First Reading: Isaiah 9:1-6 Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 97 2nd Reading Ephesians 1:3-6, 15-18 Alleluia: John 1:14A, 12A Gospel: Matthew 18:1-5, 10 Today is the feast of the Sto. Nino in the Philippines and also the feast day of children. Fr. Dennis Paez, a psychologist and marriage counselor, helps us to understand better how our unsettled childhood issues impact our present lives adversely. Our families hurt us the most, he says. It is also our families that can heal us. This is the 1013th installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings. [NOTE: All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives.
