JOHN PAUL II ANGELUS Feast of the Holy Family Sunday, 30 December 2001 Today we shift our gaze from the grotto of Bethlehem where the Saviour was born on Holy Night to the humble house of Nazareth, to contemplate the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, whose feast we celebrate in the festive, family atmosphere of Christmas. The Redeemer of the world chose the family as the place for his birth and growth, thereby sanctifying this fundamental institution of every society. The time he spent in Nazareth, the greater part of his life, continues to be shrouded in deep silence. Very little information about it has been passed on to us by the Evangelists. However, if we aspire to a deeper understanding of Jesus' life and mission, we must draw close to the mystery of the Holy Family of Nazareth to observe and listen. Today's liturgy offers us a providential opportunity to do so. For every believer, and especially for Christian families, the humble dwelling place in Nazareth is an authentic school of the Gospel. Here we admire, put into practice, the divine plan to make the family an intimate community of life and love; here we learn that every Christian family is called to be a small "domestic church" that must shine with the Gospel virtues. Recollection and prayer, mutual understanding and respect, personal discipline and community asceticism and a spirit of sacrifice, work and solidarity are typical features that make the family of Nazareth a model for every home. I wanted to highlight these values in the Apostolic Exhortation Familiaris consortio whose 20th anniversary occurred this year. The future of humanity passes through the family which in our time has been more marked than any other institution by the profound and rapid changes in culture and society. However, the Church has never ceased "to speak and offer her help to those who are already aware of the value of marriage and the family and seek to live it faithfully, to those who are uncertain and anxious and searching for the truth, and to those who are unjustly impeded from living freely their family lives" (Familiaris consortio, n. 1). She is aware of her responsibility and today too intends to continue "to offer her services to every person who wonders about the destiny of marriage and the family" (ibid.). The Church relies especially on the witness and contribution of Christian families to fulfil her urgent mission. Indeed, in the face of the dangers and difficulties that beset the family institution, she invites families to have greater spiritual and apostolic boldness, knowing that the family is called to be "a sign of unity for the world" and thus to bear witness to "the Kingdom and peace of Christ, towards which the whole world is journeying" (ibid., n. 48). May Jesus, Mary and Joseph bless and protect all the world's families, so that within them may reign the serenity and joy, justice and peace that the newborn Christ has given as a gift to humanity. After leading the prayer of the Angelus, the Holy Father greeted pilgrims from various regions of Italy, and said: Tomorrow at 6.00 p.m. in St Peter's Basilica, I will preside at the celebration of Vespers with the solemn Te Deum of thanksgiving. Every year brings its joys and sorrows, problems and new prospects. I invite everyone to end the year 2001 thanking God and leaving behind all enmity, so as to begin 2002 in the peace and love of Christ. This is my wish for everyone, which I entrust to the intercession of the Holy Family of Nazareth. © Copyright 2001 - Libreria Editrice Vaticana © Copyright - Libreria Editrice Vaticana

Papin nagovor uz molitvu Anđeo Gospodnji Nedjelja, 27. prosinca 2015. Sveta Obitelj je prava škola evanđelja Draga braćo i sestre, dobar dan! Kako samo lijepo pjevaju ovi mladići! Sjajni ste! U ozračju radosti koja je svojstvena Božiću, slavimo ove nedjelje blagdan Svete Obitelji. Ponovno mi se u misli vraća veliki susret u Philadelphiji, u rujnu prošle godine; mnoge obitelji s kojima sam se susretao na apostolskim putovanjima; kao i obitelji diljem svijeta. Želim ih sve pozdraviti s ljubavlju i zahvalnošću, osobito u ovom našem vremenu, u kojem je obitelj izložena nesporazumima i poteškoćama raznih vrsta koji je slabe. Današnje Evanđelje poziva obitelji da dokuče svjetlo nade koje izbija iz nazaretske kuće, u kojoj se odvijalo u radosti Isusovo djetinjstvo, koji – kaže sveti Luka – "napredovaše u mudrosti, dobi i milosti kod Boga i ljudi" (2, 52). Obitelj Isusa, Marije i Josipa je za svakog vjernika, a osobito za obitelji, prava škola evanđelja. Tu se divimo ispunjenju Božjeg nauma učiniti obitelj posebnom zajednicom života i ljubavi. Tu učimo da je svaka kršćanska obitelj pozvana biti "domaća Crkva", kako bi bila žarištem iz kojeg isijavaju evanđeoske kreposti i postala kvasac dobra u društvu. Tipična obilježja Svete Obitelji su: sabranost i molitva, uzajamno razumijevanje i poštivanje, požrtvovnost, rad i solidarnost. Iz primjera i svjedočanstva Svete Obitelji, svaka obitelj može izvući vrijedne smjernice za način života i životne izbore, i može crpiti snagu i mudrost za svakodnevni život. Gospa i Sveti Josip uče prihvaćati djecu kao dar od Boga, rađati ih i odgajati surađujući na čudesan način u Stvoriteljevu djelu i dajući svijetu, u svakom djetetu, novi osmijeh. U obitelji u kojoj vlada jedinstvo djeca odrastaju živeći smisleno i plodonosno iskustvo besplatne ljubavi, nježnosti, uzajamnog poštivanja, uzajamnog razumijevanja, opraštanja i radosti. Želim se usredotočiti posebno na radost. Prava radost koja se doživljava u obitelji nije nešto nasumično i slučajno. To je plod duboke radosti među osobama, koja daje kušati ljepotu zajedništva, uzajamnog podupiranja na životnom putu. Ali u temelju radosti uvijek je Božja prisutnost, njegova topla, milosrdna i strpljiva ljubav prema svima. Ako se vrata obitelji ne otvore Božjoj prisutnosti i njegovoj ljubavi, obitelj gubi sklad, prevladavaju individualizmi i gasi se radost. Nasuprot tome, obitelj koja živi radost, radost života, radost vjere prenosi je spontano, ona je sol zemlje i svjetlo svijeta, ona je kvasac za cijelo društvo. Neka Isus, Marija i Josip blagoslove i štite sve obitelji u svijetu, da u njima vladaju vedrina i radost, pravda i mir, koje je Krist svojim rođenjem donio kao dar ljudskom rodu. Nakon Angelusa Draga braćo i sestre, u ovom trenutku sam u mislima s brojnim kubanskim migrantima koji se nalaze u teškoćama u Srednjoj Americi, od kojih su mnogi žrtve trgovine ljudima. Pozivam zemlje regije da velikodušno obnove sve potrebne napore kako bi se pronašlo blagovremeno rješenje te humanitarne tragedije. Srdačno pozdravljam danas sve obitelji prisutne na trgu. Hvala vam na vašem svjedočanstvu. Neka vas Gospodin prati svojom milošću i podupire vas u vašem svakodnevnom hodu. Svima želim ugodnu nedjelju. Hvala vam još jednom na čestitkama i molitvama: nastavite moliti za mene. Dobar tek i do viđenja! © Copyright - Libreria Editrice Vaticana
