The Family of Jesus
"Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man."
— Luke 2:52
Heavenly Father,
Jesus grew up in a family. Mary and Joseph raised Him, loved Him, accompanied Him. This ordinary and extraordinary family at the same time.
Thank You for this example of family life. For the love that united them, for their mutual faithfulness, for their openness to Your will.
Bless all families. May they find in this family a model and support. May love, respect, and faith dwell in every home.
Amen.
