The Holy Family

Tuesday, January 11, 2011

May the names of Jesus,

Mary and Joshep, so sweet and

so powerful, never depart

from our heart nor from our lips.

Earthly Trinity

Images of the Holy Family help us to see the beauty of the earthly trinity, Jesus, Joseph and Mary, not only as a model for family life but also as the perfect expression of humankind as created in the Image of God, namely as a community of love. After the fall, this original image was shattered, and we needed a Savior. Jesus, true God and true Man, became part of the human family and its sanctification became possible; devotion to the Holy Family helps to bring us into the unity of that love for which we were created.
