Mass Readings
There are Feast Days for each member of the Holy Family, but
this particular Feast which always occurs between Christmas
and the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, celebrates the
entire family—Jesus, our Blessed Mother Mary, and Jesus’ Stepfather Joseph. Scripture does not tell us much about the Holy
Family during Jesus’ growth years, but we view them on this
day as a religious family worthy of emulation. In this era and
society when questions arise as to exactly what a family is or should be, the
Holy Family stands out as a model. The Church celebrates this day in the hope
that it might instill in our own Catholic and Christian families some of the
faithful love and attachment which seem to characterize the Holy Family.
As might be expected, each of the readings on this Holy Day makes reference to
and emphasizes family life. The Book of Sirach was written, according to most
scholars, by Jeshua ben Eleazar ben Sira about 175 years before the birth of
Christ. Each chapter of the book follows a particular theme, and Chapter
Three, from which we have our First Reading follows a great theme of
Proverbs: honor thy father and mother. Sirach speaks of the responsibilities of
all members of a family to others in the family. At the foundation of a
successful family is a trait which we also extol in lives of stewardship —
humility. When dealing with others in our family, the importance of being
humble and respectful and loving cannot be emphasized enough. We also need
to be conscious of the fact that when we speak of “family,” we are not just
talking about a family unit, but that greater family to which we all belong —
the family of God, our faith family.
St. Paul, in his letter to the Colossians, our Second Reading, builds on the
theme of humility and goes even further in describing the attributes that are
important to be a member of a family. His introduction includes all that each of
us must strive to do, the way we need to act, think, and behave. He tells us
that we need to show “heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness,
and patience.” These are not easy, but they are also the elements to being
good Christians and stewards. Furthermore, according to St. Paul, we need to
forgive one another, and “over all these put on love, that is, the bond of
perfection.” If that was not enough for us, he adds that we need to let “the
peace of Christ control your hearts.”
Today’s Readings
First Reading — Hannah gives her
son Samuel back to the LORD,
leaving him in the temple at
Shiloh: “As long as he lives, he
shall be dedicated to the LORD”
1 Samuel 1:20-22, 24-28
or Sirach 3:2-6, 12-14.
Psalm — Blessed are they who
dwell in your house, O Lord
Psalm 84 or Psalm 128.
Second Reading — We are
children of God when we believe
in the name of God’s Son, Jesus
Christ, and love one another just
as he commanded us 1 Jn 3:1-2,
21-24 or Colossians 3:12-21
[12-17].
Gospel — Joseph and Mary find
the lost Jesus in the temple in
the midst of the teachers,
listening to them and asking
questions Luke 2:41-52.

Readings for the Week
Monday:
1 Jn 1:5 — 2:2;
Ps 124:2-5, 7b-8;
Mt 2:13-18
Paul more or less wraps up his advice and counsel by saying, “And whatever you
do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus.” For a
family, any family, whether our blood intimate family or our larger faith
community to be completely like the Holy Family, we must have Christ at the
center. Living a God-centered life will lead us to stewardship and to a happy
and thriving family.
Tuesday:
1 Jn 2:3-11;
Ps 96:1-3, 5b-6;
Lk 2:22-35
During Passover the Sanhedrin ( a supreme council that oversaw Judea as sort
of a supreme court and legislative body) would meet in the court of the Temple
to openly discuss religious and theological questions. For three days the boy
Jesus was in their midst and clearly held his own in the discussions and
debates. Imagine being the parent of such a gifted child! That is where St. Mary
and St. Joseph found themselves. The value of this small insight into the Holy
Family is the realization that in spite of the Son of God literally being a
member of the family, their family life was normal and regular in almost every
way. The custom at that time was for a son to take up his father’s business.
Thus, Jesus became a carpenter after Joseph, but He was more than that — He
also was about the business of His Father in Heaven. In spite of His special
place, Jesus was obedient and respectful to His parents. The point of this Feast
Day is for us to see that the combination of children, siblings, mother, and
father all need to be attentive to and responsive to the others’ needs. We
cannot achieve the perfection of the Holy Family, but we can strive to be holy.
Thursday:
1 Jn 2:18-21;
Ps 96:1-2, 11-13;
Jn 1:1-18
Friday:
Nm 6:22-27;
Ps 67:2-3, 5, 6, 8;
Gal 4:4-7;
Lk 2:16-21
Saturday:
1 Jn 2:22-28;
Ps 98:1-4;
Jn 1:19-28
Sunday:
Is 60:1-6; Ps 72:1-2,
7-8, 10-13;
Eph 3:2-3a, 5-6;
Mt 2:1-12
Page 3
Wednesday: 1 Jn 2:12-17;

Family Life
Family life is sacred, but it is not without trial. Perhaps this is the
most important message we can glean from today’s readings. If
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph can trip up sometimes—can disconnect—
then we shouldn’t find it surprising when such things happen to us
as well. And parents everywhere (children, too) can probably relate
to—and take some solace in—the Gospel’s account of Mary and
Joseph after Jesus explained why he stayed behind in the temple.
They heard his words, Luke tells us, “But they did not understand
what he said to them” (Luke 2:50). Amen! Nevertheless, Jesus does
go back home with them, and continues to thrive under their care.

Treasures From Our Tradition
This New Year’s Eve, at the turning of the year, you may catch a
glimpse of the old year, a cartoon figure of a hunched old man with
a sickle, Father Time. Where else but in this column could you
learn that this is in fact a pope? December 31 was in the old
calendar the feast of St. Sylvester. Legend says that Sylvester
healed the Emperor Constantine of leprosy, and presided at the
liturgy of baptism for the grateful emperor. In 314, he was chosen
pope, and it fell to him to organize the peacetime church, free at
last from persecution. He founded the Lateran Basilica, the
cathedral of the Diocese of Rome.
In northern Europe “Sylvester Night” is a time of great parties with
eating, dancing, and singing—recalling perhaps the joy of the
church in the fresh air of Sylvester’s papacy. In Poland, there was
great fear as the year 1000 approached that an immense dragon
would devour the earth and set fire to the heavens. The people
prayed earnestly to St. Sylvester, trusting that the saint would not
permit such suffering on his feast day. They’ve been celebrating
ever since!
Many New Year’s customs have pagan roots, like the British “First
Footer” tradition. The idea is that the first person setting foot into
your house in the new year determines the luck for the year ahead.
The ideal first footer was not a bit like old Pope Sylvester, but
rather a tall, dark-haired man carrying the right gift. A handsome
first footer meant the year ahead would be pleasant, and if he
carried bread or a shovel of coal there would be food and warmth
in the future. Who will be your household’s first footer?

365 Days to Mercy App
Let’s face it, it can be downright overwhelming to
be merciful. It often seems we take a few steps
forward, only to then get back into the old habits
of ill-will, lack of compassion, selfishness or
intolerance.
Blessed Mother Teresa often said that God doesn’t
call the equipped, he equips the called. God wants
to equip you with Hope, so you can see the
possibilities in your life.
During this Jubilee Year of Mercy, each of us has an
opportunity to rediscover the gift of conversion in
our lives, realizing how much Christ loves each of
us and how we can radiate that love to others.
For those of you with smartphones, the 365 Days to Mercy app is ideal
for accompanying you on your spiritual journey. This app contains
original daily reflections on mercy that are thoughtful and pertinent; it
has a ton of other content, including information on the holy year,
prayers centering on mercy and the latest Year of Mercy news, and
finally, it’s free! Download it by searching for 365 Days to Mercy in the
App Store and Google Play store, or go here for a direct link to both:

New Online Giving and Payment System—
Register Now
Beginning Nov. 1, 2015, St. Mark implemented a new Online
Giving System. The previous system, Direct Give, will
continue to be available during the transition.
We will now be using Online Giving, a division of Our
Sunday Visitor, as our electronic offertory vendor.
Considerable thought and analysis has gone into this
decision. Some of the reasons for the change include
better pricing, more effective data interface and
back office support, and an improved envelope service for
additional savings. The new system will be much easier and
more user-friendly. It is a web-based application that
allows you to access your account from anywhere, using
your computer, smartphone or tablet. You can use either a
bank account or credit card, or both.
During the next month, please close out your account with
Direct Give, and sign up with Online Giving. Instructions for
closing out your account and opening a new one, are
available on the website at www.stmarknc.org. If you have
any issues setting up your new account, please contact
Customer Service for Online Giving.
If you are not currently using online payment for your
weekly collection donations, now is a great time to start!
You will be able to help us further automate the
bookkeeping function. With this new system, you are able
to make your weekly donations, additional one-time
donations such as Christmas, and other payments, including
Faith Formation tuition and special collections. You can see
reports on your contribution history and generate tax
statements at each year’s end. Even if you typically use
your offering envelopes, you may wish to contribute online
to a particular collection. Check out our website for more
information!Contact: Florence Moore,
