The Holy Family On December 28 2011 at his Wednesday audience Pope Benedict XVI spoke of the life of the Holy Family in Nazareth Here is a short excerpt The house of Nazareth is a school of prayer where we learn to listen to meditate to penetrate the deepest meaning of the manifestation of the Son of God drawing our example from Mary Joseph and Jesusrdquo
The Holy Family is an icon of the domestic Church which is called to pray together The family is the first school of prayer where from their infancy children learn to perceive God thanks to the teaching and example of their parents An authentically Christian education cannot neglect the experience of prayer If we do not learn to pray in the family it will be difficult to fill this gap later I would then like to invite people to
rediscover the beauty of praying together as a family following the school of the Holy Family of Nazareth
Jesus spent 30 of his 33 earthly years in Nazareth Some spiritual writers have called these the hidden years because there is so little written about them in the Gospel narratives However they reveal the holiness of ordinary life Family life is where the rubber hits the road for most Christians It is here where the universal call to holiness in all its real earthy humanness and ordinariness is first issued It is here where we learn the way of discipleship

The Holy Family On December 28 2011 at his Wednesday audience Pope Benedict XVI spoke of the life of the Holy Family in Nazareth Here is a short excerpt The house of Nazareth is a school of prayer where we learn to listen to meditate to penetrate the deepest meaning of the manifestation of the Son of God drawing our example from Mary Joseph and Jesusrdquo
The Holy Family is an icon of the domestic Church which is called to pray together The family is the first school of prayer where from their infancy children learn to perceive God thanks to the teaching and example of their parents An authentically Christian education cannot neglect the experience of prayer If we do not learn to pray in the family it will be difficult to fill this gap later I would then like to invite people to
rediscover the beauty of praying together as a family following the school of the Holy Family of Nazareth
Jesus spent 30 of his 33 earthly years in Nazareth Some spiritual writers have called these the hidden years because there is so little written about them in the Gospel narratives However they reveal the holiness of ordinary life Family life is where the rubber hits the road for most Christians It is here where the universal call to holiness in all its real earthy humanness and ordinariness is first issued It is here where we learn the way of discipleship

The Holy Family On December 28 2011 at his Wednesday audience Pope Benedict XVI spoke of the life of the Holy Family in Nazareth Here is a short excerpt The house of Nazareth is a school of prayer where we learn to listen to meditate to penetrate the deepest meaning of the manifestation of the Son of God drawing our example from Mary Joseph and Jesusrdquo
The Holy Family is an icon of the domestic Church which is called to pray together The family is the first school of prayer where from their infancy children learn to perceive God thanks to the teaching and example of their parents An authentically Christian education cannot neglect the experience of prayer If we do not learn to pray in the family it will be difficult to fill this gap later I would then like to invite people to
rediscover the beauty of praying together as a family following the school of the Holy Family of Nazareth
Jesus spent 30 of his 33 earthly years in Nazareth Some spiritual writers have called these the hidden years because there is so little written about them in the Gospel narratives However they reveal the holiness of ordinary life Family life is where the rubber hits the road for most Christians It is here where the universal call to holiness in all its real earthy humanness and ordinariness is first issued It is here where we learn the way of discipleship
ldquoThat families especially those who suffer may find in the birth of Jesus a sign of certain hoperdquo

PAPAL QUOTE AND CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING - Faced with disconcerting episodes of violent fundamentalism our respect for true followers of Islam should lead us to avoid hateful generalizations for authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Quran are opposed to every form of violencerdquo (Pope Francis Apostolic Exhortation EVANGELII GAUDIUM 253 Source Vatican website wwwvaticanva)

The Holy Family On December 28 2011 at his Wednesday audience Pope Benedict XVI spoke of the life of the Holy Family in Nazareth Here is a short excerpt The house of Nazareth is a school of prayer where we learn to listen to meditate to penetrate the deepest meaning of the manifestation of the Son of God drawing our example from Mary Joseph and Jesusrdquo
The Holy Family is an icon of the domestic Church which is called to pray together The family is the first school of prayer where from their infancy children learn to perceive God thanks to the teaching and example of their parents An authentically Christian education cannot neglect the experience of prayer If we do not learn to pray in the family it will be difficult to fill this gap later I would then like to invite people to
rediscover the beauty of praying together as a family following the school of the Holy Family of Nazareth
Jesus spent 30 of his 33 earthly years in Nazareth Some spiritual writers have called these the hidden years because there is so little written about them in the Gospel narratives However they reveal the holiness of ordinary life Family life is where the rubber hits the road for most Christians It is here where the universal call to holiness in all its real earthy humanness and ordinariness is first issued It is here where we learn the way of discipleship
