SANCTIFYING THE FAMILY
Dear brothers and sisters, today we celebrate the feast of the Holy Family. We all belong to a family consisting of our parents, brothers and sisters and we are aware how much they care for us and how much we owe to our families. The Holy Family of Nazareth was also a well-knit unit. Each member of the Holy Family excelled in his/her own way each upholding the values of Family life to the maximum level possible and thereby providing a model for all families to imitate. There was perfect harmony, understanding and freedom in the holy Family. The Book of Genesis narrates very vividly that Adam felt lonely and his loneliness could be removed only when God created Eve. The family that God envisaged for his Son consisted of his mother Mary and foster father Joseph. Are our families suitable dwelling places for their members?
