Feast of the Holy Family
This feast is celebrated on December 27, and it is a time to honor the family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. As we gather this year, we can look to Mary and Joseph as models of what it means to live by faith. We can consider together what makes our family holy as we pray:
Prayer for Families
Loving God, During this holy season of Christmas, we ask for your blessing on all families. Let Mary’s openness to your wondrous ways be an inspiration to place all trust in you. Let Joseph’s courage provide hope during times of anxiety and uncertainty. Let Jesus’ life ignite all families with a spirit of light and love. May the grace that encircled the Holy Family widen to embrace all families. For this we pray. Amen.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, |
| “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” |
