SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - Holy Family Sunday
DESCRIPTION:THE FAMILY AT NAZARETH \nBy Fr Ambroise-Marie Carré \n◊◊◊ \nIn these days when the Church is experiencing a renewal of its youth\, how \nmany families would be enriched by contemplation of the extraordinary beauty \nto be seen in the unique love of the family at Nazareth! For centuries it has been \nby constantly returning to the marriage of Joseph and Mary\, to the home to \nwhich Jesus first brought his radically new message of salvation\, that \ntheologians have defined the principles of marriage for those baptized into the \nChristian faith. St Augustine never spoke of marriage without reference to the \nHoly Family. And there are wonderful pages in Bossuet devoted to the subject \nof that union\, which was\, he said\, “most true\,” because Mary and Joseph\, \ntrusting each other with their virginity\, “gave themselves to each other” in love. \nA sentence of St. Luke’s sheds light on this great mystery: Mary “kept all \nthese things in her heart”. The family at Nazareth lived in complete harmony\, \ncherishing “compassion\, kindness\, lowliness\, meekness\, and patience”. The \npresence of God incarnate\, and of his love\, transfigured all in joy and wonder. \nSuch things as Mary and Joseph were able to understand penetrated them to the \nvery depths of their being. And what they could not understand\, such as that \noccasion when their young son disappeared and was later found in the temple\, \nthey kept within them\, so that those gestures and words of his whose meaning \nthey could not grasp with their minds might act on their hearts\, and gradually \nopen them to the measure of the Father’s will. \nSurely this is\, very specially\, the right way to live for any who have taken \nvows in the name of the Lord. If you wish the ideal\, you must let Christ live \namong you and within you. Whatever you find in your lives that seems to you \nclear\, happy and fruitful\, you should learn how to appreciate it: there are so \nmany who do not! And as for your misunderstanding\, which are the cause of \nsuffering in so many homes…you should keep all these things in your heart\, not \nto swell into bitterness\, but so as to let suffering and the divine force of you \nsacramental vow transform that self-centered heart. Nor will the love which is \nblessed by God and which follows God’s command ever leave us: it can only be \ndismissed. But you have not dismissed love. So let God purify and renew your \nlove\, as he purifies and renews the faith of those who seek him. On the third day\, \nin the love of Jesus\, it will rise again.
