Feast of the Holy Family: The Redeeming of Family Life Through Christ

Jan. 12, 2020 - In the Collect Prayer for the Mass of the Feast of the Holy Family we pray these words, "O Lord Jesus Christ, who, by being subject to Mary & Joseph, hast consecrated home life with ineffable virtues: grant that, with the help of both, we may be instructed by the example of thy Holy Family, and attain to its eternal fellowship." Because Christ subjected Himself to be a part of a family in the fallen human condition, our family life can be redeemed and made whole again. What Christ, the Divine, joins Himself to He redeems and makes new. Today we explore this wondrous truth and look at the virtues found in a family that is being made whole again.
