes perdonar.” - Colosenses 3-13

Perdonar es una de las cosas difíciles para las personas. No podemos dar lo que no tenemos. Necesitamos recibir la misericordia y el perdón de Dios antes de darlos a otras personas. Acérquese al sacramento de la Reconciliación y reciba la misericordia y el perdón de Dios. Entonces, comparta el don del perdón con alguien - un miembro de la familia, un amigo o un compañero de trabajo. Tome su teléfono y llame o envíe un mensaje de texto a alguien, justo en este momento. 

Children's Prayer

Sharing the Gospel

Mary and Joseph went to the temple and presented the baby Jesus to God. Two older people recognized that Jesus was the Messiah. They gave him special blessings. They thanked God for this child. Just like Mary and Joseph, your parents gave thanks to God when you were born. They were very happy God gave you to them. They had you baptized in church, and presented you as a gift to God, too.

Lord, thank you for bringing the baby Jesus into my life.

Something to Draw

Draw Mary and Joseph carrying the baby Jesus to the altar in the temple.

Saint of the Week

V. MOTHER MARY ELIZABETH LANGE | 1783-1882   

Michelle Elizabeth Clarisse Lange’s early life is not well documented. She was born between 1783 and 1794, some sources claim her birthplace as San Domingo, Hispaniola, and others suggest Santiago de Cuba. Eventually, Lange immigrated to the United States as a free person and ended up in Baltimore, Maryland in 1813. In Baltimore at the time, free people of color outnumbered those who were enslaved and there was an established community of other French-speaking, Catholic, Afro-Caribbean refugees from the Haitian Revolution.

VENERABLE MADRE MARÍA ISABEL LANGE | 1783-1882

Los primeros años de vida de Isabel Clarisa Lange no están bien documentados. Nació entre 1783 y 1794, algunas fuentes afirman que su lugar de nacimiento es San Domingo, Hispaniola, otras sugieren Santiago de Cuba. Eventualmente, Lange emigró a los Estados Unidos como una persona libre y terminó en Baltimore, Maryland en 1813. En Baltimore en ese momento, las personas de color libres superaban en número a las que estaban esclavizadas y había una comunidad establecida de otros católicos de habla francesa, refugiados afrocaribeños de la revolución haitiana.

WELCOME TO INCARNATION!

We are from near and far. We are married couples, single persons, widows, widowers, and religious sisters and brothers living in community. We have young children, we are raising teenagers, we take care of our aging parents, and some of us are empty-nesters!

A CREATIVE APPROACH TO RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

Our Generations of Faith (“GOF”) program incorporates all learning in our parish, from Adult Formation such as Friday morning Scripture; to Sacrament Preparation and grade-level classes for children. Central to our program are the four GOF learning events we have each year.

Where to attend Easter vigil, Easter Mass in El Paso County

Many El Pasoans continue Easter traditions rooted in the Catholic faith, passed down by generations before them.

Hundreds of families will flock to the heart of El Paso for prayer under the breathtaking architecture of St. Patrick's Cathedral. Others will venture into Segundo Barrio's humble neighborhoods for noon Mass at St. Ignatius. In the Lower Valley, loved ones will gather on the historic wooden pews inside the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish.

These sacred traditions live on in El Paso, where 78% of the population is Catholic, which makes El Paso one of the most Catholic cities in the country, according to the Catholic Diocese of El Paso.

There are 56 parishes and 17 mission churches in the Diocese of El Paso's footprint, which encompasses 10 counties in far West Texas, the diocese cites on its website.

In Catholic tradition, in addition to Easter Sunday Mass, an Easter vigil is typically held the night before, following sunset. At this vigil, parishioners experience Jesus' rising from the dead before celebrating the Lord's resurrection.

Here are some Catholic churches across El Paso celebrating the holy weekend:
