Brothers and sisters: Put on, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if one has a grievance against another; as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do. And over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection. And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one body.
- Col 3:12-15
Sunday was the Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary & Joseph. This great feast honors the Holy Family, the model for all Christian families. The readings for this feast are beautiful reflections on the virtues of holiness found in family life. Go here for the readings.
This feast is all about lifting up families and teaching families how to be holy. But what is it that makes a family holy? With all of the attacks on the family in today's world, how can a family even be holy? I attempt to answer these questions in my homily. Check it out below.

On a side note; yesterday Pope Francis gave a big shoutout to large families and the crucial role that they play in contributing to the richness of society. Check it out over at Crux here.
