Jesus, Mary & Joseph

Let us strive to imitate

the Holy Family’s

mutual love and con-

cern for one another.

By being born into a human family, the eternal

Son of God has blessed every family, and so

made marriage and family a pathway to holiness

and eternal life. In the face of God’s ever-

flowing generosity, highlighted for us today in

the blessing of family life, we become aware of

our human shortcomings and our need for God’s

mercy and love.
