SALVATION IN DAILY LIFE

This Sunday is the feast of the Holy Family, which comes on

the first Sunday after Christmas Day. Today’s feast celebrates

how the humanity 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 encouragement 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.

NEXT SUNDAY The Knights will be cooking french

toast, scrambled eggs, bacon, and more after 8:30 am Mass.

Please join us for good food and fellowship!

SAINT THOMAS BECKET (1118-1170) December 29

To anyone who imagines conflict between religion and politics to be a modern phenomenon, history witnesses

otherwise. Martyred under Henry VIII in 1535, Thomas More declared, “I die the king’s good servant, but God’s

first!” Thomas Becket could have said the same four centuries earlier. As Henry II’s closest friend and trusted

chancellor, Becket, the king presumed, could be counted on, if made archbishop, to deliver the church to royal

control. But Becket experienced a profound conversion, confirmed by the ordination liturgy’s rich symbolism of the

bishop as Good Shepherd and the church as Bride of Christ. Renouncing secular responsibilities, distributing his

wealth to the poor, Thomas became the church’s uncompromising champion. Faced with this “new” Becket, the

king’s previous friendship turned into a ferocious, almost irrational hatred. As eight centuries later, Archbishop

Romero would be martyred at the altar of Christ’s sacrifice, Becket was slain before the altar of Canterbury

Cathedral by royal agents, neither the first nor last good shepherd to lay down his life as the price of freedom for

Christ’s church and justice for Christ’s sheep. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
