☆ Gospel:Matthew 2:13-15, 19-23
13
And when they had gone, an angel of the Lord came to Joseph in a dream, saying, Get up and take the young child and his mother, and go into Egypt, and do not go from there till I give you word; for Herod will be searching for the young child to put him to death.
14
So he took the young child and his mother by night, and went into Egypt;
15
And was there till the death of Herod; so that the word of the Lord through the prophet might come true, Out of Egypt have I sent for my son.
19
But when Herod was dead, an angel of the Lord came in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
20
Saying, Get up and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: because they who were attempting to take the young child's life are dead.
21
And he got up, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22
But when it came to his ears that Archelaus was ruling over Judaea in the place of his father Herod, he was in fear of going there; and God having given him news of the danger in a dream, he went out of the way into the country parts of Galilee.
23
And he came and was living in a town named Nazareth: so that the word of the prophets might come true, He will be named a Nazarene.

☆ Sirach 3:2-6, 12-14 **
2
For the Lord sets a father in honor over his children
and confirms a mother's authority over her sons.
3
Those who honor their father atone for sins;
4
they store up riches who respect their mother.
5
Those who honor their father will have joy in their own children,
and when they pray they are heard.
6
Those who respect their father will live a long life;
those who obey the Lord honor their mother.
12
My son, be steadfast in honoring your father;
do not grieve him as long as he lives.
13
Even if his mind fails, be considerate of him;
do not revile him because you are in your prime.
14
Kindness to a father will not be forgotten;
it will serve as a sin offering-it will take lasting root.
** Sirach 3:2-6, 12-14

☆ Colossians 3:12-21
12
As saints of God, then, holy and dearly loved, let your behaviour be marked by pity and mercy, kind feeling, a low opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, and a power of undergoing all things;
13
Being gentle to one another and having forgiveness for one another, if anyone has done wrong to his brother, even as the Lord had forgiveness for you:
14
And more than all, have love; the only way in which you may be completely joined together.
15
And let the peace of Christ be ruling in your hearts, as it was the purpose of God for you to be one body; and give praise to God at all times.
16
Let the word of Christ be in you in all wealth of wisdom; teaching and helping one another with songs of praise and holy words, making melody to God with grace in your hearts.
17
And whatever you do, in word or in act, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving praise to God the Father through him.
18
Wives, be under the authority of your husbands, as is right in the Lord.
19
Husbands, have love for your wives, and be not bitter against them.
20
Children, do the orders of your fathers and mothers in all things, for this is pleasing to the Lord.
21
Fathers, do not be hard on your children, so that their spirit may not be broken.
