Hymn of Faith p. 13 vv. 1 & 3
Penitential Rite, p. 65
Entrance Hymn
V. Whoever does not provide for relatives and especially family members has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
R. So then, while we have the opportunity, let us do good to all, but especially to those who belong to the family of faith.
V. Glory be...
R. As it was…
A Reading from the Book of Genesis.
Gen 1:26-28, 31a
Then God said: Let us make human beings in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the tame animals, all the wild animals, and all the creatures that crawl on the earth. God created mankind in his image; in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them and God said to them: Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and all the living things that crawl on the earth. God looked at everything he had made, and found it very good.
This is the Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Psalm Response
Happy are those who fear the Lord and walk in His ways. (Ps. 128)
A reading from the letter of St. Paul to the Ephesians.
Eph 6:1-9
Children, obey your parents [in the Lord], for this is right. “Honor your father and mother.” This is the first commandment with a promise, “that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life on earth.” Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up with the training and instruction of the Lord. Slaves, be obedient to your human masters with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ not only when being watched, as currying favor, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, willingly serving the Lord and not human beings, knowing that each will be requited from the Lord for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free. Masters, act in the same way toward them, and stop bullying, knowing that both they and you have a Master in heaven and that with him there is no partiality.
This is the Word of the Lord
Thanks be to God

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. Luke.
Lk 2:42-52
.When he was twelve years old, they went up according to festival custom. After they had completed its days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, but his parents did not know it. Thinking that he was in the caravan, they journeyed for a day and looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances, but not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem to look for him. After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions, and all who heard him were astounded at his understanding and his answers. When his parents saw him, they were astonished, and his mother said to him, “Son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been looking for you with great anxiety.” And he said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?” But they did not understand what he said to them. He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart. And Jesus advanced [in] wisdom and age and favor before God and man.
This is the Gospel of the Lord.
Praise be to You, Jesus Christ.

Deacon’s Dialogue
Rev. Mr. Richard Kasprzak
Here it is Monday, and I am sitting here thinking Sunday the 13th, the Solemnity of the Christian Family. I looked up the Gospel yesterday, read it through, and sat and thought about it for a while. What kept coming to me, was Jesus as a child, really acting like a child. Thinking about the family going to church (Temple) and leaving to go home, not worrying at first about where the kid was. Like all of us, when at church (Temple) first thing you did was go see your friends, and maybe sit with your friends’ family. Your parents knew by then that this was normal behavior, and the parents of Jesus knew this also. This incident in the life of Christ shows me two things – Christ was truly human, firstly (Is there such a word?). He was also God, as no twelve-year-old has enough knowledge of his religion to preach to scholars about their faith, like Christ did.
I wonder how, while growing up, the humanity of Christ shone through. Did he always listen to his Mom, immediately? Or was he a kid? Did he fudge on answering questions (Was that you in the grape arbor, eating not picking)? Being a boy, I knew how to answer, and I bet He did too.
The Synod is coming up, and we have made our reservations.
We have tropical plants at home. They go South with us. They spend the winter basking in the warm Florida sun thanks to our friends ‘patio. We are still working out the timing.
A CHISTIAN GENTLEMAN WILL LOOK FOR A WAY TO BRE CONSTRUCTIVE, EVEN WHEN PROVOKED. ~L. NELSON BELL
