ER THE ROMAN RITE’S liturgical calendar, the first Sunday after Epiphany Day is designated as the Feast of the Holy Family. This feast commemorates the household life of the Child Jesus, His Blessed Virgin Mother and Foster-Father, and presents some familial lessons that never cease in application throughout the year. Here are remarks

from Pope Leo XIII: “Is it not fitting to celebrate the royal birth of the Son of the supreme Father, of the house of David and the glorious names of that ancient line? Yet it is more consoling for us to call to memory the little house at Nazareth and the humble life lived there; thus celebrating the hidden life of our Lord. For there the divine Child received his training in Joseph’s humble trade; there hidden and sheltered, He grew up and showed Himself ready to share the toil of a carpenter’s life. ‘Let the moisture,’ he seemed to say, ‘trickle over my limbs before they are drenched with the torrent of my blood, and the pain of this labor shall go to atone for the sins of men.’ Close to the divine Child is His tender Mother; close to Joseph stands his devoted wife, happy to relieve their toil and suffering by her loving care: O Thou, who wast not free from toil and care and who hast known adversity, come to the aid of the unfortunate, crippled by poverty and struggling against the difficulties of life.” In this lowly dwelling at Nazareth, by practicing the domestic virtues of charity, obedience, mutual help and regard, Jesus, Mary and Joseph

hallowed family life (Collect, Epistle and Gospel). There too they constantly found joy and peace in recollection and prayer in common.

NEW SUNDAY MASS SCHEDULE STARTING MARCH 1ST:

7:00 am; 9:00 am (Low); 11:30 am (High)

AJESTIC QUEEN OF HEAVEN AND MISTRESS OF THE ANGELS, thou didst receive from God the power and commission to crush the head of Satan; wherefore we humbly beseech

thee, send forth the legions of Heaven, that, under thy command, they may seek out all evil spirits, engage them everywhere in battle, curb their insolence, and hurl them back into the pit of Hell. “Who is like unto God?” O good and tender Mother, thou shalt ever be our hope and the object of our love. O Mother of God, send forth the holy Angels to defend us and drive far from us the cruel foe. Holy Angels and Archangels, defend us and keep us. Amen.

Quotes about Holy Matrimony & the Family “Matrimony is a holy thing and is to be treated in a holy

manner”—Council of Trent. “Disorder in society is the result of disorder in the

family”—St. Angela Merici. “The malicious efforts of the wicked are specially directed

against the home, the family circle. Since the family contains the root, the elements of civil society, the

enemies realize well that the hoped-for transformation or rather the hoped-for destruction of all human society

cannot take place before the ruin of the family is accomplished.”—Pope Benedict XV to Fr. Mateo.

“Satan, his demons and their human henchmen know that the fate of mankind depends on the spiritual

durability of family relationships. If one splits the atom, [the basic building block of molecules], tremendous physical disaster results from the explosive forces

released. [Likewise] if one splits the [nuclear] family, [the basic building block of society], tremendous disaster

results from the explosive passions released. There is no law against splitting the atom. But God Himself forbids

splitting the family. ‘What God has joined together, let no man put asunder’” —Fr. Vincent Miceli in The Antichrist. “For socialism to succeed three things must be destroyed:

Property, Religion, and the Family” —Karl Marx.

EFEND, O LORD, we beseech Thee, by the intercession of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, and St. Joseph, this Thy family from all adversity; and mercifully protect

us, who prostrate ourselves before Thee with all our hearts, from the snares of the enemy. Amen
