The Feast of the Holy Family

• Lectionary Readings from the USCCB

The Sunday after Christmas is celebrated as the Feast of the Holy Family. When we contemplate the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, we may be tempted to think that this family is very different from our own. And in many ways the Holy Family is unique. But in very fundamental ways the Holy Family is just like ours, and in fact we are included in Jesus’ extended Holy Family. In the Incarnation, Jesus became part of our family. This is what we discuss in this week’s reflection. Enjoy and share!
