Feast of the Holy Family
Feast of the Holy Family
In the post-Christmas haste of travel, exhaustion, hosting and self-giving, it is so easy to let the Feats of The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph; escape almost unnoticed. Let us be thankful and grateful for the gift of our family. I thank you for your commitment to your families. So it may be a good time to set apart sometime to deepen your friendship in the family through the prayers and intercession of Jesus, Joseph and Mary. The holiness that characterized the Holy Family’s daily life in Nazareth will inspire you when the going gets tough, keeping you trained on the ultimate goal of a Catholic family to become saints.
