This Week:

Union of the Family

The celebration of the Holy family in

the Christmas season is an opportunity

to review and or examine our family

life. We celebrate the mystery of Jesus Christ, the

Word of God, who upon incarnating in the human

family followed the normal course of every person who

is born into a human family as well. However, we are

not only members of a human family but also by

baptism, we belong to the family of God.

The Son of God, the second person of the Holy Trinity

became man so that man could become a son or

daughter of God. The son of God was born on earth so

that man could be born in heaven. Jesus entered the

world of limitations and suffering so that one day we

can enter into the joy of his full glory.

Romans 6:10

Our parish is a family of families. The family life

offers us many wonderful experiences as well as

challenges that can test our endurance and patience.

The family is that setting where spouses or parents,

children, brothers and sisters learn to communicate

and show general concern for one another. I know

my father told me time and time again, “Mark will

you please show compassion to your sister, she is

the only one you got.”

WAYS TO CONNECT

A Prayer for the Family

Jesus, our most loving redeemer, You came to enlight-

en the world with your teaching and example. You

willed to spend the greater part of Your life in humble

obedience to Mary and Joseph in the poor home of

Nazareth. In this way, You sanctified that family,

which was to be an example for all Christian families.

Graciously accept our family, which we dedicate and

consecrate to You this day. Be pleased to protect.

Guard and keep it in holy fear, in peace and in harmony

of Christian charity. By conforming ourselves to the

Divine model of Your family. May we attain to eternal

happiness. (New St. Joseph People’s Prayer book)

Conception January 22, 2021 at 6:30PM.

Indiana March for Life and Rally

January 22, 2021 - 12 noon

The Indiana March for Life will begin at Georgia St. near St. John’s Church and proceed to the Indiana Statehouse. The rally will then follow on the south lawn of the Statehouse.

Registration is highly recommended, and can be done here:

https://rtlindy.org/home/volunteer/indiana-march-for-life/ Diapers will be collected at the march and rally for distribu-tion to local crisis pregnancy centers.

Nonetheless, in a family friction may occur

through differences in point of view or opinion and

conflicts have to be resolved, not by hurling insults,

but rather by dialogue, respect, concern for the

good of the other, mercy, and forgiveness. From

within families the values of love, respect, mercy,

and purity spill out into the world and radiate the

whole of society.

The family is indeed decisive for the future

of the world and society. For that reason, each

week during Mass, we pray for a different family of

the parish at the Church of the Blessed Sacrament,

that we will be a leaven of new life in our surround-

ing, strengthened in the values of God’s kingdom

and confirmed in virtue not only for our good but

also for the good of society. May it be so. Amen.

The Parish office will be closed until January 6th.

We look forward to seeing you and your families in

the new year!

Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God
