THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
FATHER NOE’S BEST
FEAST OF THE HOLY FAMILY
There’s a city in Germany called Weinsberg.
Overlooking the city is a high hill. On the very top of
the hill stands an ancient fortress. The townspeople
of Weinsberg tell an interesting legend about that
fortress and that hill.
It seems that back in the 15th century, in the
days of chivalry and honor, an enemy encircled that
hill and sealed off all the townspeople inside the
fortress.
The enemy commander then sent word up to the
fortress, saying that he would allow the women and
children to leave and go free before he launched his
devastating attack.
After
further
negotiations,
the
enemy
commander also agreed on his chivalrous word of
honor to let each woman take to freedom with her
the most valuable possession she owned, provided
she would carry it.
You can imagine the army’s consternation and
surprise, when, a few minutes later, the women
marched out of the fortress, each one carrying her
husband on her back.
I like that legend because it says to me: “The
most valuable possession a husband has is his wife
and the most valuable possession a wife has is her
husband!”
To the extent that they treasure each other, they
will also treasure their children. And to that extent,
too, their children will also treasure them.
So this Feast of the Holy Family brings us back
to the basics of the Christian life, to where the heart
of true holiness lies. It lies in imitating the Holy
Family. In being the kind of father Joseph was, in
being the kind of mother Mary was, in being the kind
of son or daughter Jesus was!
So what advice might the Holy Family give us?
Each day do a little bit more than you think you can• Love a little bit more
• Forgive a little bit more
• Sacrifice a little bit more
• Encourage a little bit more
If we do this, then when life ends, we will approach
the Throne of Heaven a little bit closer than we
thought we could!
Peace, Father John
Happy New Year!!
