Feast of the Holy Family
Pastor’s Corner ~
CHRISTMAS WITH THE HOLY FAMILY
The Feast of the Holy Family this year comes a day
after Christmas. If we draw a picture of these two
solemn occasions, we can just paint a picture of Jesus,
Mary and Joseph. The Nativity Scene is about Jesus,
Mary and Joseph, and so is the Holy Family. Christmas
is celebrating with our own family the time when God
made us His own family through His Son. God willed
that every person born in this world will pass through a
family, because the family can be a visible experience
of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man.
On this Feast of the Holy Family, we offer this prayer for
all families in the world.
