Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph - December 28, 2025
Today's readings offer a number of lessons about family life. Ben Sira shares his wisdom about Children's responsibilities to their parents, particularly as their parents age. Saint Paul's advice to the Colossians about how to treat each other teaches us well how to treat members of our own families. The Holy Family places their trust in the Lord as they fear for their safety in dangerous circumstances. May today's readings encourage us as we seek God's blessings upon families of every kind.
