This weekend the Church celebrates the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. In the Second Reading we hear, “Children, obey your parents in everything for this is pleasing to the Lord.” This verse in the Bible, along with the fourth commandment, is among the favorites of parents and probably quoted often. We can reflect on the lives of Mary and Joseph as they raised the child Jesus. We can also reflect on Mary's role of watching Jesus in His ministry, praised and derided, by family and friends. We can also be filled with gratitude for our own parents, living or deceased. Have a Happy and Blessed 2026 Year!
