Faith Formation Happenings
Holy FamiliesThe lovely gospel accounts that we revel in during these days of Christmastime hold up for us the image of Jesus,Mary and Joseph, the Holy Family of Nazareth. And so, we celebrate the Holy Family on the Sunday after ChristmasDay. It's easy to gaze on the images in the Christmas crib and recognize the holiness of the newborn Jesus, his motherand his guardian. It may be harder to look at your own children or parents or brothers and sisters and see reflectionsof that same holiness in them. After all, living together, you see each other's bad sides as well as the good, the wartsas well as the dimples.
But if we truly believe in what we are celebrating, the incarnation of God in the flesh, and the fact that Jesussaved us by his death and resurrection into which we are baptized, then we must cultivate the ability to see a reflectionof the baby Jesus' holiness in each child in our own families, to see the holiness of Mary and of Joseph reflected inourselves as parents and in our own parents.
Maybe it will help to remember not just the gurgling baby Jesus in the crib, but also the toddler Jesus at agetwo — in his own version of the "terrible twos." Or to meditate on Mary and Joseph changing diapers and picking upthe ancient Palestinian version of Cheerios from the kitchen floor — and the living room floor and the bedroom floorand. . . . The gospels are silent about Jesus' childhood, but truly human as well as truly God, Jesus no doubt hadnosebleeds and skinned knees, tried dangerous stunts, didn't get enough sleep sometimes and so was cranky. Maybethere were even battles over homework. (Jesus would have studied Hebrew and the scriptures.)
And think of Jesus as a teenager. We get a glimpse of him in the gospel of Matthew at age twelve, wanderingoff in Jerusalem, causing Mary and Joseph to panic. Of course, he didn't have the opportunity to take driver's ed orask for the car keys, but there were a myriad of other but similar parent-teen encounters, to be sure.
Some may find such speculation to be sacrilegious. "Jesus is perfect," they'll object. "Jesus is God!" How verytrue. And Jesus was a baby, a teenager, a young adult, too. True God, true man. And maybe, just maybe one of thedelights of this Christmas season is that some of the small quirky things about us as human beings — the terrible twos,the teenage struggle for independence, parents' angst about their child — maybe all of these are holy and part of whatit means to grow toward perfection.
So as we come to Mass this weekend, and we say goodbye to 2017 and step into 2018, let's not just make NewYear's resolutions to do the "same old, same old"....exercise more, lose weight, run a marathon, join a yogaclass all of which are great goals. Let's focus on the importance of family and how we can help one another to"grow to perfection, for God." Many wishes for a Healthy, Safe and Blessed New Year!!
