December 29, 2024, Feast of Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, Holy Rosary (Glorious Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary,

Merry and Holy Christmas!

Today, December 29, the Sunday following Christmas Day, we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.

This celebration emphasizes the importance of family life following the role model and virtues of the holy family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.

With its challenges and joys, family life becomes a path to holiness as long as it is bonded in love and obedience to the Lord.

The Son of God became a member of a humble family. Jesus, the man-God, lives the family love of a father and a mother.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church states,

“The Christian family is a communion of persons, a sign and image of the communion of the Father and the Son in the Holy Spirit. In the procreation and education of children it reflects the Father's work of creation. It is called to partake of the prayer and sacrifice of Christ. Daily prayer and the reading of the Word of God strengthen it in charity" (CCC 2205).

Today’s feast is especially important as parents and children face many threats to the family being truly Christian.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

Come, Holy Spirit, come!

To Jesus through Mary!
