Connections&
December 31, 2000--The Holy Family
Jesus went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart. Luke 2:41-52
"And the Word became flesh and lived among us& " John 1:1-18
Praying with pictures
Franciscan Sister Jose Hobday, the renowned spiritual writer and speaker, writes that her favorite prayer book is one that every one of us has tucked on a shelf.
"My photo album has become one of my favorite prayer books. Three or four times a year I get it out, not only to look at and reminisce, but to pray. I do a lot of remembering and reliving as the photos bring back memory after memory or people, places and events. But I don't stop there. Almost automatically I find myself becoming aware of the fact that God is present in these pictures. Of course I see God only with the eyes of faith, but God's presence is real nevertheless. And this same faith tells me God's present with me as well, as I look and reminisce with the photos. And as I pray."
[From Stories of Awe and Abundance by Sister Jose Hobday, O.S.F.]
CONNECTION: This Sunday
after Christmas is a celebration of family--that unique
nucleus of society that gives life, nurture and support
throughout our life's journeys. Families are the first
and best places for the love of God to come alive.
Within our families we experience the heights of joy and
depths of pain--and through all of those memories, God is
present in the love, acceptance and forgiveness we offer our
loved ones in the safe harbors of our families. The Holy
Family of the Child, Mary and Joseph--in their struggles, fear
and anguish recorded in the Gospels--is a model for our own
families that the light of God shines in our midst as we
confront those same tensions and crises in our life
together .v
