Friends, families teach us that we don't always get to choose the people we love, but we're given people that we're then called upon to love. On this Feast of the Holy Family, let's meditate upon the importance of this calling.

My father was a WW2 combat vet - he was abused as a child and then ended up, lying about his age and joining the Army after Pearl Harbor. He was not a good father by our standards....but the gift I was given by The Church and my 12 Step program was to love my father. The last thing I ever said to him was, "I love you, Dad...see you tomorrow". I am so grateful for The Church.

Epic words of Bishop Barron ~ "What do families teach us? .... One lesson I think is, we don't always get to choose the people we love, but we're given people that we're then called upon to love." .... "God, through our families ~ is giving us the people He wants us to love. And part of what makes our families holy is that we cultivate this capacity of love, not just the people we like, that we have chosen to be with, but the people whom God has given us to love. .... Thank you, Bishop Barron for your inspiring words of spiritual wisdom! 🙏✝🙏

Thank you for your words I agree wholeheartedly. My family did not have uncle Tommy, but we had an “Unk” ( Uncle Merle) who live next-door to us with my grandparents‼️ What a Legend and a mystery to all who knew him… but a legacy to us! We love him and he Very much loved us‼️🥰❤ I Have four sisters and a family who loves me I am proud to say that “I am AUNT MARY”

@robdifulvio1093 2 года назад

I’m not sure of Uncle Tommy’s intentions, but “just a priest” may have been his highest compliment. One can lose themselves in career growth, higher education or the fast pace of society. To be, just a house wife, just a mechanic, or just a clerk, can keep one humbled in sprite. While I may be more of the later, I admirer when I meet someone that lives a simple life and is fully content. The greatest people in my life were just these kinds of people.

I had an uncle Tommy who sounded just like your uncle Tommy. He loved us kids and would like to tinker. He’d take things apart. He was a big kid but loved everyone he had a job with the city? He did get married to a very nice women much like himself they had 2 children both college educated!! God works in mysterious ways. Our family did watch over him and his life was a beautiful life as far as Tommy knew. He loved his children who were there to help him in his old days and was very proud of them. I only saw him at Christmas time but he was special in his own way.

Nice reflection. I think what we might also reflect on is how those "difficult people" in our lives may have some heroic virtues that they never revealed to us. Maybe Uncle Tommy saved 8 men in his Battalion in the Battle of the Bulge. So, we may pat ourselves on the back at times for tolerating difficult people, but we often have no idea of their unrevealed, inner lives.

@thebacons5943 Год назад

Love this, and the implication that God gives us people to love on the macro level, as well. Refugees and immigrants, convicts and the unhoused, the disabled and the sick… as a practical matter, the acting of loving these people can be more strenuous, but no less worthwhile, and often not by any particular fault of their own. We’re all sinners. We all need living, loving mercy. This is ultimately granted by God, but it’s a gift we can give to others, also.

Bishop Barron - beautiful story about your uncle. I lost my Uncle Jim three weeks ago today at the age of 91. He was my Dad's brother and last surviving sibling. Uncle Jim was too a bachelor, and a very devout man - I believe he attended Mass everyday as well. Four years ago it was discovered he had dementia, and it fell to me and my brother to move him back home from central Illinois (to Michigan). The last four years have been a blessing taking care of my uncle. In fact, at the funeral I had cousins thanking me and my brother fro taking care of him, and commenting it must have been a burden. I responded it was never a burden; taking care of my Uncle Jim was a joy.

Happy Holy Family Sunday Bishop Barron. I had a whole family of uncle Tommys on both sides, but most prevalent in my father’s family. My father and all 4 of his brothers went to WWII and all came back alive, but permanently scarred from the experience. We loved them all. We heard stories too. My own father, a devout Catholic, had an extraordinary story. He was hunkered down in a foxhole, with bombs going off all around him. Our Blessed Mother Mary said very loudly “get out of there.” The foxhole was bombed as soon as he jumped out. He came back against all odds, married my mom, and had 8 children. He was called home shortly after and the loss was very hard on all of us. Incredible stories came out of that war. Miracles happened all day everyday during those dark years in world history and impacted us all for generations. Blessings to everyone and a Happy New Year!

My take on it is I’d sure hate to have been one of Jesus’ brothers… “all the time hearing the teacher compare their homework!!

He loved music I think the cows loved him too, music was always played in the barn .He loved to dance and took pride in dancing the German polka When we were little he always had juicy fruit gum in his pocket and would give us each a half piece . even the great nieces and nephews remember that We didnt have much money and one day he came home with a present it was a little record player and several country music albums wow .

Thank you Bishop Barron I have a tear fallen down my face I am that person in my family. I used to be the exact opposite, a project manager at a nuclear plant at age 24, then got PTSD and now I am that person. At Christmas I wonder why I am that person that people don’t want to talk, and I am also like your Uncle Tommy who goes to mass every day. I’m the person that doesn’t get invited places and I just don’t know how to be. I can’t hold a job because I am so weird and then I feel so guilty for not making my own money. I am going to see a counsellor, whose son is a priest. I saw her once and there have been profound impacts on my life. She says she will get me working again. Astounding. That’s not a bad way to go, being struck on the way to church. I’d just rather be struck on my way home from church! I’ve often thought I’d like to die before the blessed sacrament, if that were possible.

Observing others who are living in such a way that they are clearly suffering, and complain of their suffering, but who do not change their behavior, is painful for everyone. However, detaching with love is the key. Thank you and God bless you.

Let us love our family the Church and by Church I dont mean simply the "authority" of the Church. Love based on authority or position is not love but power. Rather whoever we are whether high or low let us "love" for the sake of loving the person, not talking over one another in a endless struggle for who is speaking the loudest, for the sake of power. Loving of each other and family is about becoming powerless like Christ emptied himself for us to show the authenticity of true love. It is about truly caring for the soul of the other, without prejudice and without seeking to cause scandal, intentionally for the sake of attention seeking or grabbing the headlines.

A really fantastic homily, thank you. While it's clear, it's not easy, right? What is to love these unique souls in our lives but to will their good? Sometimes that willing requires distance. To will their good doesn't necessarily imply we "fix" someone, or lean on them to change, or enable sin. Yet in our motivations we should will their good.

I feel bad for his uncle; the Bulge was a really bad time. In addition to the battle itself, it was one of the coldest winters on record in Europe and a lot of US troops had insufficient cold weather gear (I've heard stories about men stuffing newspaper into their boots just to try to insulate away frostbite and others freezing to death in their own foxholes). Add onto that widespread paranoia in light of rumors the Germans had sent English-speaking commandos behind US lines in captured uniforms, so a lot of men felt they couldn't even trust their own comrades. All this, for over a month (12.16.1944 -- 01.25.1945). I think I probably would've lost my mind after a few days.

Taught me how to play poker @ age 5 and talk like Donald Duck-same story- never showed up at our house w/o a sack full of candy and a gift for Mom.

Uncle Ralph went from service setting up weather relay stations in Northern Canada to the Pacific theater after Pearl Harbor. After the war was over the government decided they missed something on his entry physical and he should have been 4f. The result of 5 years of service on his body aggravated the problem and no matter what they did he was in pain all the time. They couldn't medicate enough without turning him into an addict so instead he lived life slightly buzzed on beer instead. He always had time for me although grandma said we were too much alike and that was why we would fight like siblings sometimes. I miss him most at holidays. He introduced me to all the W&F relatives.
