Fr. Greg's Notes
Dear Friends,
Most of us have imperfect families. This Sunday, we celebrate not the feast of the perfect family but the Holy Family. There is dysfunction in all families, even the Holy Family.
While traveling, Joseph and Mary could not find Jesus. They searched and finally found him in the temple. Mary communicates with her son. “Your father and I have been worried about you. Couldn’t you have told us where you were going?”
What can we learn from this? We are called to be holy families, not perfect families. To become better members of our family we need to have kindness, gentleness, and patience with one another. We need to be forgiving.
We also need to commit to listen to God. There are so many voices to listen to in society. What if we, as a family, commit to listen to God above all other voices?
Peace,
Fr. Greg
