St. Valentine Church

Heartline

Mission Statement: Guided by the Holy Spirit, we strive to live and share the Good News of Christ so that all may come to know . As a Church and School Community we welcome, serve, teach, learn, reconcile and provide comfort and hope in the spirit of St Valentine.

December 29, In taking on human form, Jesus entered our world and shared our deepest human experiences. Today we call to mind his experience of a most basic human reality: Family 2019 Life. “Families are at the very heart of our archdiocesan efforts to unleash the Gospel, because they are the first and most important setting in which evangelization takes place.” (Unleash the Gospel, Guidepost 7)

The feast of the is an invitation to reflect on our own experience of family life and a challenge to live our vocation as a Christian family. We are called in our relationships with one another and to reflect the love of God and make it present once again in the world.

Today, on the feast of the Holy Family, the Church invites us to reflect on the nature of the relationships in a home, the relationships between husband and wife and parents and children. It offers the Holy Family as a model. The Holy Family was made up of a just man, a mother and the Son of God. Yet, despite their special calling and their unique identity, we know that it was a truly human and earthly existence that they lived in Nazareth.

They experienced the hardships of poverty and displacement, the struggle to make ends meet, the difficulties in having an adolescent son they did not quite understand, moments of grief. What makes them special was their fidelity to their vocations, their relationship with one another and the abiding presence of God in their midst. The essence of a Christian family is this: a community bonded together by their shared relationship in the Lord. This is the vision provided by St. Paul in our second reading for the Christian community at large as well as for the family. He gives practical guidelines for every family.

Firstly, he says: ‘put on, as God’s chosen ones, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience and over all these put on love’. A family’s happiness is a gift from God. However, it requires the dedication and affection of every family member for one another. Such happiness is achieved only if we live in love. Love is the foundation of every family, because God is love.

Secondly, St. Paul says that ‘be thankful’ that is being thankful to God all the time, for his abundant blessings in our lives.”

Thirdly, he says that ‘let the word of Christ dwell in you richly’. In other words, St. Paul suggests us that every family we should cultivate the habit of praying together. “Only by praying together with their children can a father and a mother. penetrate the innermost depths of their children’s hearts and leave an impression that the future The Holy Family of Holy Family Mary and The Jesus, events in their lives will not be able to efface.” (St. John Paul II Familiaris Consortio 60)

Let these words of St. Paul inspire each of our families and may the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary & Joseph be model for our families. Please join us for Wish you Happy Feast of Holy Family.
