DDecember 31, 2017 The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary & Joseph

The child’s father and mother were amazed. (Luke 2:33) So here we are, on the cusp of a new year. It’s the perfect day to reflect on the past year’s blessings and to set our hopes on those yet to come. Imagine all the families that

are doing this very thing today—engaging in this “dual vision” of the past and the future. It’s not hard to imagine the Holy Family doing the same thing as well. They, too, had much to look back on and much to anticipate! Perhaps Mary recalled the angel’s words about Jesus at the Annunciation, “He will be . . . called Son of the Most High” (Luke 1:32). Joseph must have remembered his dream, when the angel told him to name Mary’s son Jesus, “because he will save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). Remembering these dramatic interventions must have helped this couple to trust in God’s faithfulness and to know that their future was safe in his hands. Joseph and Mary weren’t the only ones to engage in this dual vision. Simeon shared his vision with them as well. Holding the infant Jesus, he saw the fulfillment of all God’s promises and the hope for the future salvation of Israel. No wonder they were amazed! Surely his words rang in their ears as they looked back and looked ahead. What about you? How was God with your “holy family” this year? Maybe you can ask everyone this question at dinner tonight. Were there times of rejoicing, like a new grandchild? Were there moments of sickness or strained relationships? Try to identify how God has been with you through it all. But don’t only look back—look forward too. How has the past year prepared you for the blessings to come? Maybe God is just beginning to unfold something new in your life. How can you embrace it? This is a day to be amazed at God’s blessings—and to know that even better things have yet to come!

FILM NITE Presents

Steve Gomer’s

January 4th at 7:00pm in the Nativity Center ALL SAINTS is a powerful story, very heartrending and entertaining, about a pastor, who hears from God and does the right thing in spite of opposition. ALL SAINTS is one of Sony Affirm’s best movies and is based on a Kairos Prize finalist script. Michael Spurlock is a salesman turned Episcopal pastor, who’s assigned a church called All Saints in Nashville. His wife, Aimee, foresees that Michael will fall in love with the church and find it hard to shut it down. In his installation, the Bishop demands that Michael promises to obey the church officials come what may. Michael is on fire for God. When a group of Burmese Karen Anglican refugees show up, his heart goes out to them, and he tries to care for them. At a loss regarding how to feed and take care of them, Michael hears from God that they should turn the beautiful land around the church into a farm. After alienating the big box store that wants to buy the land, Michael convinces the church council to give him until January to make a go of the farm and the church. The Karen people, led by Ye Win, are expert farmers. It looks like they may have a good crop and be able pay off the church debts as well as feed the people. However, a drought hits Nashville, equipment fails and circumstance beyond their control bring Michael and the church to their knees. How will the church survive? How will the Karen people survive? How will Michael continue? The answers are unexpected and surprising. ALL SAINTS is an extremely well-directed and acted movie. Like many of the Sony Affirm movies, it’s not a big action adventure, but the jeopardy is intense, and the dialogue is real. Having had similar experiences to Michael in my stint with the same church hierarchy, his dealing with the church bureaucracy is all too real. Additionally, these refugees are not just any refugees, they are Christians facing genocide in their own country and needing the church’s help. The strong faith, even leading to signs and wonders, is to be applauded. This is not a politically correct movie. Although it has a few ambivalent comments, they are very few. The actors should be applauded. The story is uplifting. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

We want to express our sincere thanks to everyone who participated in the Sharing Tree program. Once again, the Parish of St. Martin’s did something extraordinary, touching so many lives this Christmas. Special thanks to our wonderful friends, Ethel Tierney and Mae Stringer who, for so many years, have opened their home to us so that we could sort and store gifts. Thank You, ladies! We thank Msgr. Sullivan, Fr. Abraham, Fr. Bancroft, Kathleen and Patti in the rectory for your support, patience and help. A VERY special thanks to the CCD staff, Cindy and AnnMarie. We could not have done this without you! We also need to thank all of the people, too many to name here, who helped carry, sort and deliver gifts. Thanks to all the members of the Parish Social Committee for preparing all of the stars and angels. Rosemarie Kline, you are an angel and a star! Our greatest Thank You of course goes to our wonderful parishioners. You brought joy to our over 25 families. You turned a time of stress into a time of hope.
