Feast of The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph
We Are Family
On the feast of the Holy Family, it is tempting to compare our own families to the family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Luke’s narrative of the twelve year old Jesus in the temple is not a warning for parents to watch their children closely while travelling. The story looks forward to the time Jesus would be “lost” in the tomb after his crucifixion. Just as his parents found him on the third day, so Jesus would rise from the dead on the third day. And Jesus’ remark, “I must be in my Father’s house” (Lk 2:49) gives us a hint at who is Jesus’ family.
Luke was well aware that the Temple was considered God’s dwelling place. So to call it his Father’s house showed that Jesus was the Son of God. Like Jesus, we call God our father, and like Jesus, we are part of a larger family than the one we live with. But remember Jesus was 12 in this part of the gospel. So his duty to God included being obedient to his parents. We too have a tension between obedience to our parents and following God’s call, a tension between taking care of our children and giving time to God’s children in the church and the community. Let us ask God to help us appreciate what our family obligations really are.
Fiesta de la Sagrada Familia de Jesús, María y José
Somos Familia
En la fiesta de la Sagrada Familia, es tentador comparar nuestras propias familias con la familia de Jesús, María y José. La narración de Lucas sobre Jesús en el templo cuando tenía doce años no es una advertencia para que los padres vigilen de cerca a sus hijos mientras están viajando. Esta historia anticipa el momento en que Jesús estaría “perdido” en la tumba después de su crucifixión. Así como sus padres lo encontraron al tercer día, Jesús resucitaría de entre los muertos al tercer día. Y el comentario de Jesús: "debo ocuparme en las cosas de mi Padre" (Lc 2,49) nos da una pista de quién es la familia de Jesús. Lucas era muy consciente de que se consideraba el Templo como la morada de Dios. Así que llamarlo la casa de su Padre mostraba que Jesús era el Hijo de Dios. Al igual que Jesús, llamamos a Dios nuestro Padre, y al igual que Jesús, somos parte de una familia más grande que aquella con la que vivimos. Pero recuerda que Jesús tenía 12 años en esta parte del evangelio. Así que su deber hacia Dios incluía ser obediente a sus padres. También nosotros tenemos una tensión entre la obediencia a nuestros padres y seguir el llamado de Dios, una tensión entre cuidar de nuestros hijos y dedicar tiempo a los hijos de Dios en la iglesia y en la comunidad. Pidamos a Dios que nos ayude a valorar cuáles son las verdaderas obligaciones familiares.

Only love makes way for unity, which is the fruit of God’s action. For a Christian, having enemies is forbidden. We must love all people, not just those who think like me, or practice the same faith as me. The important thing here is to ask myself what makes me the master of my heart. Or even better, what allows the Lord to be the master of my heart? Is it love or hatred? If, despite wanting to forgive, I cannot do it because I have been a victim of terror or hatred, then I need to ask that question: Who is the master of my heart? Love offers something new to us: to include the enemy, so that it is not hate or revenge that has the last word. In the reign of the Holy Spirit, evil is never the end.
