Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness
and snares of the devil; may God rebuke him,
we humbly pray; and do thou O Prince
of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan and all the other evil spirits
who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.

The Liturgy of the Eucharist
Offertory Hymn: Away In A Manger
Holy
Nicene Creed
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven
and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten
Son of God, born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made. for us men
and for our salvation he came down from heaven,
All Bow.
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate
of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried, and rose again
on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven and is seated
at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.
I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen
Prayer for On Mission for the Church Alive!

Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph�
December 29, 2019�
Rise, take the child
and his mother, flee to
Egypt, and stay there
until I tell you.�
450 miles or�
725 kilometers.�
That’s the distance on modern roads from Bethlehem
to Cairo. Assuming one covered 24 miles or 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.�� � � � LPi�

The Feast of the Holy Family�
It seems appropriate that we
celebrate the Holy Family of
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph during
the Christmas season, just after
families have gathered for
Christmas, frequently with stress
over gift�giving, travel drama, and
the intricacies of meal preparation
for people with their various dietary needs and
preferences. Today’s readings ask us to put family
and life in their sacred and holy perspective. When
we take care of aging parents we care for Christ, who
is with all and in all. When we approach one another
with compassion, kindness, gentleness, and patience,
we communicate Christ’s love. Even when the Lord
leads in ways we cannot quite appreciate or
understand, we must follow God’s will, knowing that
in doing so, we cooperate with God’s grace in our
midst. Every family is called to be a holy family.�

�
Your Holy Family�
Families come in all shapes
and sizes. When asked to
describe your family, you
might begin by telling people
about a parent, sibling, or extended family members.
You might even describe what you have learned
from a genealogical study. You are unlikely,
however, no matter how wonderful your family may
be, to describe your family as holy. And yet, this is
our primary call. Each of us as people of God, and
each of our families, is called to be holy. We are
called to live as God’s people in the world, to
communicate God’s love and presence through the
way that we live together and in relationship with
others. Every family, no matter what their
circumstances, is called to be a holy family. Even
Mary, Joseph, and Jesus faced challenges and trials.
And yet they rose to the occasion, listened to and
followed God’s will, and were assured of the love of
the Lord through it all. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.�
Saint Mark, Saint Michael, Queen of the Rosary 7�
Listen To Your Angel�
Have you ever found yourself at a
crossroads?�
One direction may be momentarily
advantageous or easy, another more
challenging but right or good. It is not
always easy to know which direction
to choose. Discerning our path of life
necessarily involves prayer, the guidance of others
whom we trust, and the promptings of the Holy Spirit
within us. The example of the Holy Family is that
they followed the will of God, trusting in God’s
abiding presence even when they knew that doing so
involved risk and uncertainty.�
�� Mary trusted the voice of the angel, although the
message was beyond comprehension;�
�� Joseph listened to the voice of the Lord in dreams
and proceeded, assured of God’s guiding spirit in
the midst of troubling circumstances.�
This is what our families must do as well.�
Being Christian people in today’s world is not
always easy, even when we know it is right.�
This is the meaning of holiness.�
This is what it means to be a holy family.�

Salvation In Daily Life�
This Sunday is the feast of the Ho-
ly Family, which comes on the first
Sunday after Christmas Day. To-
day’s feast celebrates how the hu-
manity of Jesus (including his entire
family life) has brought saving significance into the
daily rhythms of our human family life. �
The scriptures offer instruction and encourage-
ment on how to share�within our families, parish
families, and the wider human family�the love that
God shares with us in Jesus. Selections from Sirach,
Psalm 128, and Colossians encourage us to reflect
divine love and thus find holiness in all our human
relationships. The reading from Matthew’s Gospel
offers a living example of love in the actions Joseph
took to protect his young family from danger and to
nurture them within the larger family of faith of
their time.� � � � Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.�

Marriage Moments by Susan Vogt�
This year is almost over. Of course this is an
arbitrary division of time, but let it serve your love
by thinking of the top way your beloved served you
this past year. Write it down. Put it under each
other’s pillow tonight. (If one forgets�forgive. Give
another chance.)�
�
Parenting Pointers by Susan Vogt�
December 29 is the Feast of the Holy Family.
What does it mean to be a Holy Family? Who in our
family shows heartfelt compassion, kindness,
humility, gentleness, patience, forgiving one
another, thankfulness… (Col 3:12�13). Perhaps close
with a group hug for above all is Love.�
�
Over all other virtues put on love, �
that is, the bond of perfection.�

commitment and a shared history and is decorated
with forgiveness, acceptance, rituals, discipline and
mutual support. The Holy Family challenges us
today: Don’t live anyplace, live at HOME!�

Sir 3:2�6, 12�14; Col 3:12�21; Mt 2:13�15, 19�23 �
A change in plans�Dreamers can’t explain
themselves. People ask: How could you? Why did
you? And dreamers shrug and smile. They make the
sacrifice, they take the risk, they think differently,
they become someone unimaginable. Ask any artist
or composer, star athlete or entrepreneur, priest or
monk or missionary: How did you become what you
are? They shrug and smile, because it’s hard to tell
someone who hasn’t heard the voice themselves: I
talk to angels, I listen to the universe, I close my eyes
so I can see more clearly. Sit and pay attention to the
holy silence. Rise, take the child and his mother,
flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you.�
�
Monday, Dec 30; Octave of Christmas�
1 John 2:12�17; Luke 2:36�40�
Generation to generation�The gospel anticipates
the New Year with a child’s potential. After
Simeon’s harsh prediction of a sword piercing
Mary’s soul, Anna comforts. She directs the
conversation back to thanking God. She has had time
to prepare for her moment, so when it comes, she
rises to the occasion. Pope Francis linked Anna and
Simeon to grandparents. In a society that too often
dismisses the elderly, grandparents still offer time
and presence, just what children need most. Pray for
and honor the elders in your own family and
community. They carry a consoling message! The
child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom.�
�
Tuesday, Dec 31; Sylvester I, pope�
1 John 2:18�21; John 1:1�18�
Guard the pearl of great price�We know little of
Sylvester I other than that his papacy lasted from 314
until his death in 335. A legend arose around the
eighth century, however, based on a forged
document known as the Donation of Constantine,
that the emperor who famously converted to
Christianity also transferred authority over Rome and
the entire Western Roman Empire to Sylvester and
future popes. While the document was later proven
to be a fake, the papacy nonetheless got ensnared in
power politics, luxury, and the corruption that comes
with trying to rule an empire. As Dante put it in his
Divine Comedy, Ah Constantine, how much evil
was born not from your conversion, but from that
donation that the first wealthy pope received from
you! Don’t practice your faith for worldly gain�
God grants us riches money can’t buy. He was in the
world . . . but the world did not know him.�
�
Wednesday, Jan 01; Mary the Mother of God�
Numbers 6:22�27; Galatians 4:4�7; Luke 2:16�21�
Incarnation in all�The Octave of Christmas
reminds us that all people everywhere share in the
mystery of Incarnation, the communion of divinity
and humanity, revealed in Jesus Christ and realized
in all who are likewise born of women. We celebrate
this mystery whenever we gather to eat and drink the
sacred meal. Our task is to recognize the divine
presence in the least of those with whom we share
this mystical communion, from the baby born in
Bethlehem to the migrant standing at our wall.
Resolve this New Year to lend a helping hand. So
they went in haste and found Mary and Joseph,
and the infant lying in the manger.�

1 John 2:22�28; John 1:19�28�
Let’s be friends�To the Ancients, friendship
seemed the happiest and most fully human of all
loves; the crown of life and the school of virtue.
The modern world, in comparison, ignores it.
When C.S. Lewis referred to the Ancients he might
have had today’s saints, Basil and Gregory
Nazianzen, in mind. Instrumental in the formation of
the Nicene Creed that the church recites each
Sunday, these great bishops and doctors of the
church can also be remembered simply for being two
great and lasting friends. Let them remind us that
deep and warm friendships enrich life in ways that
accomplishments and honorifics, and even creeds,
sublime as they may be, cannot replace. All who
heard it were amazed by what had been told them
by the shepherds.�
�
Friday, Jan 03; Most Holy Name of Jesus�
1 John 2:29�3:6; John 1:29�34�
Called by name�The memorial of the Most Holy
Name of Jesus reminds us of the power of names.
We honor not just the person Jesus, but the name of
Jesus. There is a certain intimacy in knowing a
person’s name. Think of our litanies, our prayers for
people who are sick or who have died. Think of the
genealogy we heard on Christmas Eve. When we
name people, we acknowledge and see them. Think
of the people you see regularly in your school,
workplace, gym, grocery store, faith community.
Remember to call them by name. John the Baptist
saw Jesus coming toward him and said, Behold,
the Lamb of God.�
You are called into one body.�
Bear with one another; forgive one another;�
let Christ’s peace control you.�

Saturday, Jan 04; Elizabeth Ann Seton, religious�
1 John 3:7�10; John 1:35�42�
Be a trailblazer�Elizabeth Ann Seton (1774�1821)
was born into a wealthy Episcopalian family. At 19,
she married William Magee Seton with whom she
had five children. For a brief time, it was a
wonderful life, but soon William’s business and
health failed. Elizabeth was a poor widow and single
mother by the age of 30. Inspired by Catholic friends
who helped care for her dying husband, Elizabeth
became Catholic in 1805. In the following years this
first American�born saint established many firsts: the
first religious community of women and the first
Catholic school, with several more to follow.
Elizabeth Ann Seton’s deep faithfulness reminds us
that nothing is impossible with God. They said to
him, Rabbi (which means Teacher), where do you
stay? Come and see, he answered.�

The Twelve Days of Christmas�
When Oliver Cromwell came to power in England,
Catholics were not permitted to practice their faith
openly. Tradition holds that Catholic parents devel-
oped The Twelve Days of Christmas to teach chil-
dren their beliefs.�
The partridge in a pear tree represents Jesus�
(the partridge will sacrifice its life to save its young).�
Two turtle doves�
The Old and New Testaments�
Three French hens�
Faith, hope, and charity, or the gifts of the Wise Men�
(gold, frankincense, myrrh)�
Four calling birds�
Four Evangelists��Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John�
Five golden rings, Pentateuch�
The first five books of the Old Testament�
(Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronmy)�
Six geese a�laying�
The six days of creation described in Genesis�
Seven swans a�swimming�
The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit�
(wisdom, understanding, counsel, strength,�
knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord)�
Eight maids a�milking�
The eight Beatitudes�
Nine ladies dancing�
The nine choirs of angels�
(Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Virtues,�
Powers, Principalities, Archangels, and angels);�
or the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit�
(love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, patience,�
gentleness, faithfulness, and self�control).�
Ten lords a�leaping�
The Ten Commandments�
Eleven pipers piping�
The eleven faithful Apostles�
Twelve drummers drumming�
The twelve points of belief in the Apostles' Creed�
Christmas is Forever �
�
When the song of the angels is stilled,�
When the star in the sky is gone,�
When the kings and princes are home,�
When the shepherds are back with their flock,�
The work of Christmas begins:�
�
To find the lost,�
To heal the broken,�
To feed the hungry,�
To release the prisoner,�
To rebuild the nations,�
To bring peace among brothers and sisters,�
To make music in the heart.�
