The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph
December 28, 2014
My eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared
in the sight of all the peoples. — Luke 2:30-31
WE ARE GOD’S HOLY FAMILY
The scriptures of Israel are filled with many stories
of barren couples who were miraculously granted the gift
of children by God. Surely the best known among these
is the first reading from today, from which Luke took
inspiration when he recounted the miraculous birth of
John the Baptist to Zechariah and Elizabeth, and the
more miraculous birth of Jesus to Mary and Joseph. In
each instance, we are given examples or role models of
those who trusted in God. More than examples of those
who trust, they are models of self-surrender. They
abandoned their own presuppositions and prejudices
about the workings of the world and turned their lives
over to belief in a God who can make life grow where
none ought to; a God who can turn death around into a
new and unimagined life; a God who can, today, take a
tiny child of humble parents in an insignificant town and
make him into a light for all the world. This is what we,
as God’s holy family, are called to do each day: to trust
not in ourselves and the way we think things should be,
but to open ourselves and surrender ourselves in faith to
a God of endless promise.

The priests and staff of St. Dunstan Parish wish you all
a blessed New Year, 2015!

New Years Prayer
Thank you Lord for giving me The brand new year
ahead, Help me live the way I should, As each new day
I tread
Give me gentle wisdom, That I might help a friend,
Give me strength and courage, So a shoulder I might
lend.
The year ahead is empty, Help me fill it with good
things, Each new day filled with joy, And the happiness
it brings.
Please give the leaders of our world, A courage born of
peace, That they might lead us gently, And all the
fighting cease.
Please give to all upon this earth, A heart that's filled
with love, A gentle happy way to live, With Your
blessings from above
~Charlotte Anselmo
