SOLEMNITY OF THE HOLY FAMILY; SOLEMNITY OF THE HUMBLE SHEPHERDS

/ From the Pastor, Parish Life / By

HUmbleshepherds3Today we celebrate the solemnity of the Holy Family and also the feast of the Humble Shepherds. The feast of the Holy Family is very meaningful for us today. We see the crisis of the Families today and we need a new power of love for our own Families. This is the reason that the Church offers us the good example of the Holy Family, where the obedience and the love is the priority. The Holy Family illustrates also a healthy balance between obedience and freedom, but pain comes when that freedom seems to be abused.

From the other hand the feast of the Humble Shepherds concentrate our caution on our mission – to be the apostles of Jesus Christ our Savior in our modern world.

The Eucharist is like the meeting of the shepherds with the Baby Jesus and His Holy Family. Here and now we get the wisdom of our heavenly Childhood.
