Today as a Church, we celebrate the feast of the Holy Family. Sometimes we can forget that the Holy Family is just like any other family. They were real people, who had to negotiate their daily ups-and-downs, just like every other family. They had their problems, struggles, and challenges, just like every family on earth. But they stayed true to each other, because there was so much love, acceptance, and respect between them, and they trusted in God. The Holy Family can be much closer to us than we realize. Let each of us pray for their help in our own family life.
Have a blessed week,
Fr. Matt
