The Month of the Holy Family
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph are often represented humbly in artwork. Even the glow around their virtuous heads is usually simple, at least when they are represented as the Holy Family. Not every family is perfect, and after the holiday season, our dysfunctional family may be fresh in our minds. We are called practicing Catholics because despite any struggles in our families we still keep practicing. Remember that even though Mary and Joseph lost Jesus for three days, they are still saints. Even if we feel like we’ve failed, we can still be saints, especially if we ask for the help of the Holy Family. Let’s focus on our families and helping each other grow in holiness.
