FAITH BOOK

Feast of the Holy Family

 - December 29, 2024

1 Samuel 1: 20-22, 24-28; Psalm 84; I John 3: 1-2,21-24; Luke 2: 41-52

Jude Siciliano, OP

Mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run. “Faith Book” is also brief enough to be posted in the Sunday parish bulletins people take home.

From today’s Gospel reading:

He went down with them and came to Nazareth,
and was obedient to them;
and his mother kept all these things in her heart.

Reflection:

We will accompany Mary as she periodically appears in the gospel of Luke. With her we will look and listen at the unfolding events and join her as we keep “all these things” in our heart.

So, we ask ourselves:

• Do I have a regular practice of reflecting on the significance of the day’s events?

• Do I accompany those reflections with regular meditation on God’s Word in the scriptures?
