Peace and Good
Dear brothers and sisters rather dear father , mothers and sons and daughters congratulations . Today we celebrate the day of the family and we do it in a very specific way : to the family of Jesus our Lord and Savior , born of woman , born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law . Son of God, but born after the breed of David , ie having as adoptive father Joseph . Thus the prophecies were fulfilled : "Born as the House of David " .Hence all the mystery of God's love for humanity is clear . A love that is present and palpable in the incarnation of the Son of God, who has come to give full meaning and sacred to each and every one of the families . A love that extends beyond doubt in the marriage union of a man and a woman .We just heard two fundamental relations which together constitute the family: husband - wife relationship and parent-child relationship. They also indicated the contents and characteristics of the two relationships : love on the one hand and on the other submission between husband and wife ; obedience of the one part and patience on the other between parents and children. We have absolutely all parents and most have few children , so it is an essential relationship . Ie gives foundation , security, support, balance and accuracy sanctity to human life .Of the two most important relationships is the first : relationship, because it depends largely also the second , that of the children . Two parents can love whatever they want to their children , but , if not also love each other , nothing can also prevent the child grows insecure , spoiled , depressed and elusive in life. It often happens that when two spouses no longer love each other more , each child turns on all the affection itself, unconsciously seeking to link it to himself, and often also flushes the courage or contempt for the spouse, putting the child against the husband or wife .But is not this what you secretly want the child. Try it and ask your child will see it. He wants to be loved and love with a different apparent ; wish , however , that his father and mother love each other and admit you love this . The children know what that love , in which they were born . They are the fruit of that love, and if interrupted them as if they came to miss the ground underfoot.Love is necessarily reciprocal and generous. This is a full , unconditional and generous style of delivery that Jesus has done in his life, of his divinity and his humanity by the great family of God gives .It is also about mutual submission because this is a requirement of love. For lovers , undergo the object of love does not humiliate himself but instead makes them happy. Submit, in this case, means taking into account the will of the spouse, your mind and your sensitivity , and where you want to walk, talk , communicate, do not decide alone or alone . Learn to give up at times own view . In short, remember that it has become " Couple " , that is, to the lyrics, people who are under the same yoke freely admitted .The Bible is the living testimony of the beauty , the greatness and dignity of the relationship : " God make man in his own image I , the image of God he created them , male and female created he them ." ( Gen 1:27)The Bible puts a strong relationship between being created "in the image of God" and being " male and female " .But what relationship is there between the two? What he felt the male and female being, the human couple , is an image of God? God is not male or female !
The similarity is that God is one and alone, but not lonely . Love demands communion , personal exchange , requires that there be an "I " and " Your " . Therefore, the Christian God is triune . It coexist unity and distinction : unity of nature , to will, intentions , and distinguishing characteristics and people.The human family is the image of God precisely in this. The human family is a reflection of the Trinity. Husband and wife are indeed one flesh , one heart, one soul, even in the diversity of gender and personality . In the couple closer together unity and diversity. Husbands are opposite each other , with an "I " and " Thou " and are ahead of the rest of the world, starting with their own children , as a "we." As if it were a single person, no longer singular but plural . "We," that is, " Your mother and I," " Your father and I " . The result of all this are healthy, strong , mature and holy families .
Congratulations to each of the members of your family!
Peace and Good
