[Grem] Szent Család ünnepe szentmiséje igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, on this feast of the Holy Family, our Gospel shows us Joseph and
Mary’s flight into Egypt, pursuing their mission to protect the Christ
child. This story prompts me to say something about the Christian family’s
mission.The family is, above all, the forum in which both parents and
children are able to discern their missions. It is perfectly good, of
course, if deep bonds and rich emotions are cultivated within the family,
but those relationships and passions must cede to something that is more
spiritually focused. A biblical prioritization of values helps us to see
what typically goes wrong with families. When something other than mission
is dominant—a son’s athletic achievement, a daughter’s success at
university, etc.—family relationships actually become strained. The paradox
is this: precisely in the measure that everyone in the family focuses on
God’s call for one another, the family becomes more loving and peaceful.*
*John Paul II admirably summed up what I’ve been driving at when he spoke
of the family as an ecclesiola (a little Church). At its best, he implies,
the family is a place where God is worshiped and where the discernment of
God’s mission is of paramount importance.*

*Dicsőség az Atyának, a Fiúnak és a Szentléleknek most és mindörökké. Ámen.*
