Congratulations to the following students who have achieved honor roll status at Christ The King High School: High School of Art & Design~ Bethany Bonfiglio PAX CHRISTI Sunday s readings celebrate family, the Holy Family in particular, but all families as well. These readings provide us with a great lesson in what it is to be a family. They use words like honor, revere, obey, care for, be considerate, forgive, thank, and most of all LOVE. They acknowledge that it s not always easy to be family, to watch a parent age or lose sight of a wandering child. But they also assure us that there is great reward when we strive to live the lesson. Are we prepared to be this kind of family to our brothers and sisters not only across the dinner table, but also across borders and ideologies and classes? When we say the Lord s Prayer, do we really mean it? Our Father Let s give it a try.
