Reflection of the Week

Today, as we continue celebrating the Christmas season, we focus our attention on the Holy Family. This is a great time to thank God for the gift of family life. The Catechism of the Catholic Church refers to the family as the “domestic church,” so today’s feast is a fitting time to consider the importance of the virtue of the stewardship pillar of hospitality within the context of our own domestic churches. Why is hospitality so important? Well, we can hardly expect our family members to pray together, study their faith, and serve others if we have a home where we are disconnected from each other, or the atmosphere is stressful and tense. Of course there will be moments like this. But we must be intentional in creating homes where everyone feels accepted and important. We want our homes to be the place to get recharged to go out and bring love to everyone we encounter outside our home. This is not easy, but we can turn to the Holy Family for help. Lest we think that the Holy Family is somehow unable to sympathize with our struggles, we see in our Gospel passage from Matthew that this Family was certainly not free from trials and stress; quite the contrary. The very life of the newborn Jesus was threatened by Herod’s extreme jealousy such that the family had to flee suddenly into a foreign land for protection until Herod’s death. Yet Mary and Joseph remained united and ever obedient to the Holy Spirit for direction. Who better to turn to for help and inspiration for our own families?

SAINT THOMAS BECKET (1118-1170) December 29

To anyone who imagines conflict between religion and politics to be a modern phenomenon, history witnesses otherwise. Martyred under Henry VIII in 1535, Thomas More declared, “I die the king’s good servant, but God’s first!” Thomas Becket could have said the same four centuries earlier. As Henry II’s closest friend and trusted chancellor, Becket, the king presumed, could be counted on, if made archbishop, to deliver the church to royal control. But Becket experienced a profound conversion, confirmed by the ordination liturgy’s rich symbolism of the bishop as Good Shepherd and the church as Bride of Christ. Renouncing secular responsibilities, distributing his wealth to the poor, Thomas became the church’s uncompromising champion. Faced with this “new” Becket, the king’s previous friendship turned into a ferocious, almost irrational hatred. As eight centuries later, Archbishop Romero would be martyred at the altar of Christ’s sacrifice, Becket was slain before the altar of Canterbury Cathedral by royal agents, neither the first nor last good shepherd to lay down his life as the price of freedom for Christ’s church and justice for Christ’s sheep.

SANTO TOMÁS BECKET (1118-1170) 29 de diciembre

Tomás Becket se distinguió por su inteligencia y rápido ascenso durante el reinado de Enrique II de Inglaterra. Como canciller, en ausencia del rey, estuvo al mando del reino. No obstante, Enrique II era ambicioso y quería a la Iglesia bajo su dominio, fue por eso que le nombró como Arzobispo de Canterbury en 1162. Sin embargo, Tomás cambió radicalmente: renunció a la cancillería, vendió su mansión, dio el dinero a los pobres y se fue a un monasterio viviendo humildemente. Se opuso públicamente al rey y a sus intenciones de sometimiento de la Iglesia hasta que el mismo rey lo amenazó con la muerte, razón por la que se expatrió a Francia. Luego de una reconciliación temporal, el rey expresó su deseo de librarse del arzobispo y envió a una guardia real a que lo asesinaran, hecho que ocurrió en el altar mayor de la catedral mientras Tomás Becket celebraba la Eucaristía. Sus últimas palabras fueron: “Acepto la muerte en el nombre de Jesús y de la Iglesia”.
