The Holy Family Of Jesus, Mary and Joseph

St. Joseph Catholic Church, 7240 W. 57th St.,

Summit, Illinois

“The Holy Family is a model for all Christian families.”

El domingo entre Navidad y Año Nuevo, la Iglesia celebra el Domingo de la Sagrada Familia. Durante la temporada navideña, nos tomamos un momento para observar más de cerca la vida de Jesús, María y José: la Sagrada Familia. ¿Por qué? Porque la Sagrada Familia es un modelo para todas las familias cristianas. Todos podemos aprender mucho del ejemplo de la Sagrada Familia. Este año, el Año C en el Leccionario, la lectura del Evangelio proviene del

Evangelio de Lucas, y es la historia del hallazgo de Jesús en el templo.

San Lucas nos dice que "cada año los padres de Jesús fueron a Jerusalén para la fiesta de la Pascua, y cuando él tenía doce años, subieron según la costumbre del festival". Hay dos puntos muy importantes a considerar en este solo frase. El primer punto importante es que los padres de Jesús tenían la costumbre de enseñar, transmitir y practicar las tradiciones de su fe religiosa a Jesús. Era costumbre que la familia de Jesús celebrara las fiestas de su fe judía. El segundo punto importante que señala San Lucas es que Jesús tenía 12 años, cuando se perdió y fue encontrado en el Templo tres días después. Muchas veces, cuando se ilustra este incidente en la juventud de Jesús, Jesús es retratado como un niño pequeño, alrededor de los cinco o seis años, pero ese no es el caso. En esta bella imagen titulada Cristo en disputa con los doctores en el templo (~ 1860) de Franz von Rohden, vemos a Jesús representado como un niño mayor, lo que coincide con el punto de San Lucas Evangelista de que Jesús tenía 12 años en este momento . La edad de Jesús es muy importante. A la edad de 12 años, Jesús ya no era un simple niño. Jesús estaba a un año de la virilidad ante los ojos de la ley judía. Además, sus respuestas a las preguntas de los eruditos del Templo mostraron que su condición física era y adulta en la sociedad judía. La edad de 13 años es la edad más joven a la que se hace referencia a alguien como un "hombre" en la Torá. La Torá considera que un hombre de 13 años ha alcanzado la "edad de madurez”.

Eso es lo que hizo la Sagrada Familia de Jesús. ¿Es eso lo que hacemos como padres cristianos? No. No instruimos a nuestros hijos en las oraciones o el conocimiento de los mandamientos de Dios. Los padres católicos de hoy dicen que el trabajo de los maestros en la escuela católica o de los catequistas en la educación religiosa es enseñarles la fe a sus hijos. No, no es. Es tu responsabilidad padres, como María y José. Jesús pudo conversar con los ancianos porque sus padres le enseñaron la fe. Los niños católicos no pueden conversar en su fe católica porque sus padres no les enseñan la fe. Los padres cristianos y católicos dicen que dejarán que sus hijos decidan aprender y practicar su fe cuando sean mayores. De Verdad? ¿Alimenta y viste a sus hijos desde el nacimiento? ¡Entonces, padres, alimenten y vistan a sus hijos espiritualmente desde el nacimiento también! ¡No es responsabilidad de nadie más que de usted! Según un estudio de CARA en 2016 ex católicos, los adultos jóvenes "casi el 63% dijeron que dejaron de ser católicos entre los 10 y los 17 años. Otro 23% dice que abandonaron la Fe antes de los 10 años". ¿Por qué? La respuesta es clara y simple, porque los padres y las familias católicas nunca instruyeron o practicaron su fe católica con sus hijos. Las familias católicas de hoy no enseñan, transmiten ni practican la fe como la Sagrada Familia. Jesús pudo conversar en su fe a la edad de 12 años porque la Sagrada Familia le enseñó la fe.

Por favor oren por las familias católicas. ¡Además, las familias católicas rezan! Que la Sagrada Familia nos ayude con sus oraciones. Sagrada Familia, ruega por nosotros!

Informes del Padre Bob

W niedzielę wypadającą pomiędzy Wigilią Bożego Narodzenia a Nowym Rokiem, Kościół celebruje Święto Świętej Rodziny. W okresie bożonarodzeniowym, zawsze uważniej niż zazwyczaj przyglądamy się życiu Świętej Rodziny: Jezusa, Maryi i Józefa. Święta Rodzina jest wzorem dla każdej chrześcijańskiej rodziny. Możemy się od Świętej Rodziny bardzo wiele nauczyć. Obecny rok jest w Lekcjonarzu Rokiem C, zatem czytanie ewangelijne pochodzi z Ewangelii według św. Łukasza i dotyczy Odnalezienia Jezusa w Świątyni. Święty Łukasz pisze: „Rodzice Jego chodzili co roku do Jerozolimy na

Święto Paschy. Gdy miał lat dwanaście, udali się tam zwyczajem świątecznym” (Łk 2:41-42). Już w tym jednym zdaniu znajdują się dwie istotne kwestie, które należałoby rozważyć. Pierwsza z nich jest taka, że (według tamtejszego zwyczaju) to opiekunowie Jezusa mieli obowiązek nauczenia go oraz wspólnej praktyki żydowskich tradycji. Rodzina Jezusa zwyczajowo obchodziła święta swojej żydowskiej wiary. Po drugie: Ewangelista zwraca uwagę na wiek Jezusa. Był dwunastolatkiem, kiedy odnaleziono Go w Świątyni. W różnych opisach tego epizodu, Jezusa przedstawia się jako małego chłopca, przeważnie 5- lub 6-cioletniego. Tutaj wszakże jest inaczej. Na tym pięknym obrazie z 1860 roku: „Chrystus rozprawiający z uczonymi w Świątyni”, pędzla Franza von Rohdena, Jezus ukazany jest jako chłopiec nieco starszy. Jest to zgodne z przekazem świętego Łukasza, twierdzącego, że Jezus miał 12 lat. I na to właśnie Ewangelista cały czas kładzie nacisk. Zgodnie z żydowskim prawem, dwunastoletni Jezus nie był zwykłym chłopcem – tylko rok dzielił Go bowiem od wejścia w „wiek męski”. Co więcej: dojrzałe odpowiedzi Jezusa na pytania uczonych jasno pokazywały, że wśród Żydów może On już być postrzegany jako dorosły. 13 lat to w Torze wiek, od którego chłopiec staje się mężczyzną. Według tej księgi, 13 lat to początek pełnoletności. Samo odnalezienie Jezusa w Świątyni, jak i Jego rozmowa z uczonymi są dowodami starannego wychowania w wierze, jakie Jezus otrzymał od rodziny. Rodzina odpowiedzialna jest za przekazywanie dzieciom daru wiary oraz jej wspólnego praktykowanie już od najmłodszych lat. Żydowskich rabinów często pytano o to, w jakim wieku dzieci powinny rozpocząć naukę Tory? Odpowiedź na to pytanie otwiera człowiekowi oczy. Od jakiego wieku dziecko ma być przez rodziców karmione? Od jakiego wieku mają zacząć dziecko ubierać? Odpowiedź brzmi: od samego początku. Naukę naszego dziecka, jego duchowy rozwój, musimy zacząć w tej samej chwili, w której ono zaczyna rosnąć, rozumieć, przyswajać różne rzeczy. Żydowscy rabini dzielili naukę Tory u dzieci na etapy. Kiedy tylko dziecko zacznie mówić, ojciec powinien zacząć nauczać je wersetów Tory. W wieku trzech lat chłopiec powinien uczyć się noszenia rytualnych kitek (tzitzit) oraz palenia szabatowych i świątecznych świec. Nastepnie dzieci uczą się na pamięć porannych błogosławieństw, modlitwy dziękczynnej po każdym posiłku, jak też odmawianej przed snem „Szema Jisrael”. W wieku od 6 do 9 lat, rodzice są zobowiązani uczyć dzieci wszystkich przykazań Bożych i zasad wiary oraz posłuszeństwa wobec nich. 13-letni chłopiec oraz 12-letnia dziewczynka nie są już dziećmi, lecz dorosłymi i jako dorośli zobowiązani są do wypełniania Bożych nakazów. Nigdy nie jest zbyt wcześnie na to, aby zacząć przekazywać dzieciom dar wiary. Tak właśnie postępowała Święta Rodzina Jezusa. Czy tak samo postępują chrześcijańscy rodzice? Nie. Nie uczymy naszych dzieci modlitw ani Bożych przykazań. Dzisiejsi rodzice twierdzą, że to zadanie należy do nauczycieli w szkole, czy katechetów na lekcjach religii. Otóż nie! To zadanie należy wyłącznie do Was: rodziców takich, jak Maryja i Józef. Jezus mógł rozmawiać z uczonymi w Świątyni, gdyż wiary nauczyli Go rodzice. Obecnie dzieci nie są w stanie rozmawiać o wierze, bo rodzice ich tego nie uczą. Katoliccy i chrześcijańscy rodzice twierdzą, że zostawią dzieciom wybór; pozwolą im poznać wiarę katolicką w ich własnym tempie, kiedy będą starsze. Czemu w takim razie ubieracie i karmicie swoje pociechy od urodzenia, a nie dopiero wtedy, jak są starsze? Ubierajcie więc i karmcie swoje dzieci od urodzenia także pod względem duchowym! Nikt inny nie jest za to odpowiedzialny, oprócz Was! Zgodnie z wynikami sondażu CARA przeprowadzonego w 2016 roku wśród młodzieży (byłych katolików), 63% zadeklarowało odejście od wiary katolickiej między 10. a 17. rokiem życia. 23% respondentów twierdzi z kolei, że przestało wierzyć już przed 10. rokiem życia. Dlaczego? Rodzice zwyczajnie nigdy nie praktykowali swojej wiary razem z dziećmi, dzieci się o niej nie uczyły. Współcześnie rodziny katolickie nie starają się przekazać daru swojej wiary, tak, jak robiła to Święta Rodzina. Jezus już w wieku 12 lat potrafił w sposób dojrzały rozmawiać o Swojej wierze, gdyż rodzina odpowiednio Go nauczyła. Pamiętajmy w modlitwie o wszystkich katolickich rodzinach! I takie rodziny niech się również modlą! Maryjo, Matko Nieustającej Pomocy, miej nas zawsze w Swej opiece. Święta Rodzino, módl się za nami. Vivat Iesus! Chwała Jezusowi!

FR. BOB’S BRIEFS We are back where we started. Do you remember? Five weeks ago, we began reading through Jesus’

Bread of Life Discourse in the sixth chapter of the Gospel of John. At the beginning of John 6, we read, “Jesus went across the Sea of Galilee. A large crowd followed him because they saw the signs he was performing on the sick.” At that place and time, Jesus miraculously multiplied the five barley loaves and two fish to feed 5,000 people. For the past five weeks, we have heard how this large multitude of people has been constantly been hanging around Jesus. Now, this week, we hear how this vast crowd of people leaves Jesus and go away.

Many of Jesus' disciples who were listening said, "This saying is hard; who can accept it?"Since Jesus knew that his disciples were murmuring about this, he said to them, "Does this shock you? The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and life. But there are some of you who do not believe." As a result of this, many of his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him.” What a different scene it is today, compared to the scene from the previous four weeks. In the previous four weeks, we saw how thousands of people were all gathered around Jesus. Now, they all leave. Jesus is left by Himself by Sea of Galilee. We read in the Gospel of John today, “Jesus then said to the Twelve, "Do you also want to leave?" Simon Peter answered him, "Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God." In the beautiful, but poignant image, we see Jesus left alone, except by the Twelve, His only remaining friends. Jesus stands in the center, looking out at the sunset over the Sea of Galilee. Only the Twelve remain with Jesus. So, we are back where we started: Jesus alone with the Twelve at the edge of the Seas of Galilee. It is a sad and somber scene as Jesus and the Twelve look out over the Sea of Galilee by themselves. Where did everybody go? This scene from today’s Gospel is not just a picture isolated to the past. Does this scene not replay throughout the passage of time? Does this scene not replay in our own time and age? Where are all the people? Next time you are at church, look around. What do you see? I saw no more than 70 people at any of the Masses for the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary last week. The latest statistics show that 80-85% of Catholics do not go to Sunday Mass every week. Just like in today’s Gospel, everybody seems to have left Jesus. Only a few remain with our Lord. It is very ironic that people do not want communion with Jesus in this life, but they want communion with Jesus in heaven for eternal life. Explain to me how do people expect to have communion with God in heaven, if they do not have communion with God beginning here on earth? That’s the culmination and whole point of Jesus’ Bread of Life discourse that we have been hearing for the past five weeks. Jesus gives us His Flesh and Blood so that He can be in Communion with us. Our Lord desires to be one with, to be in union (com-munion) with you, me, and everybody. At Mass, you see the priest pour some water into the chalice filled with wine. When doing so, the priest prays: “By the mystery of this water and wine may we come to share in the divinity of Christ who humbled himself to share in our humanity.” St. Cyprian (210-258 AD) writes, “when the water is mingled in the cup with wine, the people are made one with Christ.”

However, for most people, we don’t want communion with God. We only follow after God, like the people in the Gospel, because we want God to give us things. God is like a type of Santa Claus, who is supposed to give me things in life. I read once somewhere that “God is not a ‘Cosmic Concierge’ who lives only to satisfy each and every one of our whims.” Yet, that is how we treat God too often in our life. “God give me this. God give me that.” We seek out God to get things from Him. Our God seeks us out to be close to us, to be in communion with us. The Latin root of communion is communio, meaning "fellowship, mutual participation, or association." The relationship that that Jesus is seeking with us is different than the relationship that we seek from Him. Jesus wants fellowship with us. Our Lord desires to share His Divine life and love with us. He asks the same question that He asked the Twelve earlier. "Do you also want to leave?" Do we stay with Jesus or do we leave Him?

Please pray for the safety of all who serve us in the military. May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Good Help, help us with her maternal care, and may St. Joseph pray for us. Vivat Jesus! Live Jesus!

On the Sunday between Christmas and New Year’s Day, the Church celebrates Holy Family Sunday. During the Christmas season, we take a moment to look closer at the life of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph: the Holy Family. Why? Because the Holy Family is a model for all Christian families. We all can learn a lot from the example of the Holy Family. This year, Year C in the Lectionary, the Gospel reading comes from the Gospel of Luke, and it is the story of the Finding of Jesus in Temple. St. Luke tells us that “each year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem for the feast of Passover, and when he was twelve years old, they went up according to festival custom.” There

are two very important points to consider in just this one sentence. The first important point is that it was the custom of the parents of Jesus to teach, pass on, and practice the traditions of their religious faith to Jesus. It was customary for the family of Jesus to celebrate the feasts of their Jewish faith. The second important point that St. Luke notes is that Jesus was 12 years old, when he was lost and found in the Temple three days later. A lot of times when this incident in Jesus’ youth is illustrated, Jesus is portrayed a young child, around five or six years old, but that is not the case. In this beautiful image entitled Christ Disputing with the Doctors in the Temple (~1860) by Franz von Rohden, we see Jesus depicted as being an older boy, which conforms to St. Luke the Evangelist’s point that Jesus was 12 years old at this time. The age of Jesus is very important. At the age of 12, Jesus was no longer a mere boy. Jesus was a year away from manhood in the eyes of Jewish Law. Moreover, His answers to questions from the Temple scholars showed His fitness to be and adult in Jewish society. The age of 13 is the youngest age at which someone is referred to as a “man” in the Torah. The Torah considers a male of 13 years to have reached the “age of maturity.”

What we see happening in this incident of Jesus being found in the Temple and conversing with the Temple elders on religious subjects demonstrates the good religious upbringing and instruction that Jesus received from His family. It is the duty and responsibility of the family to instruct, pass on, and practice their faith with their children from an early age. The Jewish rabbis were often asked at what age should children begin their instruction of the Torah? Their answer is enlightening. From what point are parents obligated to feed their child? At what age are parents required to begin providing clothes for their child? From the very beginning. Just as a child begins to grow and mature, absorb and ingest, so does our obligation to educate our child and provide for their spiritual nourishment and growth. In Jewish life, the rabbis taught different stages in the obligation to teach the Torah to one’s children. When a child begins to speak, the father should begin teaching him verses of Torah. The age of three marks another milestone in a child's education: at this age it is customary to begin training a boy to wear ritual tassels (tzitzit) and to light Sabbath and holiday candles. Children are then taught to recite the morning blessings, the Grace after Meals, and the Shema before going to bed. Between the ages of 6 and 9, it is the obligation of parents to start training their children to learn and follow all the precepts and commandments of God. At the age of 13, for a boy, or 12 for a girl, a person is no longer a child, but a the new adult, and becomes obligated to fulfill all of God's commandments. It is never too early to begin educating your child in the faith.

That is what the Holy Family of Jesus did. Is that what we do as Christian parents? No. We don’t instruct our children in prayers or knowledge of God’s commandments. Catholic parents today say it’s the job of teachers in Catholic school or catechists in Religious Education to teach the faith to their children. No it’s not. It’s your responsibility parents, like Mary and Joseph. Jesus was able to converse with the Elders because He was taught the faith by His parents. Catholic children are not able to converse in their Catholic faith because they are not taught the faith by their parents. Christian and Catholic parents say they will let their children decide to learn and practice their faith when they are older. Really? Do you feed and clothe your children from birth? Then, parents, feed and clothe your children spiritually from birth as well! It’s not anyone else’s responsibility but your own! According to a CARA study in 2016 former Catholics, young adults “nearly 63% said they stopped being Catholic between the ages of 10 and 17. Another 23% say they left the Faith before the age of 10.” Why? The answer is clear and simple, because Catholic parents and families never instructed or practiced their Catholic faith with their children. Catholic families today do not teach, pass on, or practice the faith like the Holy Family. Jesus could converse in His faith at the age of 12 because the Holy Family taught Him the faith.

Please pray for Catholic families. Moreover, Catholic families pray! May the Holy Family help us with their prayers. Holy Family, pray for us! Vivat Jesus! Live Jesus!

Prayer to the Holy Family

O most loving Jesus, Who by Thy sublime and beautiful virtues of humility, obedience, poverty, modesty, charity, patience and gentleness, and by the example of Thy domestic life, didst bless with peace and happiness the family Thou didst choose on earth, in Thy clemency look down upon this household, humbly prostrate before Thee and imploring Thy mercy. Remember that this family belongs to Thee; for to Thee we have in a special way dedicated and devoted our-selves. Look upon us in Thy loving kindness; preserve us from danger; give us help in time of need, and grant us the grace to persevere to the end in the imitation of Thy Holy Family; that having revered Thee and loved Thee faithfully on earth, we may bless and praise Thee eternally in heaven.

O Mary, most sweet Mother, to thy intercession we have recourse, knowing that thy Divine Son will hear thy prayers.

And do thou, O glorious Patriarch, St. Joseph, assist us by thy powerful mediation, and offer, by the hands of Mary, our prayers to Jesus. Amen.
