THE FEAST OF THE HOLY FAMILY OF JESUS, MARY AND JOSEPH.
THE FEAST OF THE HOLY FAMILY OF JESUS, MARY AND JOSEPH.
Sunday 28th December 2025, Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
Brothers and sisters, why does Holy Mother Church set the last Sunday of the year to celebrate the great feast of the Most Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph?
A few reasons come to mind.
#1. Jesus did not drop from Heaven to earth. He was born into a human family.
#2. The home of Nazareth is the school to learn and understand the life of Jesus.
#3. Our teacher is Mary, the Matriarch of the Holy Family. Mary teaches us three lessons about family life: Silence, Prayer and Work.
#4. The family may be your pathway to holiness: its joys and sorrows are all providentially ordained. Dare not to reject any of it.
In our key Scripture for today from the Gospel Acclamation, I share with you a Rhema word received on Holy Family Sunday over 20 years ago and remembered every Holy Family Feast:
"Let the peace of Christ control your hearts; let the word of Christ dwell in you richly." (Colossians 3: 15, 16).
Receive this word as a special gift today as you make your way through the last moments of 2025.
If the peace of Christ is in your heart and controls your health, job, money, family, food and if the word of Christ dwells in you richly, you will always have a great day, week, month and a grand 2026.
Why and how? "My grace is sufficient for you." (2 Corinthians 12: 9).
Go for Shalom brothers and sisters:
Peace and Word of God to you always!
