Feast of the Holy Family
Feast of the Holy Family
Devotion to the Holy Family began in Bethlehem itself. The shepherds and the Magi honoured not only the Child Jesus, but also Mary and Joseph who lovingly cared for Him.
The Holy Family teaches us how to love and protect the Body of Christ, both the Church and the Eucharist. Just as Mary and Joseph cared for Jesus’ physical body with tenderness, we are called to honour His Real Presence with deep reverence.
Looking to their example, we ask forgiveness for times we have failed in love for the Eucharist, and we pray for a renewed devotion to Jesus, who remains with us always.
Holy Family of Nazareth, pray for us. ❤️
