Wholeness, Holiness, and Family - December 28, 2025

The Feast of the Holy Family. We gear up for some challenging readings.We start with asking for a memory of honoring family. (We also acknowledge that sometimes honoring family is best from a distance. )We explore the biblical instructions to "obey" or to "be submissive" and the revolutionary message that was implicit in these readings - based on the world at the time. We mention the elderly "nuns on the run," recently in the news, who challenged such orders. We discuss symbolic meanings of Egypt and our own inner Herods.
