WORSHIP
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 29, 2013
The Holy Family
"Rise, take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt." What a
dream! Or was it a nightmare? To be commanded to take flight like refugees in the night, to have a newborn baby and no time to pack or plan, all
this must have been frightening to say the least.
Joseph was no stranger to life-changing dreams though. He had
already been told in a dream to take Mary as his wife, even though she
was with child. He had planned to divorce her, but the dream completely
changed his course. And now God was asking him to change course
again, to relocate his family and live as aliens in a foreign land, under the
shadow of Herod's headhunt for their son. But Joseph accepted these
trials, placing his trust in God.
Although few of us have dreams like Joseph did, we do share
with him the challenge of reconciling our plans with the hard facts of
reality. When things don't go our way, we can respond with bitterness, or
like the Holy Family, we can recognize an opportunity to deepen our
faith in God's providence.
The holiness of this family did not prevent them from suffering. Rather, their holiness kept the suffering from overwhelming them.
Even with the twists and turns in their path, they never got lost. Their
faith in God was like a spiritual compass that kept them oriented in the
most unfamiliar circumstances. When we too are called to change course
in life, may we remember to let God show us the way.

call Eileen if you would like to join us for “A Slice of LIFE”.
We have some families that are going through some difficult times. If
you could help with “LIFE Support” and donate just a small amount,
cash or check, to help defer the cost for some of these families, it would
be GREATLY appreciated. Make a check out to St. Augustine and in
the memo area please write “LIFE Support” or place cash in an envelope with “LIFE Support” and your name on the outside. Thank
you!!! Fran
Invitation
Please join our children on Epiphany Saturday night at the 5:30pm
Mass as they re-enact the narration story of Our Lord.
Youth and Children proclaiming the Narration should be at church
by 4:45pm.
"Scholars suggest that there is a deeper lesson in Jesus having to be born
in a stable because there was no room for him in the inn. What is being
stressed is not so much lack of hospitality by an innkeeper, but rather the
fact that Jesus was born outside of a city, outside of what is comfortable,
outside of glamour and fame, outside of being recognized by the rich and
the powerful, and beyond notice by the everyday world. Jesus was born
in anonymity, poor, outside of all notice, except for family and God."
"Mary gave birth to the Christ in a stable because there was no room for
them in the inn. This is a comment on more than just the busyness and
inhospitality of some ancient innkeeper. It is a comment upon what, in
fact, lies deepest within human life. In essence, what it says is that it is
not those who sit at the center of things, the powerful, the rich, the famous, the government leaders, the entertainment celebrities, the corporate heads, the scholars and academics, who ultimately sit at the center of
life. What deepest and most meaningful inside of life lies in anonymity,
unnoticed by the powerful, tenderly swaddled in faith, outside the city."
L.I.F.E. Elementary Sunday—The next session is January 5th for
the 9:45am session. We are in need of parents to assist the teacher for
the 9:45am class. No training needed. Contact Fran Kuzma

EDGE—MIDDLE SCHOOL REL. ED
Our Next EDGE Session will be held on Monday, January 6th,
2014. Topic: Full, Active, Conscious—The Mass
Worship Corner:
Could the song, "Twelve Days of Christmas" have a different meaning?
1 partridge in a pear tree = Jesus Christ, the Son of God
2 turtledoves = the Old and New Testaments
3 French hens = the theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity
4 calling birds = the four gospels and/or the four evangelists (Matthew,
Mark, Luke, and John)
5 golden rings = the first five books of the Old Testament
6 geese a-laying = the six days of creation
7 swans a-swimming = the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit and/or the seven
sacraments
8 maids a-milking = the Eight Beatitudes
9 ladies dancing = the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit
10 lords a-leaping = the Ten Commandments
11 pipers piping = the 11 faithful disciples (minus Judas, who betrayed
Christ)
12 drummers drumming = the 12 points of doctrine in the Apostles'
Creed
Parent/Grandparent Challenge— Parents are the primary teachers of
their children. Let’s work together to help our children learn their prayers.
1. K—1st grade Our Father, Hail Mary
2.
2nd-3rd grade Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, & Act of Contrition
3. 4th-5th grader Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, Act of Contrition
and by Easter—The Creed
Praying together as a family and coming to Mass is the best way to
show your children the importance of prayer and to help them learn.
Turning the radio off and iPods, etc.. and doing the prayers in the car is
another great way to learn the prayers.
LIFETEEN—HIGH SCHOOL REL. ED
Our next LIFETEEN session will be held on Monday, January
6th, 2014. Topic: Tweeting #Jesus—Teaching
Children’s Liturgy of the Word is the opportunity for our children to

LA SAGRADA FAMILIA
Reflexiones
La Sagrada Familia
Las familias son el signo de la presencia del amor
de Dios en el mundo. Bueno, eso sería lo ideal, ya que
todos estamos llamados a vivir la fe desde la intimidad
del hogar. En la sociedad actual muchas veces poco
importa la unidad del matrimonio, y mucho menos la
formación cristiana de los hijos e hijas. Es como si
esto ya ha pasado de moda. La pregunta es: con esto
que estamos viviendo, ¿ha mejorado nuestra sociedad?
La familia, subraya el Concilio Vaticano II, tiene la
responsabilidad de evangelizar a sus miembros y es
hermosamente llamada la "Iglesia doméstica". Es en el
hogar donde los valores se hacen crecer y madurar, y
donde se preparan los cristianos del presente y del
futuro.
Es en el hogar donde podemos iniciar y vivir nuestra relación con Dios. Actualmente se ha perdido la
enseñanza de apertura del corazón hacia Dios. Nos da
vergüenza decir que somos cristianos, y mucho menos
decir que somos católicos practicantes. La propia fe
despierta al ver como los miembros de la familia
hablan en casa de le experiencia de Dios. En este ciclo
navideño, continuemos meditando en el significado
del nacimiento del Hijo de Dios en nuestra familia.
Esto nos ayudará a apreciar a la familia de Jesús y sus
valores de amor, entrega y crecimiento mutuo.
Igualmente, eso ayudará a las familias actuales a nutrirse tal como lo hizo la Sagrada Familia de Nazaret.
Nuestro reto es acoger a las diferentes tipos de familia
de la actualidad: padres solteros y madres solteras, padres y madres divorciados, padres y madres unidos,
padres y madres que no engendren pero que sí ayudan
a crecer a sus hijos e hijas. ¡Felicidades a las familias
sagradas de hoy!
